The Birthday Girl

My little Halloween birthday girl turns six today. The six things I love about Paige are: her genuine sweetness, caring for others, affectionate, smart, loving, and silly-goofy side. I'm not biased or anything. For her birthday, she really wanted a pool party. So when we decided this last month, we made sure she knew that it was based on the weather. She must have been saying her prayers each night because we had a gorgeous sunny day here yesterday, perfect for a Little Mermaid pool party. Paige and I made bracelets and magnets for her guests using bottlecaps and beads. Most of the papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Sea Salt line which is perfect for a pool party. 

The Cove

We had a nice time exploring the cove yesterday. The sea lions stole the show and won the kids' hearts as best sight of the day. They are ready to go snorkeling there, but looks like we'll have to wait until next summer when the water warms up again. Plus, I have this little thing in the back of my mind that sea lions are at a certain place on the food chain and where there are sea lions, there are...cue the Jaws music.

Little Frankenstein

I saw this Frankenstein Billy from Pink Cat Studio and thought of my little nephew, so I whipped up a simple Halloween card with  him in mind. I can't believe Halloween is just next week. Let the sugar rush begin!

My Little Pumpkin

I made a simple scrapbook page using pieces of the latest kit. I look back at these pictures of Nick with such nostalgia. I can't believe that he no longer is that little baby. Bate's is such a great place to get photos of the kids and a great place to wander about. I don't think we are going to make it there this year, for I have a feeling Brian is "over it". And in some small way, I am too. But, we'll always have our memories and there's always next year (just in case).
