Last night I went to cheesecake factory with 8 other mom's from our Moment's for Mom's from church. It was yummy. I had pasta with meat sauce, and then Linda's fudge cake for dessert. SOOO yummy! I don't even want to think about how many calories was in that cake, it was so worth it. Besides, doesn't most of the calories go to baby?
I was able to get a lot accomplish this morning! I had some general housecleaning (a little more than usual since I was out last night, and that left the two boys alone, and that means nothing will get done before bed). I did a small amount of dishes, made the beds, picked up Jonathan's room, and all the toys in the living room. I was also able to get some scrapbooking done. I'm almost caught up on our family album. My goal is to have it done before Lincoln arrives so then in august I'll scrapbook the summer months. I love scrapbooking, it's probably the only real hobby I have and LOVE to do. I feel like other than that, I'm a boring person overall.
I love to document my life through pictures. My scrapbooks keep my past alive for me. Nathan and I really enjoy pulling them out and just looking through them and remembering everything that we do. I've even scrap-booked getting a new washing machine, that's how pathetic I am. I do find that with Jonathan here, I tend to forget to take pictures of everything, I need to work on that. He has 2 albums documenting his 1st 13 months of his life, and I'm going to start his 3rd album soon. I hope to keep up like that for Lincoln, I don't want be one of those mom's that as they have more kids, there is less and less pictures. With digital camera's there is no excuse for me, except laziness or forgetfulness. For example, we got together with our mom's for mother's day outings/dinners, and I didn't get one picture!!! I'm so upset about that! (we might have to go back to coldstone and get a pictures, and pretend it's mother's day. Who's going to remember that 5 years from now...lol) I just know, things in life change so quickly, and I want every moment to be documented. It's just who I am, and what I love to do! As of right now, I have 26 completed scrapbooks! That's not counting the ones I did for my parents (about 6 or 7) and the one I did for kevin and Liz. I LOVE scrapbooking. I wish I got paid to scrapbook. I feel like they aren't always the best, and when comparing them to pages of others, I'm sometimes disappointed in my work, but then I remember, this is something I DID, and I love them. And besides, it's not cheap to make pages like the ones I compare mine to. If I did that, each scrapbook would be close to $400/500! So, I'll keep on making them the way I do, and I love each one of them! I envision myself in a nursing home some day with hundred's of scrapbooks all around me. My memories documented!
well, I've rambled enough for one day. I think it's time to put Jonathan down for a nap! yippy!
