Busy, Busy, Busy

Well we have been super busy here at Casa de O'Brien.  

Xander with school, Chris with work and me with prepping old baby stuff for consignment sales (Xander's old fall/winter clothes up through 18 months and some old toys)

and getting stuff ready for kiddo #2, which has included moving the spare bedroom to the 

computer room, and painting what will be her room.  

As well as prepping baby clothes, and going through our totes of baby supplies 

to see what we need to replace/restock before the baby comes.  

Not too mention we've had a lot of family fun activities planned on the weekends.  

As a result my time to scrap/post to the blog has been eaten up.   

Whew I am tired just talking about it :)  

So, I am posting some pages real quick before we head off to gymnastics, voting and the grocery store.  

First up are a couple "Blasts from the Past" and a couple of Xander's firsts!

 Page made using the Smell My Feet kit by Bella Gypsy and a Here and Now template by Scrapping with Liz

Page made using the Whispering Autumn kit and Alpha and a challenge freebie template both by Crisdam Designs.

Page made using the Boo kit by Crisdam Designs and a Home Sweet Home template by Connie Prince.

Saw the Monster Eyeball Pops on the Eighteen25 blog (which you can find in the Blogs I Follow section).  

Super easy to make and Xander had a lot of fun making and eating them!

Page made using the All Hallows Eve kit and a For Starters 26 template both by Colie's Corner.

 I am guest CTing for the fabulous Connie Prince this month and this is one of her kits,

which is part of the Ginger Scraps Buffet called Timeless Traditions, as well as a freebie template from her.

The picture was taken my Wicklund Photography and Design.

I just love these pics of my silly boy.  

This page was made using the Kick It kit by Crisdam Designs and an I Heart You template by Mye De Leon. 

Last but not least, Xander has been learning to write his letters and numbers and can now write his name very well without help.

I decided to try to let him write his very first letter to Santa and he did such a good job.  

He is asking Santa for an Imaginext T-Rex dinosaur, the letter is a little hard to read, in the picture :) 

The Big Guy kit by Connie Prince (part of a huge $5 grab bag) worked perfectly for this page.  

The template is also by Connie Price and is from the Storytime collection.

Thanks for looking and hopefully I'll be able to work on some of my P52 layouts soon, 

so I can get caught back up with those and you can see what we've been up to!
