Made my first digital scrapbook page last night...
well the first one that I actually saved...I've made lots just playing around!
had to do something creative last night!
I love this picture of the guys... just wish it was better quality, so I could frame it! {took it from Chaylynn on facebook}
Levi has been getting anxious for warm weather to ride his bike and me too with my bronco and the soft top on!
***oh and Happy Birthday RJ, if you see this!

I love St. Patrick's Day...because I love seeing every body wear green! Green just happens to be my favorite color!
I made a last minute card for Levi...{I always plan in my head, ahead of time...but you know me, everything ends up being last minute!}
Ha ha...funny card :) We dropped it off to him at work...along with some chocolates...had I known he didn't wear his green shirt today, I would have dropped it off! "I thought it was the 28th!?" Yeahhhh....He's horrible with dates and didn't even know it was St. Patrick's Day, shame on him!
have you had these??...sooo good!
Then we went to Hobby Lobby...which I think has been open since Tuesday but I didn't believe Levi when he told me, they said they were opening up on the 18th, but I drove by and they were open!
So when we got there, I parked next to a shopping cart which is always nice...and as soon as I put Isa in it, I noticed that someone left a green wallet in the cart. I opened it up and there was a ton of money, credit cards...etc, I was trying to find checks or something with a phone number on it...but I couldn't find anything. I checked the address on the girl's license and she lived right up the road, so I figured I'd just drop it off to her {you never know if you return something to someone else if they will be as honest as you were, which has definitely happened before}...and then as soon as I got Gulianna and Anthony out she came back...lucky her! We went into Hobby Lobby...Gulianna had to walk, since they have the teeniest shopping carts!? I don't understand that...people buy more stuff if they have more room to put stuff in! They should fix that...plus it's an inconvenience if you have 3 little kids! {Ross & Kohl's please advise too!}
Anyway so we were looking around and then Gulianna tells me something that I don't like to hear when I'm in a store, "mom I have to go to the bathroom!" Nooooooo! That means that I have to hurry and find the bathroom, take my 3 kids in there...hope that it is somewhat clean and that I get the 'big stall'...{remember I hate dirty bathrooms} because I have to set the carseat on the floor, you never know if they mop often, or if someone puked all over or if the toilet flooded...etc... and I have to make sure Isa will stand in one spot and not touch anything! I'm telling ya it's really hard for me...I get so grossed out! Luckily the bathrooms were new and fairly clean.
So back to Gulianna telling me she has to go pee, I ask her if she can hold it for a minute, and she says yes. {I've trained her well :)} I found the fabric that Claudia needed and then took a picture of it and ohhh yeah Claudia I remember! That's why you didn't get the text, that was when Gulianna pushed the back door open and set off the fire alarm! Oh my gosh...who does that! Way to go, break everyone's ear drums in the store! I hope she doesn't touch one again!
We waited for someone to turn it off, and then she said sorry. Then she said she had to poop. Hmmm really, did it scare the shit out of ya!? Well she didn't have to by the time we got to the bathroom.
After that we had to leave because Anthony was hungry...so I nursed him in the Durango, and then we took some pictures...
And then left for the bank...
Well I got to the bank and realized, uhhh I don't have my wallet. Grreat...I left it in the shopping cart. Just like the girl did, that used the cart before me.
My wallet is green too...
Good thing today was St. Patrick's Day...and I'm lucky!
I went back and checked the cart but it wasn't there. So I parked in the front {in the fire lane, lol} since my kids were sleeping, ran in to ask, and they said yes we have it, it's locked in the safe. So nice! And did I mention lucky? Levi would have killed me, because he just gave me a hundred bucks to go deposit in the bank. But I had to stop at Hobby Lobby first! Everything was in there including the money, they said everything was not in order, when they opened it to find my driver's license everything fell out! Note to self: clean out my wallet again. I swear I just did that last week!

This is what we did today! Pink toes! The girls' fingernails and toenails grow so fast, so just about every two weeks they get to have "pink toes!" Both Gulianna and Isa always say that they need more pink on their toes! Or if Gulianna rips her nail she says "mom I got a snaggle nail!" {she used to say 'snuggle' nail!}If Isa has one she runs to me and says "mom, nail!"
I will usually clip them right after they take a bath, but today it didn't happen that way...so I ran some bath water, and we all stood in it for a couple minutes...
Waiting impatiently...while I take photos!
Isa's toes...
Gulianna's toes...
I'm hoping that Revlon still makes this color...I've had it for six or seven years! I don't even know the name of it, because Gulianna peeled off the label on top! But I love it!
It's fun to have little girls, and they love to have pink toes!

I forgot that we had these stored away...just got them out yesterday for Anthony to play with! He loves them!
Why didn't I get them out sooner!? Oh yeah, I forgot.
Oh...and Anthony is 6 months now! Crazy!
Didn't I just have him?

After missing two DVD's I realized that they must have been inside the tv, because we only have so many places to look! Within the next couple of days, more and more movies were missing...and Gulianna kept telling me that "Isa did it! They are in the tv!"
So Levi took apart the tv and sure enough there were TWELVE dvds inside!
Leave it up to Isa to do something like this! Look at her face!

Here's how to put 4 wallets onto either a 4x6 print, or 5x7...that way you can get what you want, instead of multiples of the same picture at Walmart, Sam's or Costco! I like doing it this way, because wallet size photos are perfect for mini books and pages, I take a lot of photos and can't ever decide which ones to use, most are slightly different, yet they capture different personalities in each one, so it makes it easy to fit more on a scrapbook page!
{I just use Photoshop Elements...I would love to upgrade, still haven't done it yet!}
Open up a new document and set your canvas size to whatever you want 4x6, 5x7 etc...and then open up 4 pictures that you want to use. On each picture, use your manual crop tool and resize them to a 2x3 inches at 300dpi. Then use your move tool and move them onto your new canvas. Flatten, upload and print! You can do this on any photo size, just make sure you do a little math, so that the photos fit!
4x6, 4 photos {2x3 inches}
5x7, 4 photos {2.5x 3.5 inches}
Hope that makes sense!
