MAD SCRAPBOOKING!!!

I couldn't even begin to tell you how many pictures we've taken of the boys since they were born. I'm sure it's up into the 1,000s. I told Eric I was going to make them each a scrapbook, and until this past week, I have been procrastinating. However, I've busted out about 32 pages of pictures and memories since Sunday and I'm darn proud of it. I'm not a very elaborate scrapbooker. I think pictures and captions are most important and try to stay away from a lot of the embellishments. Eric helped me get the first few months of their lives complete before he left, and I caught everything up. I decided to do 2 pages per kid per month. One page of at least 4 pictures with a matching page of words. Those words include what they did that particular month, what they were eating, number of teeth, crawling, etc. I also tried to make the books very similar so there won't be any arguing over whose book looks better or different. I know what it's like to be a sibling and these things are important! These pages will all go in one book, and I'll continue the "2 pages per kid per month" approach in a new book every year. Completing this makes me feel awesome and I know Eric will be super excited when he sees that it is complete. My THINGS TO DO BEFORE ERIC GETS HOME list is getting smaller and smaller everyday! Balancing the checkbook, steam cleaning the carpets, straightening the office, and picking up miscellaneous stuff are the only things left. I can handle those few things in the next few days. Please keep Eric in your thoughts for a safe return home. It'll only be for 18 days, but I'm sure it'll be a wonderful 18 days!

28 pages per kid! There were so many that they didn't even fit in the picture!
