I have so enjoyed the weather the last few days. This morning was so warm the girls and I worked outside for several hours putting away lawn furniture and racking leaves. I just love it when I feel like I’ve accomplished so much while involving the kids.
Another fun task I’ve done with Tess today is scan her art. Since school started she has really shown improvement in the art department. There have been pictures she’s brought home that I’ve actually questioned whether or not she drew them. I know she did though. She’s more creative these days. In fact yesterday dinner was taking more time than planned so the family sat down and watched “Everyday Italian” together (now Megan asks for it), but Tess chose to draw instead. I’ve been meaning to scan her projects so I can have a digital copy, plus I am working on a layout for her. She loved helping me do this.
I’ve also been going through tons of old cloths in search of warm weather clothing for Tess and Megan. I’ve bought them a few things, but knew I had a bunch of stuff in boxes so I wanted to go through them before I bought anything else. Well, apparently Tess doesn’t need any pants. I turned up about 12 pairs of pants just for her. I was actually really surprised that most of them fit. She has such a small body but needs the length of the bigger size so the adjustable waist has saved us; however, back in the day they didn’t have adjustable waist so I was afraid most things wouldn’t fit. I guess it pays to have all girls and a sister with two who spent $ on nice durable pants.

(Shirts are a different story and most the time I end up buying new tees every year.) Both Megan and Tess got a kick out of looking through all the cloths and never complained once when I asked them to try something on. Why would they, they change their cloths several time throughout the day. I think I have some fashion lovers on my hands.
Yesterday I spent a lot of time completing my monthly goal of going through all my photos from the month and getting prints made. I remember Jill telling me one of the reasons that kept her from going digital was you never have any prints. It’s so true. If you don’t stay on top of it you end up with a lot of photos in a file just sitting on your computer instead of the usual stack of prints. So I made a goal that ever month I would go through my photos, upload them, and get them printed out. I have done this for about the last 6 months and have loved it. Now I have photos to scrapbook and a pile to enjoy flipping through. I just sent in an order to shutterfly yesterday and I’m so excited to get them back. Adam is going out of town this week so I am hoping to spend more time being creative than worrying about dinner and house stuff. Here are just a few photos I took from our outing to the “pumpkin patch” a few weeks ago. I had not looked at them before yesterday. In fact I sort of forgot about them. I wonder how long they would have gone unnoticed without my monthly goal.
What are you up to this week?

Your girls are all so beautiful! The photo collage is so nice. I love the idea of going through and printing once a month- I should do that! I have used shutterfly a few times and have been impressed.
Today I am in errand mode but blogging to put it off a little more…
I love Tess’ picture and think it’s great that you’re scanning her art. You know I do that with Whitney’s all the time, and I think it’s going to cool to see how they both progress over the years.
tess’ picture is so cute! what a good idea to scan them.
i have a total thing about printing off my photos, i put in a big order about every two weeks or so and then i also print alot of photos at home… mostly because i think they look so much better printed, i couldnt imagine just letting them sit on my computer. it’s one of my favorite things to do 🙂
love tess’ picture. so cute. i can’t believe how red tess’ hair seems. it’s adorable. i like your layout. you’ve been busy today! i bet it feels great.
Love Tess’s picture. What a great thing to scan her art, that has to make her feel so good!
I think I will adopt your monthly goal as my own. I need to have those stacks of photos. I haven’t tried any of the online services yet. Have you been happy with shutterfly?
I always love your photo collages. What pumpkin patch did you guys go to?
oh sweet! what a great idea! I have 10K photos to look through! GOSH!!! I was almost 1/2 way when the sistem broke…so now I am going to be more choosy. But what I try to do, is before I load them into the computer I usually go through them and really really keep what I like! sometimes 3 so similar…silly but that is the new way! SO AWESOME! your photos! I need a better camera!
