Unique

When my DH works afternoon shift the boys and I always have a "movie date". What do my boys want for their movie snack?? Popcorn and MARSHMALLOWS! I thought they were crazy. But they insisted, so I said what the heck, we'll give it a try. Well it turns out to be delicious. Give it a try next time you're making popcorn. I had to document the moment and it will also be a reminder of our movie dates when they grow too big to hang out with their Momma.

I used the Colorbok Friendly Forest line for everything.
Random scrap geen CS and Fiskars upper crest border punch
Brads and a tiny little prima flower.

The birthday cup-cake

My fabulous mother-in-law always makes the boys a cake for their actual birthday and we have a fun little party with only the grandparents, Brad, the boys and I. This year when Grammy (my MIL) asked what kind of cake Dylan wanted there was no shortage of necessities. The journaling reads
"Dylan isn't asking for much on his cake
REALLY
Just cars, oh and dinosaurs
and can't forget monster trucks!
Oh yeah, and a jungle
Don't worry though
Theres no pressure Grammy!

I made the bears in SCAL and I hand cut the cupcake. The title block is from Storybook.

Sunkissed Summertime
