A Crop at the Castle

It was a very busy weekend at our house with a lot of dress up fun, and even a touch of scrapbooking. This is what Alicia wore for most of the weekend. She dressed as Tinkerbell last Halloween, but her costume is much more suitable to summer than to cold weather. She has been having a ton of fun lately "flying" around the house in it.
I've created a new tradition in our house of late, and it works wonders with the girls, although not quite as well with their brother.

I tried moving one of our dining room chairs into the corner by the front living room window, where we have a lot of natural light coming through in the afternoon. This chair is now affectionately referred to as the "Princess' Throne". The girls are now very happy to sit in their castle throne and look out the window at their kingdom, while I shoot away with my camera.

Getting this method to work, however, does require the use of either a pretty costume or a tiara!


Vanessa was also very happy to pose with her latest page. Although Evan didn't participate this weekend, all of the kids love to scrap, and every few weekends we try to squeeze in a little scrapping time. Alicia's page turned out nicely, too, but she just wasn't in the posing mood with it.

The girls are getting a bit more autonomous in their scrapping now, and quite a bit more decisive about their pages. Vanessa wanted very little help with this page, although I did cut out the large flowers for her and align the stickers for her title.

I actually scrapped too this weekend, and it sure feels good to get some pages done. I sure love weekends!
