my other favorite monkeys

teacher appreciation week was this week. monday, we gave brandon's teacher flowers. tuesday, he wrote her a note of thanks. he wrote the whole thing himself on a card he drew. i was feeling to sick to make one so i made him do it! wednesday, we gave her a giftcard to one of her favorite restaurants. thursday, we donated some school supplies. friday, we gave her a handmade card and included another giftcard. i finally felt better to make her a card along with some others to give to the support staff and principal. we chose yogurtland giftcards to put in there. incidently, yogurtland's giftcards are scratch n' sniff!

just another changito card. this monkey is to cute.......reminds me of my 2! have a great weekend all!

halloween pics

here are some pictures from halloween night. i put bryan in the stroller (no use chasing him all night) and brandon walked. not as many homes gving out candy this year--recession??!! bryan was especially quiet 1/2 hr into trick or treating in the stroller so i checked on him. sneaky little boy had ripped opened a piece of chocolate and was sucking on it. no wonder he was content! i asked brandon if he would give some candy to his little brother since i didn't roll the stroller up to people's doorsteps. brandon's reply: "no, mine! i'm doing all the work!" little does he know, i brought a bulk of the candy to work already!

every year, we take a drive to mima's house after trick or treating. she wanted to see them in their ranger costumes. i can let you guess who diana & karen are dressed as. but if anyone can correctly guess who andrew is dressed as, i will send YOU a little prize! (how does he come up with these things?!) mima, like evey year, gives us each a healthy treat--an apple!! yum! and yes.........brandon did put 2 apples where boobies would be...........where does he learn these things??!!

here is another card set i made using 1 image (changito thank u) and 2 pieces of card stock--1 solid and 1 printed. makes for a fast set. i just varied where i place the ribbon & the layout.
