I am LOVING Kristin Aagard's style! She is a new-ish designer and can be seen HERE and also HERE.

Anyway, on to the family info: This is Michael playing in the tub with their all-time fav bath toy. We purchased a brand new pirate ship bath toy with Elmo and Ernie for a friend's son in 2001, then of course wanted one for our own son in 2003. And of course by then it wasn't manufactured anymore, but behold the lovely Ebay had it!:)

And a funny story from today, in Jeff's words:
When I got up this morning, I noticed that Michael's door was still
mostly closed, like it was when we put him to bed last night.

After my shower, I went downstairs and was surprised to see Michael
already down there with a large serving spoon and an opened box of cake
mix, which he was helping himself to as his breakfast!

He had gotten out of bed, closed his door so it looked like he was still
in bed, gone downstairs, used a chair to get into the pantry and get the
cake mix (and maybe opened the plastic wrapper by himself), got a spoon,
and was eating the cake mix like it was no big deal.

Back to Cheri's own words: It's not unusual for him to go downstairs in the morning without telling anyone...it is highly unusual that he took it upon himself to find breakfast! If this becomes a habit we might have to put a toddler lock thingie on the doorknob to the pantry...

Love the layout and the story about Michael and the cake mix is a real hoot! One for the graduation album for sure.

hmmmm cake mix for breakfast, huh? My kids have had microwave popcorn before. He sounds a little sneaky shutting his door like he's in there. haha

Nice LO. Love all those bubbles! I can relate to the "getting into the pantry" LAD has started pulling up his chair to the counter and getting apples, bananas, and whatever else is within reach! Yikes!! Why'd we ever teach/encourage these wee ones to go beyond crawling!!!

*giggling* Hyrum is sneaky like that, too. Used to be, the first clue he was in the kitchen- all of 5 feet away from my bedroom door- was if I heard him spill something on the floor.

Cute layout! The story about your son is so cute. My husband said he used to eat cake mix with his dad and brother whenever his mom was gone for the night. It must be a guy thing. :)
