Let's Talk About Girls

Tonight, I had the rare and enviable opportunity to go to the movies, escorted by two eight year old boys. And not just any movie, but a GIRL movie. A tale about true love and kissy kissy and all of that GIRL stuff. Enchanted, complete with singing, and shopping and KISSING.

"Why," do you ask "would two boys be going to see this movie?"

Well, first - it was a fundraiser for a softball team. But more importantly, it meant that Jacob and his best friend could get together on a school night. And act all crazy, weird and boyish. Around girls.

Jacob's favorite part of the movie was when the chipmunk pooped on the counter. Michael's favorite part was when the girl in front of him turned around and belched -loudly. My favorite part was at the end during the KISSING part, when all the little girls up front started cheering and giggling. I glanced over at Jacob and Michael just in time to see their looks of digust, perhaps mingled with just a little bit of curiosity.

And speaking of girls. I did this layout last weekend of Jacob with his favorite (and only) girl cousin.




The scrolled chipboard from Fancy Pants was inked in pink, and then coated with Stickles. I would also like to point out that this is my first use of my very own Amazing to Zany word set from Stampin Up! I no longer have to borrow Chris' set - so expect to see lots more of it! I also pulled out my dusty sewing machine and bravely changed the bobbin. Now you shall see lots of sewing until the next time I need to change the bobbin. My 8th grade sewing teacher would be so proud.
