Buddys!
I couldn't be more pleased that they are buddies
It’s no secret, along with my Husband, Sons and Daughters-In-Laws, these two little fellows own my heart. As a young Mother of two, I often worried about how often my boys argued and wrestled. It was my goal to instill strong core values while allowing them blossom into the amazing individuals they were created to be, in the hopes their relationship would be strong and that they would be friends when they were grown.
Not only am I immensely proud of the men they have become, but I am grateful to have achieved my goal: they ARE friends! The desire continues to do all I can to help Will & Izzy be friends; and we are lucky to be able to nurture their relationship. Each month while the “big boys and girls” are L.A.R.P.ing, I open what I affectionately refer to as “Grammy’s Day Care”; while the big kids nurture their relationships, Grammy gets to carry on the legacy of nurturing the younger ones’ relationship with each other too. Eventually, Hubby & I won’t be on this world anymore; I know I will rest in peace knowing I have fulfilled my job as Mother and Grandmother teaching tolerance and love.
The pictures on this spread were taken while Nick & Crystal and Thad & Jennifer were L.A.R.P.ing last weekend. Grammy’s Day Care was opened so Grumpy & I played with Will & Izzy that day. We tend to not to be rigid to any particular scheduled activity; rather, we just go with the flow and enjoy what the day brings. The little boys love kid’s meals from fast food restaurants so we decided to go to a nearby one. As we drove there, we saw a small road sign directing to a park and decided to check it out. There was a wonderful playground where the boys had a good time and provided me lots of photo opportunities. We ate in the glorious sun and even Grumpy spent a little while on the swings…OK, Grammy even went down the spiral slide too! There was a baseball field where we had an imaginary ball game and while doing so, we noticed a path winding around another ball field and decided to check it out. The path ended up looping through a large wooded area where the boys quickly led the way. As we journeyed through the woods, I noticed how the boys stayed close to each other and felt a great sense of satisfaction that they had grown to walking side-by-side rather than competing to be first. I had to snap pictures all along the way; these shots are just some of the ones I felt depicted my feelings while they walked.
And as usual, the paper supplies and embellishments are from ClubScrap; this kit is the April 2005 Down To Earth kit which I felt was appropriate. I created the spread for the last week of this season of the ProScrpping League on ClubScrap’s forum. The challenge was to use a sketch layout, or ALSB instructions, from a kit different than you chose to use; the sketch I chose was from ClubScrap’s January 2005 Mosaic Twist kit.
The pictures of Grumpy on the swings and Grammy on the slide MAY surface at another time…consider yourself warned!
Happy scrapping!
