Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

Shock factor

I know that everything is getting more expensive because of fuel costs and all other excuses in general. The packaging is getting smaller. It's just getting tougher in general for all things. I KNOW all this, but what a shocker on something I purchased the other day. Diapers. We buy lots and lots of diapers in this household. Walmart has been out of the ones we buy for weeks. They finally got some in. Apparently the manufacturer had a packaging change. Imagine that! This large box of diapers is now $5.00 more AND it has 20 diapers LESS in the package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of all the packaging changes lately, I think this one takes the cake. Sam and April had better get on the ball in understanding using the potty!

Now on to other things...One Memory At A Time released a new kit, Cayenne, on Tuesday and on sale now for 25% off. It is full of reds and oranges. Check it out here. And have a look at my layouts with this new beauty.
This is April being held upside down by Dacy at one of the boys' baseball games.

This is Kara and Dacy playing around.

Next up, Amy Sumrall Designs, is releasing a new kit called Summeroo. It should be available in her store at Gotta Pixel today. I used this awesome new kit and a template by Sweet Scraps to create this fun page...

I remember the diaper years and don't miss them at all. I love your layouts, especially the third one. The kids look like they are having so much fun!

I have three in diapers so believe me when i say i feel your pain! My oldest in diapers is special needs and his therapists doesnt want to "push" potty training even though he will be four in September
