We planted our garden pretty late this year, so we had corn on the cob kind of late. We picked our very last cobs a few days ago.

Here is Keric eating the last of his corn for the year.

Today was an exciting day for me! I have been digital scrap booking for about 6 months now. There are tons of aspects to the "digiscrap" world! One of those aspects is being part of what is known as a Creative Team.

A Creative Team is a team of people who "work" for a specific designer helping her to promote her digital kits. You get all the fun kits for free in exchange for doing layouts with her stuff and posting them in various places. They are supposed to inspire other scrappers, and also "sell" the kit.

I have applied for a few Creative Teams in the past, but have never made the cut. I got pretty close one time, but didn't make it. This last week there have been several Creative Team calls on lots of sites, and so I applied to 3 this week.

The first team I applied to, I got a "no". I was pretty discouraged, because this was actually a designer that I have a lot of kits from, but sadly, the competition was pretty tough.

HOWEVER...much to my surprise I got an e-mail from the second designer I applied to inviting me to be on her team! She is a new designer, so her store isn't real big yet, but she has such cute stuff! I'm so excited to be on a team!

Chris doesn't "get it", he's not nearly as excited as I have been all day, but lots of my digiscrapping friends are excited for me, so that's good enough.

I have already completed and turned in my first Layout for a kit that will be released in stores on October 30.

I guess we'll see how the application for the 3rd team goes, but for now, I will just say, YEA ME! :)

We had some library books that were due today, so Bubby and I made a trip to the library.

I try to take him once in awhile and check out a book. I haven't been brave enough to stay for any of the story times, or the other little activities that they do for the kids, because he has kind of become a mess, but he can look at the books for a few minutes without being TOO horrible.

We found a book called "Buffalo Wings" and we sat down and looked at the pictures for a little while. He is just getting WAY TOO big and looking far more grown up then I would like for him to!

This morning between the hours of 12 a.m. and 7 the tooth fairy made her very first vist to Reagie!

She was really excited to put her tooth under her pillow last night for the tooth fairy. After Family Prayers I heard her talking to Cameron about waking her up in the morning. Cameron has always been a fairly early riser, and Reagan is more of a sleeper. She made Cameron PROMISE her that he would wake her up if he was awake and she wasn't yet. At the time I thought it was because she was nervous about making it to school on time for walk to school day.

So this morning, true to his word, on his way to the shower, Cameron woke Reagan up. I was up getting ready and I overheard this conversation between Cameron and Reagan.

Reagan: Cam, I think the tooth fairy came last night.

Cam: Did you check under your pillow Mae?

Reagan: Well...I wanted to, but I'm scared.

Cam: Mae Mae, what are you scared about?

Reagan: I don't know, I'm just scared. Can you come look for me?

Cam: OK...I'll come look under your pillow for you.

Shortly after that, Reagan came in to show us the two dollars all folded into cool little triangles that the tooth fairy had left for her.

I'm not exactly sure what was so scary about the tooth fairy, but I guess it was a good thing Cameron was there to protect Reag from her.

Keric and I had to go up to Mama Anne's this morning for a little while. Keric has figured out where the Toy room is at Mama Anne's and he heads directly for it when we get there.

Today he found this little stuffed duck that he came carrying out. He kept snuggling it and saying "ohhhhhhh". He carried that Duck around with him the entire time we were there, and when it was time to go, he wouldn't give it up! He just screamed when I tried to put it back in the Toy room.

I called Mama Anne and asked if she cared if he borrowed it, and she said he could have it. He of course was thrilled when I let him get in the car with it. He snuggled his Duck all the way home!

I don't know how long poor "quackers" will last in our house, since it drives Chris crazy. The catch to quackers is that it actually DOES quack, and not only does it quack, it quacks out the tune to Old McDonald had a Farm.

I guess I'm around Bubby enough all day, that all the noisy toys he has don't bug me quite as bad anymore. :) The Duck is one of the less annoying ones to tell ya the truth!

I hope quakers stays around for awhile, because I love to watch Bubby carry him around saying "ohhhhhhh".

In one of his many drawer content throwing episodes, Keric found an apron in the drawer.

He wanted me to put it on him, but when I would try, he would get get upset. I finally I just gave it back to him because I figured he really didn't want me to put it on him after all.

A few minutes later, I found him walking around with the apron on his head! So it wasn't that he didn't want the apron on...it was just that I was putting it on wrong!

What a nut!
