journaling

I always tell people that the most important part of a scrapbook page is the journaling. It is important to know the history behind that picture you are scrapping. Someday your child's child will want to know the story behind the pictures.

Harmony is really getting into scrapbooking. It may have something to do with my new scraproom...But I of course encourage her, on one condition. Every page has to have some journaling on it. I am so mean huh?

So as I was cleaning up her work, I found a cute page. The journaling says, " I am a camper girl. I am an Earth saver girl.The name that mixes these two is Nature Girl. I love the earth and it's elements. I follow the 3 r's (reduce, reuse,recycle). Fire, water, ice and earth. I am Harmony and that is what I am trying to bring to the world."

(the picture was taken at his perfomance on Saturday, where they did all the dances from their cinco de mayo concert)

With tomorrow being the last day of school, the kids are starting to clean out their desks. Harmony's backpack was so weighed down today that she actually ripped a seam. Grrr. Anyway, as I was going through some of Ethan's work, I just had to laugh at these two papers he wrote. ( Creative spelling is Ethan's,not mine!)

"Everyday my brother Ivan brakes my lego creacherus but I didn't hit him. I just built it all over again.The next day I broke my house I mayed. I didn't even care. I just biult it agin. It was cool."

"My friend is Connor. He is my little brother. He is shorter than me. We like to jump rope. He has brown hair like me. We have Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga. We like build it nad then play with. WE love to play video games. Our favorite game is My Sims. We make our own person, a house and a town. We enjoy playing it everyday, except Sunday. Our Mom doesn't let us play on Sunday."

Nothing was written about Harmony though...
