Where has my summer vacation gone??

As a teacher, you NEED summer vacation by the time June rolls around...the possibilities seem endless to fill those 2 1/2 months with the family and projects that you have neglected during the school year. So you do FILL THOSE MONTHS! And they fly by- then the letter is in the mailbox announcing the back-to-school trainings and the soccer schedules are posted and you think, Where did all that delicious time go?

My triplets b-day is in July. This photo was snapped at their party with one of their cousins. My scrapbook abulms are organized around the kids ages and the teacher "Year". Every album ends with their b-day so that the final page is a picture of the three of them from their party. This will be the last picture in their "7 year old" book. Since I haven't even started that book, I got a t-shirt shadow box for 1/2 price at Michaels (around $6) and put the page in there so I can admire it for awhile.

Card stock: Cranberry, Crystal Blue, Black, Cranberry, Moonstruck
