Playing With Daddy

Well ... the rules of the ADSR2 challenge #7 were changed ... so Shawn and I had to redo my layout because we couldn't use templates.

My new layout was made using an enlarged photo of my husband combined with a blue paper from Sharia Braxton's Little Boy Blue kit. The Reel is from Pamela McNicol’s Digitreats Expecting You kit ... recolored using a paper from Sharia Braxton's Little Boy Blue kit.

Shawn added to the layout and made it pretty. The paper behind the reel and star on top of the reel are from Amanda Thorderson's America the Beautiful kit, and the flourish is SwirlsII brush by Obsidian Dawn.

Journaling reads as follows: Mitch has been gone so much lately that the boys have not gotten to spend any time with him. First he was always busy with work and then they went to the field for 3 weeks. He did manage to come home a full week before he was due to leave for school. He was still busy that week at work and the boys didn't see him much then either. It was really nice to see them outside having fun outside Friday night. They tossed football, played helicopter and generally acted goofy. I think we had about 10 kids in the front yard that evening. I got a real laugh when Mitch kicked the big playground ball in the air ... he kicked it so high that it got stuck on the 3rd floor balcony. That apartment is empty so we couldn't get the ball back ... that ended that game real quick.. I got the ball back on Monday when the workers were there to clean.
