Summer is Officially Over

We are enjoying some great weather, not too hot and not too humid. Mother Nature's payback for the recent hurricane that passed through. This weather must be enjoyed by being outside....any old excuse will do. So, little one and I pushed her car around, fed the ducks in a nearby pond, and played with the dog. To cap off the day, I decided a swim would be nice. Since summer is winding down, the pools have been open only open on weekends in September. So, beings that it is a weekend, we suited up and drove to the pool... only to discover it closed. Guess I should have checked. Once I did check I was informed that due to the hurricane, the pools will not reopen again until May, next summer!! Little one was NOT happy about this. She loves to play at the pool. As a consolation, we filled up the plastic dog pool in the back yard for a little splash time.

Had a little time to scrap today during little ones nap. Am trying to expand from my normal. For this layout, I used several MCA overlays to gurnge up the paper and the frame. I also used a couple of MCA elements from her Just for Fun Kit (the brown circle and the brown smudge). The swirly with stars came from Random Inspirations Lullaby Lamb kit (have got to use that kit for a couple of Rilee sleeping photos...as it will be perfect!) I also played with colorizing things. I am not real thrilled with the way the title came out so this may change in the future....but, here it is. Little one's first skinned knee.
