So many pictures...

I'm putting together a 'Shutterfly' book of the babies from the past year.  I figure it's a nice gift to the grandparents for either Christmas or a whenever gift and also one for myself.  I got the idea because I received a code for a free book from Pampers for their birthday.  Then I got another code after entering in some My Coke Rewards!  After that one, I made Tony sign up and enter in some codes to get another one.  I knew there was a reason I save all these things - pampers points, coke points etc.!  I've also given some coke points to a co-worker on medical leave with not much to do and my sister who I know loves shutterfly.  I feel I should also add here that I save the old losing scratch off lottery tickets and have them saved for me so I can enter them online and hopefully someday win a million bucks in the 2nd chance drawing!  I think this is why I'm so tired - I somehow find the time to do all these things, but then don't get to bed at a reasonable hour and why some of these posts likely don't make sense or change subject within the same sentence...
So about the book - I have 20 pages to fill and I was originally going to pick one picture from each month plus a few others - 8 to be exact  - but it's so hard to choose!  There are so many cute pictures of them from each month that I've basically got 2 pages per month, but obviously that math doesn't add up.  I'm not done, but I try to work on it each day/night so I can finish before the end of the month - when the Pampers code expires!  I better hurry.  The last time I did this, I tried ordering just before midnight when the code was to expire and it said it was already too late.  I contacted them and they gave me a new one thankfully, but don't want to cut it that close again. 

One last thing before I retire for the night - the babies and I did our first art project.  I did have some help from Melanie and Beth though.  I was feeling crafty the other day and thought of making our thank you cards from the babies birthday.  Yes, that is correct, I still have not gotten around to doing thank you cards from their birthday a few weeks ago.  Hey, I have an excuse, right?  I have triplets!  So I found some ideas online about making handprint animals.  So I got some washable paint and stamped each baby's hand and pressed it to some paper.  I was originally going to make each one individually, but realized quickly that that idea was way too ambitious.  I got Olivia's hand print on the 2nd attempt and hers definitely looks the best.  Amelia's was next and hers came out pretty good on the first try.  Little Tony had about 6-7 attempts and I think I have something I can use.  He had a difficult time keeping his fingers separated so it just ended up looking like a blob of paint on the paper.  So now I have each of their hands, but now need to create the rest of the animal.  Hopefully within a day or two I'll have the finished product to share.  After that I was going to have Tony scan the original artwork and make copies for the Thank you notes. 

I think I can, I think I can....
