September week 2 contestants.

This is from Tamara:
The journaling itself reads "You boys can be so completely happy & full of smiles one second and then if something doesn't got your way or you get told [your least fave word] "No"...then the fireworks begin and we have ourselves a 100% 2 yr old boy FIT!"
The LO features my iden twin sons, Mason and Hayden. The little tabs off the pictures read (top to bottom): SMILE, WHINE, MELTDOWN.

Here is a close-up attachment of the journaling block to show not only the journaling but how I used a lighter to burn (distress) the edges of the paper. (did over the kitchen sink of course! =) I wanted the LO to have an angry-ish feel to it. I used all Close to my Heart products (except for the clear quote sticker on the top right (on the CTMH sticker) which says "Nobody know what a boy is worth, And the world must wait and see; For every man in a honored place, Is a boy that used to be."- Phillips Brooks; and the little alpha letters are Adornit.
This next one is from Timi:
Journaling: It's okay to be afraid of things we don't understand.It's okay to feel anxious when things aren't working our way.It's okay to feel lonely...even when you're with other people.But remember that you're going to realize that it's okay to laugh again. -Laine Parsons

Good times...at least that's what it would appear by these photos. In fact, it wasn't quite the day we had hoped for. The overcast skies definitely matched your mood. You were a bit out of sorts; kind of moody, a little grouchy, not your usual self. When we asked if you were having fun, you just shrugged your shoulders. We weren't sure what was wrong. Were you tired? Bored? Were we too hard on you lately? Was it just a bad day? We weren't sure. Your mood eventually got better ~ it just took a bit longer than we expected.
