Scrapbooking with a Baby

This is how you scrapbook with a baby:

At 11:00 am - Put baby in swing.
Spend 20 minutes picking out paper to go with your pictures.
Glue down one picture.
Change diaper. Feed baby while watching Food Network.
Put baby down for nap.
Glue down second picture and worry about paper choice.
Veg in recliner a few minutes.
Baby wakes up.
Put baby in excersaucer.
Glue down third picture.
Baby frustrated. Move to play on floor.
Cut out 3 letters for title.
Rescue baby from activity gym that he has flipped over on him.
Go upstairs for more supplies.
Feed baby while watching Food Network. Try to put baby down for nap. Unsuccessful.
Put baby in car seat on kitchen counter. Cut out the rest of letters.
Again attempt nap, but batteries in swing and crib aqaurium are both dead.
Change poopy diaper.
Play on floor.
Glue down a few letters. Look for batteries. Rats! Only have 3 and need 4.
Hug, kiss, and cuddle. Get sad because he has to go back to daycare tomorrow.
Realize it is 2 pm and you have not had breakfast or lunch. Eat frozen pizza.
Repeat previous steps in random order for 3 more hours.
Nearly finish 2 pages, then baby is so tired he bawls.
Give up and only replace 3 of 4 batteries in swing.
Swing works great, baby falls asleep.
Kick yourself for not trying to get by with 3 batteries sooner.
Finally finish 2nd page and actually do a 3rd.
Baby wakes up. Wake up Dad and give him baby.
Time to cook supper!

You should make this into a journaling on a half finished scrapbook page!
