I don't know what to title this

I have spent most of today trying to figure out a way to make my own cloth diaper wraps. My mom found some patterns online, and they helped my creative process (thanks mom!). The problem is, I don't have anything that won't melt in the dryer to keep moisture in. I was going to use the previous vinyl diapers we were using (since they're not going to fit him anyways) as a liner in the wrap, but they don't do so hot in the dryer. My next wonder is: will zip lock bags work as a liner? I will continue to think.

I watched Melissa's daughter, Chloe, yesterday. We had some fun in the studio, so I thought I'd share.

This one is probably my favorite.Mom was with me when I got this boa. Chloe just adored it.


She wanted to give the flower to mommy.



I let her give this one to mommy.

I told her there was a bug in there, she didn't believe me.We had a blast picking up all of these rose petals. They were hard getting into the tin the first time, let alone the second time. She shut the container with my hand in there. OUCH!

We had fun and Melissa loves the pictures. Which, is what it's all about. Melissa said you can't get a good, non-fake smile out of her. Here's my trick for any kid that wants to give a big "CHEESE", have them say crazy sayings like "Cheeseburgers and onion sauce" it makes them laugh while they're saying it and they can't just strike a pose. I've heard another photographer have kids say "YES!" and "CANDY!", but I find the kids look at me and wonder what they're saying yes to or they want candy. Silly phrases work for me. Use my tip if you'd like, I won't copyright it.

I applied for an evening job at Hollywood Video. They need someone for the night shift. The manager has already said he wants to hire me back. However, the McKinley store is closing so he has to hold off on hiring for right now. He's hoping the district manager will let him hire me since I've already worked there. Let's pray that she does.

Okay, off to bed. Well, actually, I watched "David" the last few nights (TNT makes long movies about Bible characters-go figure). "Solomon" is next.

One more thing, I have Christmas Eve to upload to Target's Kodak Gallery to share with everyone. Once I get that done (hopefully tomorrow or Monday), I will post a link to get to them.
