so this week's theme is
THANKFUL.
i did a layout about the youngest peanut of the erickson bunch.
the peanut who almost never was.
way back in 2003 my husband and i made a deal.
i wanted a third kid and he did not.
he was happy with two, a boy and a girl.
i just knew was meant to be the mom of 3.
(would have been nice to have 4, but that would require more money than i have, as well as a TUMMY TUCK.)
so, we discussed and negotiated.
after the dust cleared, i walked away with abby (see above) and ron got a new pool table. :)
(he will swear to this day that it was supposed to be a motorcycle, but that is false.)
i am SOOOOO glad we decided to shoot for a family of five.
abby is fan-flippin-tastic and in case you have not seen her dance moves: they are stellar.
ah yes....
you can win this stamp set:

What a great story! Just had me smiling out loud! A motorcycle indeed. LOL You definitely got the better end of the deal! Thanks for sharing this DARLING layout of your little girl - she's adorable!
The story is great! Sounds like something my husband would say. She's adorable. The layout is very pretty. TFS
So darling Jen! Love your layout.. just like I always do!! The story of how Abby came to be is hilarious and she will no doubt love that one when she gets older!! Have a fanfreakintastic day!
I absolutely love your simple, fun adorable layouts. Your work is great inspiration to me!! Lovely story behind the picture!!
What a cool story maybe I should try negotiating with my husband for another darling baby - we only have one and he is quite insistent that one is enough. Your layout is darling!
Well she totally looks yummier than a cupcake to me! Great story! My DH said only one kid! He already had 2! Well TEN years later I got my second baby! We couldn't be happier. I am so NOT telling him about the pool table! LOL
ADORABLE :)
What a sweet story about your youngest, and an adorable layout to go with it!
That is a hilarious story. And I bet, in all reality, your hubby would rather have the daughter than either a pool table OR a motorcycle!
Super cute girl! Love the brown and pink colors.
Beautiful Story you shared today. I am blessed with one child. That was all that was meant for us. Your layout is so cute!! Love that cupcake stamp. One of my fav Unity stamps!!
