</div>
My kids are always drawing/coloring pictures for Mike and me. Don't get me wrong, I love that they are creative and love art! We just don't have anywhere to display all of their wonderful creations... until now!<br />
<br />
All you need is a yard stick, some clothespins, and a hot glue gun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0u0PU6KOeExvPztaPsOmm70swpesC25HpwBPljSQ4i_w1nI-hxdtsmz8IPvmZYzfNDfgZNsCSzyCZ4woYU8SRDPjVll-3rfCAV5SwGxFJSRQOyoNBI9wRsd1KG-Ymvocl-TUKmDmyJBXs/s1600/IMG_7413.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0u0PU6KOeExvPztaPsOmm70swpesC25HpwBPljSQ4i_w1nI-hxdtsmz8IPvmZYzfNDfgZNsCSzyCZ4woYU8SRDPjVll-3rfCAV5SwGxFJSRQOyoNBI9wRsd1KG-Ymvocl-TUKmDmyJBXs/s1600/IMG_7413.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
First, I evenly spaced out the clothespins and then glued them to the yardstick!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Next, I hung the yardstick in the hallway.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_bl2yaqC5U902SXvRVJ21bBhD_fTDN-AApH4wV-9QVwIQjeNw399lS_TUWxR_gCDZm-X-jV2jqO4wXan9d3-TfyOqWCLSCW1PznV8fhm8I2MiAUlPReTOtcANo4TQ7wgAoTrCNDNw43c/s1600/IMG_7418.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_bl2yaqC5U902SXvRVJ21bBhD_fTDN-AApH4wV-9QVwIQjeNw399lS_TUWxR_gCDZm-X-jV2jqO4wXan9d3-TfyOqWCLSCW1PznV8fhm8I2MiAUlPReTOtcANo4TQ7wgAoTrCNDNw43c/s1600/IMG_7418.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I added some vinyl lettering (from Etsy seller, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ModernVector">ModernVector</a>) and finally, let the girls fill the clips with their pictures!<br />
<br />

I love that they can change the pictures out whenever they want. There are always new and wonderful pieces of art to look at when people come to our house!<br />

I'm tired of feeling sad for not blogging as much as I used to (well ain't that the understatement of the year). I'm also tired of posting about my lack of posting. So, I've decided to start over, if you will. No catch up, no apologies, no "here's what you missed" crap. I'm gonna start over like it was post number one! <br />
<br />
More than a few years ago, I started a Project Life album. Like many other ventures of mine, it fizzled out after a month or so. Instagram has made documenting life a LOT easier and well, more instant! (follow me @shannonmcclure09) I've decided to #projectlife2014 with the intention of creating an album at the end of the year (setting myself up for failure, surely.) <br />

We loved it! We used chocolate milk to make chocolate ice cream, and we are already planning on making vanilla later! It tasted just like homemade ice cream but took only about 10 minutes. No I know why people rush out to buy milk when there is going to be a snow storm :-)<br />

</div>
So, I had a mole on my face. It didn't really bother me all that much, so I never did anything about it. Over the summer, it had started to hurt a little. When I would wash my face or put makeup on, it would sting a little when I rubbed across it. I kept telling myself that I was going to make an appointment and have it removed. Finally, this fall, I called the doctor and made an appointment. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I saw the doctor, he immediately said that he was going to refer me to a plastic surgeon because it was on my face. After looking at it more and more, the doctor started to become a little concerned because it had grown significantly in the last two years. He said the shape and color looked fine so he wasn't concerned about cancer, he just thought it be best to get it off. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some close-up pics from the past few years. You can barely see it right there by my nose in the first couple.</div>

I have a tiny pink spot that should heel just fine. I go back to the doc in 10 weeks for a follow-up. He did tell me though that this disease/virus/whatever it is (I will ask again when I go back in 10 weeks... was a little freaked out at the time) is in my body and could appear other places. So far, I haven't noticed any "moles" growing other places, but you better believe I'm checking!! Maybe I will just let the next one grow...</div>

I feel so sad about the fact that it has been a MONTH since I blogged. I'm so far behind and honestly, I feel like I should just quit... I pretty much have. I want to get excited about it again! I want to WANT to blog. I want to have an experience and think, "I can't wait to blog about that!" How do I get back there? Do I even have ANY readers left? <br />
<br />
One thing I AM excited about is the premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire tonight at 8 p.m.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I won four tickets from a local radio station to see it at an IMAX theater! SO EXCITED! Maybe I'll blog about it?!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, follow me on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the exciting life of Shannon :-)<br />

The day had been a long time coming. Ever since the day that Jaden found out that kids lose teeth, she began wiggling and wiggling her tiny bottom teeth. She swore up and down that they were loose! She convinced herself that she could feel them moving, even when we couldn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, the day came. Jaden had her first official loose tooth! Every single day, she would tell me that it was getting looser. Every single day, she wiggled and wiggled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One evening, she went to dinner with Gramma J and Grampa Max. She bit down on her food and YOWZA! The tooth was coming out! It was just hanging there! Eventually, it popped out... and bled... J screamed. The entire restaurant knew that she was losing her first tooth. The servers were very nice and brought napkins and water. They even gave the girls money to go play in the game room (in other words, they paid the screaming kid to leave!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jaden survived and was so excited to show us her toothless smile!</div>

Both girls cried when Shane had to leave that day because they just wanted him to stay longer! It broke their heart (and his) to have him go. Taylor had a hard time that night and into the next day. She just missed Shane-O so much. After talking with Shane the next day and telling him the story, we decided to both sign up for Skype and let the girls give him a call!</div>

These are my favorite animals at the zoo. They are the red pandas. I felt so bad for these little cuties because shortly before, they had a baby and it didn't survive :-( Apparently is is rare for red panda babies to survive. That is why they are so endangered. They are SO cute though! </div>

Funny story about this croc... The zoo sometimes gets animals that have been rescued. More often than not, people think they can have these animals as pets in their homes. When they change their mind, the zoo sometimes takes them. Well, this alligator used to be a drug guard. I heard that drug dealers had it in their house to guard their drugs and/or money from people trying to steal it. This guy is like 8 feet long!</div>

The zoo opened in April and we finally made it there for the first time in June :-) It was not busy at all! There was a chance of rain and it had already been raining all week. We love days like that. Having a membership, we can go for as long as we want. If we only get to stay for a little bit, that's ok because we can go back anytime we want to!</div>

Jaden goes to the largest elementary school in our district. Because of the number of students, they do not do a school carnival. Instead, they have an end of the year celebration! There are lots of blow-up slides, obstacle courses, and bouncy houses for the kids. They even had a local radio station show up to provide music and food! Lincoln Elementary has a huge grassy lot, so there was plenty of room for kids to run!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, Jaden braved the Titanic slide. She had to crawl up the middle (see where it says "First Class" there by the guy in green?) and then choose a side to slide down. It is a super tall slide! Taylor decided to keep place in line for the bouncy house instead :-)</div>

A while back, we were having problems with Taylor eating her lunch at daycare. For whatever reason, she just refused to eat. When we found out about this, we were shocked because at home, she ate everything! We talked to her each day and asked what she ate. She always answered either, "nothing," or, "bread." Our babysitter said that it had started to become somewhat of a game to Taylor. All of the other kids would ask her immediately when they sat down for lunch, "Are you going to eat today, Taylor?" The babysitter said that it always seemed like Taylor wanted to eat, but she wouldn't. I started to really get concerned. We tried praising her when she did eat. We tried not making a big deal about it when she didn't eat. We tried having the babysitter tell the kids not to say anything about it. Nothing worked.</div>

One day, Taylor spotted a baby at Target that she really wanted! This baby's tongue would come out and actually lick her ice cream cone! Taylor thought it was the most awesome thing in the entire world and talked non-stop about it. Now, I'm not above bribery when it gets positive results. I had Jaden make a stair-step chart for Taylor. Each day that she would eat at least three things at lunch, she would get to move up a step. If she didn't eat, she had to move down a step. When she got to the top, she would get Ice Cream Baby! Well, did it work?</div>

I'm so excited to see what her artwork looks like this school year. In fact, yesterday she pulled her school folder out and asked me, "Do you know what's missing?" Um... no... She said that the other kids brought their art projects home but she didn't because it was hung up! Way to go, Jaden! </div>
