So ready!

So ready for the weather required to do this. So, so ready!

Breakfast with the boys

We've decided we don't need high chairs for Cheerios.

Sewing Weekend

I spent most of yesterday at the sewing machine, and it was so good for the soul. But I spent enough time there, that S started calling me Cinderella. I had bought some material on Friday, and I was itching to get at making something.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 love to empty out my apron cabinet - yes, I have an entire apron cabinet because I'm slightly obsessed, don't judge - and wear them around the house. So, I thought it was time to make them their own pint size models. I found some adorable robot material that I thought would be just perfect for two mini tool/craft aprons. They even have individual crayon/tool holders in the pockets. I can't wait until they're old enough to put them to use beyond just wearing them around the house.

And a little loin cloth apron modeling for your viewing pleasure.

My next project was some new pants for the Things. I love reading this blog and all the craftiness she comes up with , and each year she celebrates the Boy for a month. Perfect for my house!! When I saw the pants, I knew my boys needed some, so I got to work. I loved her seersucker pants, and went for a similar look with simple striped shirting material. I think they'll make their debut at church next week.

No excuses

There are no excuses for the lack of posts. And at this point, no one is reading, so it's really just for my own desire to have parts of our life documented. I wish I could say I'll be better at posting, but then I remember I have two 18 month olds who demand much of my time. So, we'll see.

Much of the reason I haven't been blogging is the lack of feeling creative. Maybe it's the weather - think lots of snow and cold, maybe it's the envy when I look at other mama's blogs and see all of the fabulous things they're doing with their kiddos, or maybe it's just lack of motivation. But either way, blogging has seemed a little dreary lately.

It might even make me a little cranky like two little things I know. It was a pacifier/lovey kind of day after an early morning of crying and moaning.

Thing 1 has a rhino for his lovey and assumes he can only hold it if he also has his pacifier. Which is pretty funny since he went through a phase for about 4 months where he wouldn't even take a pacifier.

Thing 2 has a sleepsack for his lovey. Their Aunt Christi made them sleepsacks when they were born. But when they grew out of them, Thing 2 became very attached to his and now sleeps with them. He'll find the arms and pull them up to his nose to snuggle; and the weird thing is this is exactly what big brother did/does (don't tell him I told you) with his blankie.

His newest trick is to slip his hands into the pockets on the arms that were to fold over and cover their hands when they were babies. It's quite the picture when he has both hands tucked in with the sleepsack over his nose staring into space.
