Something Cuter to Look At

Sorry you had to look at my mug so long! Here, look at Lily instead.


She's so funny... this is how I found her today:


She wasn't complaining though. Not like the cart incident. She has been known to push that car or her little stroller up to the computer desk to try to climb up on the chair. Silly Girl has no fear!

I Love Photoshop

Wanna see what I can do?

Open each picture in it's own tab and click back and forth between them. I dare you.

Photoshop can make any picture look better!

I big-pink-puffy-heart Photoshop!

Bowling, Crafting and a Quiet House

What a combination.

Jacob left this morning. My house is quiet tonight.

I went bowling with some of the other FRG leaders in our BN last night... a team building exercise. We were all supposed to wear crazy hats and silly socks. See below:


Then we gave each other silly names on the scoreboard. Did you see my funky hat above? I got to be called Dora. ;)

And check out what Dora did:


I believe that is called a turkey! It was very exciting... I couldn't hardly believe it! And then this happened:

I can tell you right now, that was the best bowling game of my life. And I doubt I'll ever be able to repeat it.

In CraftyLand, I am going to a baby shower tomorrow. But I just learned about the shower yesterday, so I made this little critter this afternoon:

He's about eight inches long and as I was stuffing him I adding a few little jingle bells so he rattles sweetly. Lily gave him a test run for me and heartily approves.

And now that Lil is in her bigger car seat (did I tell you we got her a convertible car seat?) she gets irritated by the straps on her neck so I whipped out these velcroed strap covers this evening. I love being crafty. Recently Linda, dubbed me the Craft Maven and I have enthusiastically embraced the title. Though she's pretty darn crafty herself! Linda if you are out there... I'd like to commission a roll for my dpns.

Auntie Stevie

...is having a birthday today.

(Lil is seven months here.)

My girls are March Babies! :)

Happy Birthday Auntie Stevie!

Crafty Corner

Today in the crafty corner we have a lovely little crocheted bunny. In light of the fact that Easter is right around the corner.

The reality of it, is that I teach knitting once a week and there is a darling young lady (she's three) named Devlin who plays with Lily and doesn't complain one little bit that I am monopolizing her mom and older sister for an hour. So I made the bunny for Devlin as a thank you, you're-sweet-and-I-appreciate-you kind of gift.


I gave Devlin the bunny this afternoon at knitting.

I got a big hug!

I think she liked it. :)

Lily Antics

Lily and I went out to work on the BN volunteer gifts with some of the other FRG leaders today. I'm sure you will recognize our sweet friend Michaela. She and Lily are the best of friends... that is, until one has a toy the other wants.

My daughter is a bully. Here she is stealing the cart:


Thief.

Then she climbed into the cart... but couldn't get out. Then she got mad.

So she tried to use the chair next to her to get down... but had to stand on the very edge of the cart.

Hmmm, but what to do with the feet?

And then the evil mommy took pity on the poor darling child and stopped taking pictures to help her down.

And they all lived Happily Ever After. The End.

Rerun

Remember this picture?


I made the poor baby do the whole thing again!

Because I'm like that.

Have you ever seen her ears before? ...not sure I ever had either.

I really love my new camera!
