A craft that you can eat!

I know this is not what I normally show you pictures of, but we sure enjoyed making them. I helped with a wedding cake yesterday. DS really wanted to make a cake too. So, today we made a little trip to the grocery store.

He licked the beaters. Don't worry, it's not cake batter, just icing.Here's our finished product

We had a little batter leftover, so we made these petit flours.

What Happened to July?

Where did my month go? I turned 31 this July! For my birthday, my wonderful husband surprised me with a professional massage. Wow! That was nice. I also got a hair cut.

Greg impressed me this month with his building skills. He created a 17-block-tall tower! Just look at my little architect. He also started learning how to use the potty. Yay!

With a lot of hard work and support from my ladies at church and online, I've lost about 10 pounds. I'll be losing more weight soon. Tomorrow I get my second gum graft. Ouch!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Greg decided to use my orange yarn to make a spider web yesterday. When he was done building the web he sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" with actions all by himself! It was so cute. I'm thankful I can be home with him so I don't miss things like this.

A Day At Home

We've had a busy week, so yesterday we decided to stay at home all day. I tried to take pictures of all the things we did to keep ourselves busy. I didn't get a picture of some of our fun because I was just too busy playing too. We started our day with some personal grooming.

After breakfast, we turned some yarn hanks into skeins. With a lot of help from me, Greg was able to work the ball winder.

We did some crafting. Greg was sewing while I was knitting.

We worked on our computers.

We finger painted with shaving cream.

And of course, we did some cooking.


What a busy day!

Happy Belated Mother's Day to me!

Guess what I got in the mail today... A yarn ball winder and a swift! Yay for me! The swift didn't even come with directions but I was able to set it up and use it. It was so easy to use. Both came from Joanns.com. I got the Royal winder and the small umbrella swift.

Earth Day!

We've been under the weather this week. I feel like I've dropped off the face of humanity! My son isn't sleeping well. He hasn't been since Good Friday. By now we're all exhausted and on the verge of illness. We had a quiet, at-home Earth Day celebration. We mowed the lawn with the reel lawn mower and got a great workout. We took a little walk around the neighborhood. Here's a great pic of my little son experimenting with dandelions. I'm sure all the neighbors appreciated him spreading the seeds everywhere!

The Big Day!

Wow, what a busy day we have today! Today is the first day that 'the girls' are exercising at the church. It's also the last day of my son's 'Story Time' program at the library. We will also have our second visit with our Parents As Teachers coach. She comes to our house to teach some new games to play. My house is a mess! Today is also the day I go live as a guest with The Chain Gang on Hyena Cart. Here's the link if you want to check it out http://hyenacart.com/TheChainGang/ I'm excited and nervous!
