Indulge me

Indulge me in pictures of my baby swinging, dirty summer feet and all.

I am sitting here appreciating the beautiful summer weather and so happy that it is not February. Happy to watch my children joyfully play outside as long as I will let them without coats, gloves, hats, etc. Thank goodness for warm weather!

It might look like he has some product in his hair, but he doesn't.  He had just recently dumped juice on his head, or Lilly dumped it on his head, I can't get a straight answer out of either of them.

Here Lilly gets caught sucking her thumb. You might recall my thumb sucking post.  No doubt she will be angry about this when she is a teenager.

Jack was laughing away as he tried to balance on the swing.  Jim caught him a few times falling off the swing.

Summer Happenings

On Wednesday the ice cream truck came right to our front yard. It was very exciting for Lilly (and myself).  Jack didn't quite get it until we pulled out the Popsicle, then he was excited too.  They sat on the porch licking every last drop of Popsicle. (Lilly, in her PJs still sick.)

On Thursday we found this lone animal cracker that didn't have a chance against the ants on our porch.

Today Jack confiscated the i-pad and watched General Conference. Such righteousness!

As soon as Lilly woke up this morning she pulled out a basket, made some sandwiches, packed some juice boxes, and announced that we were going on a picnic for breakfast.  Since she had made the preparations I did not argue.  We sat outside and enjoyed a wonderful picnic for almost two hours.  It was so enjoyable that no one thought to get a camera to capture the moments.  Jack just sat in my lap while Lilly and I guessed what color car might drive by next.  Perfect summer morning.

Lunch on the porch with Jack

Baby Egg - Take 2

Sick

In case you're wondering (like my mom) why I have so much free time lately to be crafting and blogging, it's because we are all home sick with a horrible cold.  The children and I did not leave the house today until after 5pm.

With that said; here is my final blog/craft for the day. I am now caught up on all my projects and events (until I finish the next baby egg).

I made these little baby uggs for a sweet friend who just had a baby girl.  I was told in no uncertain terms by a 16 year old that ONLY girls can wear uggs.  I wasn't really confused on that issue, but I am glad it has been clarified.

Baby Egg

I crocheted my first baby egg with some leftover chunky yarn.   It needs to be deeper, but I ran out of yarn.  I am going to buy some yarn and a bigger hook to make this little baby egg again.  I literally stole my friends baby just to see if I could stuff him into the egg. We didn't even bother with wardrobe changes or lighting. I am that impatient. It would have been a lot cuter to have a naked baby, but they were on their way to the doctor,  maybe next time.

thanks again to baby theo for letting me stuff him into the egg.

Back in the groove

After a few months off, I am back in the crafting groove. I crocheted a little baby hat and some booties for  baby Theo.

  Over the weekend I also made a little baby egg.  Later this week we are going to see if we can't stuff baby Theo into the egg and get some cute pictures. 

Isn't Theo adorable?
