Potty Prizes

Two excited kids who earned rewards recently.

Home Preschool: Circle Theme

We made treat necklaces with circle treats and cereal for our Circle Theme home preschool. 2 years ago.

Minnie Mouse Dress

The Minnie Mouse dress is the second in what I hope will be a collection of princess peasant dresses for Sienna. The Rapunzel one was knit and didn't turn out nearly as well, so I've put off the knit Briar Rose one I bought material for. But the Minnie one turned out perfectly.

I bought a new pattern for this, in a larger size, otherwise I would have used my standby (Simplicity 5695).

This is Simplicity 2377. It's basically exactly the same.

And why make one when you can make two for twice the price? I sold the other to a friend.

My kid is adorable.

Here's the knit Rapunzel dress.

I also made a couple sparkly Elsa capes. I basically hemmed a rectangle of fabric and put some FOE at the neck.

Gale Center Museum

Here's another really old post that never got published.  The Gale Center museum is still around and still free and still recommended.

Daddy of 3 1/2

I started this blog post in April (these pictures were taken the weekend Maggie was baptized, when Grandma and Aunt Jamie were visiting) and I was newly pregnant and verrrrry sick.  Just wanted to show my hubby taking on all the kids so I could throw up on the side of the road as I pleased.

Disney Ride Photos

Some random shots John took of Disney ride photos.

Mornings with Nen

I get lots of one on one time with this cutie now that the kids are back in school.  This morning, she picked out her "corn" skirt to wear. I had a doctor appointment, so she went to a friend's house, with her taxi and milk cup in tow.

Playing "hide the carrot in the Easter egg."

She got out her penguin binoculars and wanted to look for animals.  We found some. I'm not sure she even knew we had all these little animal figures. We had a great time spying them out and naming each one.  She particularly likes zebras, horses, and tigers.

I blew up the kiddie pool for her to play in. Mostly for her stuffed animals to play in. I'm tired to having to put them back on the shelf every time she goes to sleep (because the room must be completely spotless, or she won't go to bed.)  So I threw them all in the pool and threw it in the hallway at naptime.  Anyway, in the meantime, they are riding "teacups."

She was throwing stuffed animals at me and I got her to throw them at the chair instead. She is counting "1, 2, 7". And then got distracted by her car.

Naptime. She wears me out, but I love her anyway.
