Rough life

Learning to move  can be rough.  It takes great stamina, physical strength and determination.  And then there's this other problem...

You can get seriously stuck

and all your mom does is go grab the camera

When all you really want is a little help here

making a super sad face eventually does the trick.

It's a party

A pacifier party that is

Sorry these pictures are really blurry, but basically this is where we go on the hunt for missing pacifiers, behind Charlie's crib, all cuddled up in the EXACT same little spot.   It doesn't matter that the kid rolls around all over the crib, the pacifiers always end up back here.  Some kind of party we obviously don't understand.

I make stuff

Yes, even with two babies I somehow find time to make stuff!  It's not always as efficient as I would like and projects that should take 2 hours sometimes take 2 weeks, but eventually I get some things done!  This last week I actually completed a lot of fun projects.  I have a few people who often ask what I am working on, so I will share with you what I've been up to.

Fourth of July/Summer Wreath - it wasn't exactly what I was originally planning, but I still like it!

Baby hair bands and barefoot sandals for a baby shower

 I am in love with baby barefoot sandals!  I am seriously (Really I am) opening up an etsy shop to sell them. I can't get enough of them on Adella's feet and every time she wears them we get so many compliments!

Baby blanket for my nephew that's on the way!  I did one of those faux chenille quilts. 

Bandana dresses for my nieces birthdays (one was just like 7 months late... whatever)

 And a bow tie onsie for my nephew with interchangeable bow ties!  This one was so fun, I think I need to make one for Charlie too.   Only, he still wears a bib all the time, so once we are over that it will be on my project list!

And I think that's most of it!  I have made head bands and sandals for Adella, but I never take pictures except for with her in them!  We are also in the process of redoing some of our living room decor (or lack thereof).  We needed new curtains anyway (hello, thermal lined ones please???).   So hopefully in another month or two we can share those projects!  Things sure go much slower these days, but it also makes it that much more of an accomplishment when we finish something!

Random Sunday Fun

Fourth of July!

I just realized I didn't post the babies 4th of July pictures.  It was a pretty low key 4th, Adam had the day off so we decided to go to lunch - and take the babies!  I know adventurous right?  We figured going to lunch on a weekday would be the best option as there are fewer people and you don't have to wait for a table.  I am proud to say we all survived and I don't think we upset any of the other guests!  We went to Brazillion Bull which is one of those all you can eat Brazillion steak houses.  We like going for lunch because it's about half the price.  They only serve 6 meats so you aren't super overwhelmed.  Plus they were having a special to buy one get one free!  So our meal was less than $30 with tip!  Not too bad for some awesome steak and other meats!   We didn't get to watch fireworks.  That was sad because its the second year in a row we missed out (last year I was on bed rest over the fourth).  But I know in a few years we will get to enjoy it with Charlie and Adella and that will be even more fun!
