Feeling a little crafty

Yesterday I was feeling a little crafty. Which basically
means that I ignored my housework and my children to
do some sewin'. My friend had a link to a cute crafty blog.
I stole it and have been scheming up projects ever since.

Here is my finished...uh thing. It actually was really simple
to create. I decided that I'm going to keep it. I may even
use it tonight when I go on my girls' night out date. Woo hoo!

Snowless = Creative

I can't even tell you how disappointed my kids have
been about not getting any snow.

But hey, who needs snow when you've got a plateful
of mashed potatoes?! Behold our wintery friend.

My Baby the Monkey

Madeline has taken greatly to climbing. She terrifies me
to say the least. Bathroom sink, top dresser drawers, table.
She may have short person syndrome. Maybe climbing
gives her some sort of power. I don't know! I've been short
all my life and have always been afraid of heights. I guess
she's just a monkey that enjoys watching her mom have
daily heart attacks.

Large Car for a Large Fam

Since we're officially going to be in the ginormous family 

category James and I decided to finalize it by purchasing 

this little....I mean large vehicle. James, being his anti social

self, even let me wear the pants and haggle for it. I've decided

after careful evaluation of the past two days that I HATE 

buying cars!!! All the run around crap that I had to go through

was not a choice experience. I do feel like I got an alright deal 

on the thing but I was pretty much a basket case 2 days ago. 

Oh well, I'm glad to be done with the process and finally be 

able to enjoy the fruits of my labors....if you will. 

It's a Suburban in case you were wondering.
