I'm Crafting!

I know it's been a while since I've done anything crafty. It's hard when you go from all this time not spent in the car while you're staying home with the kids, to spending an hour in the car going to work for 9 hours. And when you have to be up at 5:15 am, it makes those evening hours even shorter, too.

Soon (meaning after my lazy butt gets up to do laundry) I'll have a picture of a quick refurbish job I did on an old shirt I loved but didn't grow in size like I did.

But for today, who can guess what this picture shows? Besides the obvious of a blue disc and a silver disc in my tiny baby hand? Whatever will I be making from these? And why?

Dexter Duck

This week is B's turn to bring home Dexter Duck. He comes in his own bag with a few books. And the kids get to take him with them everywhere they go over the weekend, taking pictures along the way. Then on Sunday night, the pictures get printed and a story is written, and the whole class gets to hear the adventure on Monday.

We took Dexter to dinner last night. B found his first real crush (a cute girl there for a Father/Daughter dinner party), and promptly forgot where he left Dexter. T found him under a coat and tucked him in next to him.

Then he snuck out for a quick photo op with Ms. E. B was looking the other direction, worried about telling his teacher that he'd managed to lose the class duck in a matter of hours.

HEY! Where'd you find him! No fair!

Today we took the kids on more errands, but included a trip to the jumpy play place palace. Yeah...that's what I'm gonna call it. Dexter spent most of his time on the couch with T while the kids played and I chased Baby D around. But he did get to play for a minute and enjoy a ride down the slide.

 Finally, before we headed home for the night, Dexter took a ride with Uncle Drew. E dug up quarters from the yard in the back.

My Rings Are HERE!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I made mini cupcakes for my new team at work. They were yummy :)


I had a horrible night with a fussy baby that wouldn't sleep more than about 20 minutes at a time. And then I had to get up at 5:15 to shower before getting the kids up for the bus. Bleh. BUUUUUUT, T was the wonderfullest husband ever and left me a white rose and a white lipstick rose at the edge of my bag and a card so perfect I cried. A lot. :) So I left him his sappy card and a nice big cupcake.


How did you celebrate? Do you like to celebrate? 


My keyboard got soda spilled on it by an overzealous baby, so my keys stick. Boo.
