Crochet shorties

As promised, a pic of my crochet shorties! Normally I dont like the look of crochet items, but this turned out REALLY cute! And they are great for night and naptime diapering :) Super soft too, I've had this yarn for a while and I didnt know what to do with it!
I will have to make a couple more..and maybe some soakers when we get pregnant for a new babe!
Not TOO shabby for my 2nd crocheting project :)



I also made 31 new cloth wipes :) They are flannel/sherpa and we really needed some more! If you havent tried cloth wipes, you have no idea what you are missing! When we were in Houston I used disposable wipes for the first time in almost over a year and it was DREADFUL. Takes 3 or more wipes to clean up a poo where ONE wipe gets it done easy w/ cloth! Plus they are so much thicker than disposable wipes. They actually sell them at BRU too! I saw them today when I was there picking up FINALLY a gummy cover to go on the rail of L's crib. He's like a flippin beaver, I swear he was going to build a dam or something w/ his crib rail!
Anyhow here are the wipes!




And the teal yarn I dyed, starting to knit up...they are actually finished now, just finished them tonight while watching the Biggest loser :)


Pics tomorrow of these finished and hopefully the other pair I started a few weeks ago finally finished!

A fun day outside :)

Since we've been working on the backyard a bit, and it's getting grass b/c DH is watering it finally, we went outside to play the other evening! The boys had a blast running around, I think I will do this more often now that it's still pretty cool outside. We are going to go get a water table for them tomorrow and maybe some other things! They both love the pirate ship and kept going in and out of it, Landon loves the slides now suddenly but cant quite figure out how to crawl up onto the slide himself :)
Andrew likes to dig and look for bugs he's scared of LOL

And you know you have my song I added stuck in your head now!



Pirate ship fun!


Definitely up to something....



PROOF they love each other!


I cant even believe I got them to sit/pose for me!

In my crafting news, I finished a pair of crochet shorts this week I will take a pic of. Got some great yarn in the mail!

Arent these yummy?
These will be shorts


This will get some green trim and will be pants for fall/winter




This is getting knit as we speak, some yarn I dyed last week


I ordered a BUNCH of solid yarn this week also from www.yarn.com. The Cascade 220 solids were on super sale!

A friend of mine is getting some striped shorts to match this shirt

And here is the yarn I chose to go with it!




Patriotic stripes for Landon:



Goldfish shorties

Landon's new haircut

Ok I just hit enter and posted NOTHING lol
Landon FINALLY got a haircut the other day--looks like a hack job as usual for $19 WOOHOO. I need to start shaving it, but I cannot bring myself to do it to his pretty hair! Where can i get a decent trimmed up haircut? GEESH


He is too cool to smile



Andrew got these boden shorts in the mail the other day, had to show them off I LOVE them!


And an accidental Gap/Boden combo I love!--he's thrilled, can you tell?



These are the shorts I made and they fit Andrew--they are sort of huge on Landon but not as big as I thought! YAY!

Because it makes me laugh

Seriously I must be easily amused b/c this makes me laugh ALL the time!

Easter

Sucked

It's not fair, I have no family left. It's a super lonely feeling. No parents, no family here to share my boys with. Oh the pity party I could throw for myself. Poor me, wah wah, Boo hooo.

I didnt even feel like getting out of bed, but I did and we didnt go to church, but we DID get dressed up and go to IHOP LOL I see an easter tradition in the making! :) Kids didnt even get to hunt Easter eggs this year b/c I'm a sucky mom and it was raining.
We did manage to last min shop for easter baskets on Sat though YAY


THE LOOT:

The biggest hits for Andrew were his puzzles and a stupid $2 flashlight LOL
L's favs were this wooden car I found at Target and a cell phone, oh and his Elmo ball! He runs all over the place "BAA BAA" which I assume is BALL LOL


Throwing toys on the floor as he pulled them out


Andrew being a goofy loon ball




Here's a bag I'm crocheting. I took up crochet last week, decided to make a bag. Turned out ok I think!


And this is about to be some shorts for Landon. I plan on getting about 4-5 more pair done SOON he needs more!

A day out with Thomas

Trying to get back to blogging. As all of you probably already know, my dad passed away last Tues morning and it's been really rough on all of us but I'm trying to move forward. Still to touchy to talk/post about it and what a great father he was but he was, and I feel like a piece of me will forever be missing :(

ANYHOW
Sunday we went to go see Thomas! Andrew had a great time even though it was a TERRIBLE day. It was super sunny/ flipping cold an windy UGH. We were all pretty miserable from it, even L and I got sunburned! We learned our lesson though, go on the FIRST weekend they are here and NOT mid day!

Here's some pics!





A and L playing


Poor kid in the sun LOL


Daddy and L


Someone is loooooooking at me!
