We had our first fire in our new fireplace last night. Jay was so excited to light it and it only took an entire cardboard box to get it going! We sat on the floor in front of the fire and enjoyed the heat. Jay finished reading Winnie the Pooh to Ian and they shared a cup of hot chocolate, sounds nice doesn’t it? It was, then we all fell asleep… Jay and I both woke up around 12am and Ian was asleep on the floor too.

I haven’t posted in a while. So I’m just going to post a bunch at once. We’ve had great weather here, low 42 and high in the 6o’s I think. Anyway, Fall is finally here and it feels awesome. We’ve been roasting marshmellows over around a fire the past two nights. The boys were really cute eating all the marshmellows and chocolate. We have these mini-lanterns they like to carry in the dark out to the fire, they are really cute doing that too! There isn’t much they do that isn’t cute, well, I guess the whinning isn’t really that cute! Anyway, here are a few pictures of the boys dancing and wearing hats. When I’m getting ready in the morning, I turn on the music and they run around my room with these old hats dancing and laughing.

Well, I made something for myself. Finally!! It’s a cute duffel bag-style purse out of a quilted suede-like material with a houndstooth patterned lining. It has a zipper closure and I even added a little pocket to the inside.

I have been making baby slings for the past year now as gifts, as well as selling a few. I have had many people request information, so I’m posting my lastest sling and now diaper bag ensamble. If you would like more information please add a comment. I plan on having a website in the near future with all my creations for sale. Keep checking this blog for updated creations and I’ll post the website as soon as it’s ready!

Here is a picture of my boys doing their “school lesson”. We talked about David and Goliath and Ian was working on gluing cotton balls on paper for sheep and Sean was coloring and playing with sissors, yes I said sissors, safe ones I assure you. ttfn

While sitting outside with my two boys, Ian 2-1/2 and Sean 14 months, I notice them on top of a plastic slide/house holding sticks high in the air. Ian is singing “Yo, ho, ho a pirate’s life for me” while Sean hums along, waving his stick above his head, mimicking older brother’s every move.
There are sticks everywhere! We have lots of them, they are guns, swords, spears, weed wackerers (as Ian calls them), shovels, planes and so on. On a typical day, we have a large collection of sticks outside on the porch waiting for a little boy to pick them up and bring them back to life.
Did I mention that Ian is a naked pirate? Yes, he is going bare bottom around the house and outside to help promote proper use of the plumbing fixture we call a potty! This technique seems to be working. Progress has been made with little effort and a few accidents. Oh, what a great day it will be when we no longer have to change an almost 3 year olds dirty, dirty diaper!
