Florida here we come






We will be spending the holiday in Florida this year with Rob's mom and step dad. We all know how Savannah is a "porker". Not only has she outgrown her 3-6 month clothes but she doesn't have any clothes to wear in Florida. At first I was ok with her just wearing onsies but I like her to look cute, so last night I started making her some. I found a few patterns for free on line 2 came out ok and 1 just was a no go. It said for 6-9 months but it wouldn't even fit over her shoulders. So if anyone knows of a baby girl do during summer months I have a really cute shirt, bloomers set. So today I went and bought a pattern and decided I should do 6-9 months and now these ones look hug but she can still wear them.

Weazy



On Sunday Weazy came over for dinner and to play with the kids. Unfortunately Austin was in no mood. But what was nice for a change Savannah let Weazy hold her without crying. I think she really enjoyed it. If Savannah gets any bigger I am not sure Weazy will be able to hold her!!

I love you

So lately Austin has been walking around and busting out with "I love you". He will be playing and doing his own thing and then out of the blue he says "Hey mom, I love you" But he doesn't stop there he goes on to say..."and daddy and Savannah and my big sissy too." I think it is so cute! I just love it when he says it for no reason.

Kitchen


This is what I started with, he is helping with his own present and doesn't even know it.

Almost done... I need to put the faucet on, the dishwasher door, and Daddy is going to make the counter in the middle a little smaller.Align Center
The work in progress
It's a good thing Austin doesn't understand completely about Christmas otherwise I would not be able to post these projects like I do. I just get so excited about them I feel the need to share. I had posted that 2 projects were taking over me. Well the one is done...the table playhouse and the other one is under way and almost done. I am doing most of the work myself, Rob cut the hole for the sink and will be cutting down the middle a little I didn't realize it was so long. I have added a place for him to write his menu, a towel bar on the other side of the sink, there is a stove with nobs and a dishwasher and I am putting storage in the middle once it is cut down. I hope he likes it.

addiction

This was a mens shirt made to fit Austin, then added the tie
(he say's he doesn't like it)
I have always loved crafting, I usually go in spurts though. I have officially become addicted searching on the internet everyday for new things to make. I have so much I want to make my head is spinning and I don't know what to do first. Most of everything is for the kids. I am not so sure that the kids will love what I make or be happy that I must try to make everything before I buy it. Today I even had my first trip to second hand shops, not that I am against them or anything. I just like knowing I can get what I came in for without having to go to many different shops. I ended up getting some Christmas gifts for Austin that were on his list.

Austin's 1st craft


Savannah's Christmas present from Austin

paint with a sponge went much better and he had more fun with it

The finished product if you look hard you can see the tie design. We have plans for this shirt though...keep watching

Austin hard at work
Today was Austin's first time doing crafts with mommy. We tried 2 shirts one for Austin and one for Savannah. The first shirt he got a little spray happy and it didn't come out. The next shirt we just used regular paint and it worked great. He made his first Christmas present. It was fun for me to do crafts with him. Thanks Grampy for the shirt!
