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!

Daddy's Birthday

Christmas is comming

grill for cooking

carrots he can pick and replant

apples for picking

flowers for picking, he can even put mail through the mail box

Christmas is on my mind. For those of you that really know me know I am done by Thanksgiving. Which will not happen this year. We are not going to even know what Valerie wants until Thanksgiving. But I hope to have Austin and Savannah done by next week. I have decided to do a lot of homemade gifts this year and 2 projects have over taken me. Both because I am excited about them and nervous I can't complete them. However I am happy to say that I pretty much got one done last night. Table club house. I hope Austin likes it. It is the biggest task I have taken on for sewing. I just need to make the corn for the husk and hamburger and hot dogs for the grill. It is not perfect but its ok for Austin.

apple sauce

Yesterday when I was cleaning up the kitchen I noticed we had way to many apples. I had bought some and then Weazy had given us some as well. So I thought Austin and I would make apple sauce he was more into than I thought he would be. It tasted pretty good but Austin still didn't want to eat it. We have video of him but I couldn't get it to upload. Kinda bumbed it was cute.

happy birthday daddy

Saturday was Robs birthday. He didn't get to do much celebrating because I worked and he was on kid duty. Austin couldn't wait to tell him what his surprise was and after Austin told him his present he had to hide it and make Rob find it, he even told him what the card said before he opened it. Rob was pretty excited with the gift cards and money he got as gifts he was able to get a camcorder.

cape

Today Austin came up to me and asked me to make him a cap!! I was pretty proud and excited to make something for him that he wanted, and excited that he knew he could ask me to make him something.

The black hat in the picture I made him as well.

Ni Hao, Kai-Lan

If you click you will see a big smile on her face

Austin has what he calls his shows. At night when it is time to calm down he watch some Nick Jr previously nogin. One of his favorite shows is Ni Hao, Kai-Lan a chinese cartoon. We don't mind him watching this channel because it is all educational. We shall see if he starts picking up the language. Last night while I was making dinner we put Savannah in her jumper and she was attached to the show. They were zoned out and quite.
