productive day

I got a lot of crafting done yesterday, normally I would just put this on my craft blog but I thought these were cute, and Austin helped me make them. He can't wait to eat off of them. We have to bake them today.

We are waiting for Valerie to come home for Easter when we can get an updated photo and she can help me with hers to add to the plate family.

Can you make me

Yesterday I took the kids to the salvation army in search of some good finds. At the register there was a glass case with a antique toy tractor inside. Austin was asking questions about it but never asked me to buy it for him. When we were all in the car driving home, Austin asked if I could make him a toy tractor? Of all the things he could have asked me to make...I tried to explain mommy could only make things out of fabric, that maybe I could find a pattern for a tractor softie. He was ok with this. It seems he has high expectations for mommy. We stopped at Michale's and I scored, In the $1.00 bin I found a wood tractor that you paint and put together. Even better he can help!

So instead of making him a tractor softie he got this...

Made out of a mens sweater found at Salvation Army for $3.00

Hair cut

Austin's hair has been getting out of control lately and I didn't know what to do with it. He didn't want it cut, but didn't want it combed either. His hair looks really nice when combed, but if it's not combed it looks really really bad! Tonight I finally put my foot down (against daddy's better judgment) and cut it. It is our summer staple...mo hawk. This is not a dramatic one, but if you look close you will see it. His hair even curls better now then before the cut. Now we wont need all his hair products, I swear he had more hair products than I have to keep it tame.

Roses

A few days after they were bought.

I got these flowers from daddy on Saint Patrick's day,( can you tell what is daddy's favorite holiday?)

And a few weeks ago Weezy got Granny flowers for her birthday from the kids. Each time they were given to Austin to give to the recipient. But when it was time to present the flowers to the person Austin got pretty upset and didn't want to let the flowers go. He thought they were for him. I was only allowed to have 1 flower the rest were his. Granny was able to take her's home but she had to give Austin a rose before she left.

Austin and the computer

We have a few computer games left over from when Valerie was younger, so we have started to let Austin play them.

He is now able to do the games all by himself. He can navigate through the main menu and find which part he wants to play. Daddy even taught him how to use the mouse on the lap top, which is a hard task for some adults.

To think that at the age of 3 Austin has started to learn how to use the computer.

Savannah...crawling

Savannah has been rocking on all fours for a while, maybe 2-3 weeks. A week ago she started to lunge forward. Yesterday she started to move both legs one at a time. She just doesn't seem comfortable moving the arms yet. I was just watching her and she looked like she was going to give it a try. So we shall see, but I think it's coming soon, real soon.

Watch now that I posted that she will stop all together.

Just wanted to say a quick happy Saint Patrick's day to everyone! Hope you all enjoyed. The kids had a blast today playing outside and enjoying the great weather.
