  • Before I was watching the little ones I managed to get a few fun things done on Sunday. For you Sue:

    To get your crafting mojo back! And I worked on a little scrapbook for my knitting:

    I finally used one of my little compliments albums Bj got for me from CHA last year (or two years ago?). I wanted to keep track of all the projects I have been doing.

    The title page.

    All the pages are pretty much the same. I used some of the new stash of Basic Grey Sue brought me, and the matching letter stickers, so so easy. I put all the projects in that I’ve done in the last six months or so. I was up again last night with the baby, so don’t expect much more creativity from me soon!

  • I’m watching Karsen and Hogan again, and Karsen is sick again, poor baby. She has this pathetic cough, but she’s still so smiley… that is until it’s the middle of the night and she starts wailing. This morning she woke me up at 2:30, coughing and crying. I picked her up, gave her some medicine, and then tried to put her back in her crib, but she just kept crying, and wanted her back patted. So I took her into my room (I’m staying in their parent’s room) and she was soothed by me constantly rubbing her back. Eventually she fell asleep and started moving around like she was possessed, so I tried to put miss kicks-a-lot back in her crib at 3:30, but she would have none of that. So I just gave up and let her sleep next to me on the king bed, scooting her over through out the early morning so she would stop jabbing me. I hope she feels better soon, though 100% is unlikely since she is teething everywhere. Oh well, at least Hogan is good for some laughs:

    I’m watching Karsen and Hogan again, and
    Isn’t he cute wheeling around this mini cart? That’s not the funny thing. The funny thing is what he told my mom and I at lunch:

    “My dad’s had a wedgie since he met my mom.”

    Oh. My. God. My mom and I were almost crying we were laughing so hard, like, what the heck right? Turns out Wedgie is his cat. LOL Ah kids, you just gotta love em.

  • It was a sunny Saturday today and Bj surprised me by taking me to the tulip fields in nearby Woodburn.

    It was windy but really really pretty. All those colors! I can’t wait until I have my own yard, I am going to plant it full of tulips in the fall, I mean what a great reward in the spring. And check this out:

    I don’t know how they were doing this will all the hella wind. It was also like a whose who of cameras, we saw some sick macro lenses, and huge digital backs, crazyness. Bj totally got me – a great surprise!
