Learning to Knit...Boy Style

Ever since I purchased Lily's adorable pumpkin hat and sweater, I've been searching and found out how many adorable hats that are out there for kids. Especially, little girls. I found so many cute things on etsy.com.

This created a desire to learn to knit and crochet. My grandma taught me the basics but this had been many years ago. So after searching the Internet and purchasing a DVD, I'm understanding the basics and actually knitting.

Will has been watching me with great interest and told me he wanted to learn too. Of course whatever Will does, Hayden must do it too.

While we were practicing along with the DVD you can see what Hayden was up to. He was getting into everything and being silly. Before it was all done and over, he was in time-out in his room. I never knew knitting was so interesting for boys!!

Home Ec Project II

Here's a picture of Will's second project in Home Ec. This pumpkin is so cute!! The green leaves and brown stem are made out of felt and he sewed strips of fabric together to make the pumpkin. It's super soft as the inside is polyester fluff. He did a great job on it.

I love seeing items around the house made by the kids. It's just a wonderful reminder that I'm part of a family.

Hello Kitty PJ's

Hayden got my Hello Kitty out and wanted to put pajamas on her too. He said she was sleepy and needed a nap. He didn't put her in his bed but in my bed for me. Ha-Ha!!

A Day in the Life of Hayden and Lily

Hi Mommy, I love playing with my toys.

This elephant rattle is one of my favorites. His nose and ears are fun to chew on.

I think I hear something...what can it be??

Oh no, it's Hayden. I hope he doesn't remember that this used to be his toy. Oh my...I don't want to share.

Don't worry mommy. It's Fritz the dog to the rescue. I'll keep these little ones in line.

I'll hide the elephant and chew on this toy. Maybe Hayden won't see it.

I see him coming. I'll just act calm and get this toy real wet and slobbery. He doesn't like spit so he'll leave quickly...Hee-Hee!!

Hi Mommy. What are you and Lily doing?

(Hayden)- I'll smile real big for mommy and then I'll check out what Lily has. Maybe something I can take. (Lily) - Ya!! So far my plan is working. He doesn't see the elephant yet.

Something is going on here but not sure what it is. I'll just let mommy take pictures of me in my new pajamas. My slippers came from FaMor and FaFa. I look good!!

So it goes in the life of Hayden and Lily.

Exersaucer Part II

Ok...I'm sure you're thinking "what's with more pictures of Lily in the exersaucer" but this time check out her little feet. She has two different sleepers with cute faces on the feet. These are the bunnies and are my favorite. Plus on the front of this sleeper it says I *heart* mommy. Don't feel bad for Anders though, she has another one that says I *heart* daddy that he picked out for her himself.

I was making waffels and those little bunny feet were moving non-stop. It just cracked me up watching her. It literally reminded me of real bunnies hopping around. She's such a cutie pie!!

Exersaucer

Here's one of Lily's favorite things to do.

While sitting there she squeals, giggles, yells, and tries to chew on everything within her reach. Also, those little legs move non-stop. It's fun to watch her playing in this.

Socks

Lily loves to pull her socks off and when she pulls them off she tosses them around and sucks on them. I'll put her socks on and within minutes the toes are pulled up and it looks like she's wearing flippers.

At least when the socks come off I get to see those adorable little feet. Aren't baby feet just the cutest?
