Rachel turns 3!

Ok, it's been a long time since I last wrote. I'm pretty bad at this blogging thing. Rachel just turned 3 yesterday. We had a little bowling party for her with cupcake decorated with Dora the Explorer face. It came out really good. I will get pics up later. Rachel was LOVING it! The bowling alley was busy and overloaded with back to back parties. It was pretty crazy but the kids had fun.

Logan also had his first official sleepover at a friends house last night. Of course, Sean and I were there until about 10 and know he was tired and ready for bed. No phone call to pick him up in the middle of the night. I'll see how it went when I pick him up later.

ACCCKKK!! Just realized that my computer's clock and my alarm clock said different times. Almost forgot about the time change.
Anyways, back to blogging....let's see...Rachel is registered for the 2 day preschool for next year and Logan is also set for Kindergarten too. Just have the Kindy placement testing over the summer. My little babies are growing up too fast!!

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone...does anyone actually read this? I sure don't write often. The kids have taken over my computer most of the time. I don't kick them off because they are playing educational games and LEARNING!! Christmas is almost here, and we have yet to send the gifts to family. Ooops, so they get to open more presents after.
We took our own holiday photos and took several of them and made them into Christmas cards. I think the pics turned out great! I don't think the 2 would have cooperated in a studio in front of a stranger.
The pic with Rach sticking out her tongue is my favorite! It totally captures Rachel's personality and Logan looks so cute.

I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and who knows when I'll write next. I'm such a bad blogger.

Lounging around

Rachel likes to unlock the door and sit out on the patio....all by herself. She's so quiet and stealthy about it that several times, I didn't even know she had gone outside. Luckily, she doesn't go past the rocks.

Not wanting to sleep

The other night, both kiddos didn't want to sleep, so we let them hang out on our bed watching a little video to calm them down. They ended up being silly and things turned into a photo shoot. Sorry the photos are all jumbled. I still haven't figured everything out on here. Can you see Rachel's hair is starting to grow longer??!! She still wants me to put her hair up ("pretty hair" is what she calls it), then ends up pulling them out before she gets to the end of the hallway.

Custom NB Shorties

A customer contacted me for 2 pairs of NB shorties. I forgot how tiny they are compared to DD's humongo night time woolies.

The pair on the left is peruvian yarn from itty bitty knitties and the right pair is BFL Retro colorway from Happy Cheeks Diapers.

I really need to remember my username and password to get on here. I ALWAYS have such a difficult time loggin on here to blog.
We had some major T storms today. It knocked out all power at around 9am and didn't come back on until about 3:30pm. 6 hours with no tv, movies, radio, stove, or...EEEKKK!!! internet and computer!!! I had been up since 4am, so it gave me a chance to cat nap with Rachel. Logan was VERY WELL BEHAVED too. Normally, he'll be constantly asking me things or to help him. But today, he hung out playing all on his own. and even gave me a kiss and pulled the blanket up to cover me. Such a sweetie!
Oh, yeah, Logan's all done preschool for the summer, so yesterday, we took our jet ski (semi-ours) out onto the Lake. I helped Sean unload it, since it was the first time, then drove arounnd the lake to the other side to a small beachy area. I thought it would take a while to get there, but it really wasn't too bad. It'll be quicker coming from home. We met up with Sean there and he gave each of the kiddos a ride. He said Rach LOVED it and all the splashing water. Logan kept telling Daddy it's too fast and to slow down. But, I think he still enjoyed it. After that, Sean took the jet ski to explore the rest of the lake while the kids and I hung out at the little beach. We had fun splashing in the water. Man, Rachel is a wild one! I wish I had the camera. Next time, I'll make sure I have it, now that I know where it is. I hope it doesn't get very crowded there once the public school lets out.

Un-forgetting the blog

Ok, so I kinda forgot about blogging. I was getting bogged down trying to keep up with 'work', taking care of my kids, housework, and most importantly....playing and having fun with my kids. Since the weather has turned warmer, I have been trying to take them outside as much as possible, which means, I can't sit in front of the computer or knit or do any work. Hopefully, I will be able to start blogging and doing more work to help pay for our drive/trip to visit our parents next month. Gas is NOT cheap anymore! At the rate it's going, by christmas time, It might be cheaper for the 4 of us to fly to our parents and rent a car than to drive out.

We took them to see Thomas the Train not long ago. I think they liked it. There were lots of activities and things for the kids to do. We also rode on a train that Thomas was pulling.
