Let's go ride a bike....

I finally took Carter out on the bike he got for Christmas. He was hot stuff---loving it but needing lots of help. The tiniest incline was, for now, insurmountable but hey, what else are Mom's for?! When we got back home he posed on his bike for my pictures--that's when the first crash happened, but he took it well, he just said "that's gunna be two bruises now", if this kid only had two bruises on his legs at any given time THAT would be blog worthy.

New Baby Cousin....to Torture

This is baby Aftyn's first day home--I held the kids off their new cousin as long as I could (about 3 hours). The picture you see of Zoe is the only one of five where she wasn't literally in Aftyn's face---that girl is destined to be the mother of 12! She is so cute and so sweet, and I haven't brought my five baby muggers over since, I'm trying to get Aftyn back on my good side. I have snuck over a few times (ok every day) for a little "baby time". Nothing sweeter than a niece, I get to hold her, cuddle her, watch her grow and not pay for any of it!

Game afoot...

I thought this would be fun to do: (Well actually I saw it on several blogs and my trigger finger finally twitched--they do that sometimes you have to be vigilent)
The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you. I get to pick what I make for you, but it will be especially for you.
** But here's the deal:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done sometime this year.
4. You have no clue what it will be.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
** The Catch?The catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did will win a FABULOUS homemade gift by me( and if you know me you'd better pray I don't attempt to sew you anything)!! So come and play along.

Sumpun looks different or weird or sumpun...

The other day Carter and his lovely sidekick totally destroyed Carters' bedroom. I won't name the sidekick because it is not sidekick's fault, Carter could have destroyed his room just fine on his own, he often demonstrates that ability. This time I told him he had to clean his room before he could do anything else that day. Not very many minutes later he comes to me and announces, "I'm done, but sumpun looks different or weird or sumpun, but I tweened my room." Not bad for your first solo flight cleaning your room---there is hope.
