Birthday Party Fun

Today, the kids and I went to a paint-your-own-pottery birthday party. Jack had tons of fun. He chose a motercycle to paint. It has to go in the kiln to be fired, and then we will get it back. I will update with pictures when we get it back. Audrey also got to paint. She and I smeared some colors on a tile and then she put her hand print on the tile. She wasn't too keen on painting, but she had fun eating pizza and running around. They had a small area like build-a-bear, so she and the other little ones kept going up there and picking up stuffed animals to carry around.

I adorned the gift that we brought for the birthday girl (the pastor's 5 year old daughter) with a homemade bow. This was my first attempt at a bow, I was surprised how easily it came together. I am looking forward to making more bows!

I am also including a picture of Jack with one of his new friends, Seth. There are two boys that Jack gets along with great a church (this is one of them). I believe Seth is 9 or 10, but he is such a nice boy that you would never know there is an age difference between the two. It probably helps that Jack is pretty mature for his age also. Behind Audrey is Jacob, Jack's other friend. Jacob is the same age as Seth, and is great with both Jack and Audrey.

And one last picture for today. After we got home, I went to look in on Audrey, quietly playing in her room by herself. She was so cute, just pulling books off her bookshelf and "reading" books to herself.

Audrey's Rock Star Look

I went to the thrift store to find some tee shirts, which was harder than I expected. I only found one tee shirt that I liked. I followed the tutorial that I shared earlier. It only took me about an hour to make. The bottom of the shirt flares out too much for me. I am thinking about putting bias tape along the bottom to pull it in a little.

Another awesome giveaway

If anyone has kids who like to play in the kitchen, you have to check out this site. Click this blog to enter a giveaway for some felt food. Within the blog, there is a link to the etsy site, where you can either buy the food already made or buy patterns to make your own.

Yay! A Project Done!

Here are a few pictures of my newest project. It is from a New Look pattern. It only took me two days to complete, and I added the band on the bottom of the pants all by myself :o) My model isn't the most cooperative model, hence the three pictures.

We haven't done much this week, as it's been pretty humid here and the pool is closed during the week since the kids have gone back to school. Maybe we'll get there tonight. Both of the kids love to swim, so I'd like to get as much swimming in as possible before the pool closes for the season.

Fun Find!

Today, I entered a giveaway at bluecricketdesign.net for the Essential kit from ohsosassy.com

Out of curiosity, I checked out Oh So Sassy's page. They sell kits which include a pattern, all the fabric and supplies for around $20 for each individual pattern. You can also buy just the patterns for $10. That's a pretty good price, but I am still feeling a little spoiled at catching the 99 cent McCalls sale.

BUT the cool thing I saw on Oh So Sassy's page, was an option to buy supplies to have a sewing party. How much fun would that be!!!!! It's not one of those cheesy, sales things. You just get 10 friends together who like to sew (I don't think I even have that many friends, but some of you may :o) and then you have a party and sew together.

Maybe I'm a little crazy, but that sounds that a ton of fun to me!

Big News

Soon there will be another Krohn! He/She is due March 2, 2011. I had an ultrasound yesterday to establish a due date. My scanner is broken so I will try and take a picture of the ultrasound to upload. He/She looks like a gummy bear, but is very active. You could even see finger definition.

Wordless Wednesday

I was going to post just one picture without any words today for a "Wordless Wednesday" but Audrey decided to feed herself with a utensil for the first time, and I just had to share. I couldn't get the video to upload here, so you will have to link to YouTube. Click Here to see Audrey in action.
