Funny Face

Lola has this new face that she makes and it cracks me up! She does it when she whines (her new thing!)

New Season...New Hair Color!

Went from blond to brown today! Quite a shock, but I think I like it! Will just take some getting used to! Kyan told me that he didn't like it at first when he saw me with it wet! In fact, he told me over and over that he didn't like it (little turd!) Once it was fixed he told me that it was pretty! I guess he recognized me again or something! Gotta love kids - they are so honest!

Happy Halloween!

Despite the chaos that was my life yesterday - I managed to sneak in some time and get my Halloween sign done! Love it!

Double Ear Infection

As Kyan is feeling better, now Lola is sick! She is definately my drama baby for sure! Took her to the doc this afternoon and she has a double ear infection :( Poor thing. As if that isn't bad enough, she also has teeth coming in on the top and bottom!!! They gave her some medicine for her ears for the pain - it numbs them - and we have to rotate motrin and tylenol every three hours, plus amoxicillan twice a day! One more ear infection for her this season and we have to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Hopefully this is the last of the sicknesses at this house for the week (make that for the next couple of months), I can only hope Chad doesn't catch something, as I had my share of it on Thursday, and Kyan on Saturday! He has been taking that AIRBORNE stuff, so I guess we will see how well it really works! I can only wish for sleep tonight and a healthy family tomorrow!

Ready to pull out my hair!!!

I didn't really realize how lucky I have had it...Lola sleeping through the night for so long that is, because last night was a doozy. She was up from about midnight to 4:30 this morning - just screaming and crying and a fever. Nothing was making her feel better, I tried about every trick I knew how with her. I thought maybe it was her teeth, but usually Tylenol fixes that and she goes right back down. She is still not herself this morning, although she is asleep right now, so we are off to the doctor this afternoon to find out what the deal is.
On a positive note though, Kyan is feeling MUCH better and is back to his normal self AND my house is sparkling clean thanks to my mama! She sent money to have the cleaning ladies come over! Did I say how much I love those cleaning ladies? (and my mother too, of course, but that one is a given - THANK YOU MOM!) They do an amazing job at a very reasonable price, so if anyone is interested please let me know and I can pass along their number!

Jazzing up Lola's onesies...and a bib!

So, in a craft store binge, I happened upon these iron-ons for baby! Of course the first one I do (the bib, and my practice) turns out perfect! So on to the little owl on a new pink t-shirt - DISASTER! I melted the iron-on onto the cutting board I was using and screwed it up royally! YIKES! I was bummed. I have to try that one again!
The "Future Ballerina" onesie is for her Halloween costume. I made a tutu a few months ago and needed a shirt to go with it! I haven't thought past that what the rest will look like!
The little bird onesie has princess on it and almost turned out...the flower is barely missing on it, so I will have to give that one another try too! It is wearable - but, I think that is one that will look better on a bib. If you know Lola, her bib is her accessory, as she is my spit up queen. She actually is getting much better. I am sure it has to do with her sitting up all the time.
So 3 out of my five attempts turned out semi-successful! I told Chad that I wanted a sewing machine for Christmas and he looked at me like I was crazy - then I asked myself if I was slowy headed that way!?!

My First Chipboard Album

Made this for one of my girlfriends for a wedding shower gift! Thought it was a cute way to show off a few of their favorite pictures together! For being a rookie at this one - I was pretty pleased!
