Random iPhone Pics

Here are a few random pictures off my cell phone lately.

Baby A has not gotten over her sinus infection yet and has been EXTREMELY clingy. So that meant I gladly pulled out my sleepy wrap and wore her around the house a few times. She still LOVES to be worn which thrills my heart like you can not imagine. Once she saw me put the sleepy wrap on she started dancing around and laughing.I put her in it and she would yell "wwweeeeee" while I was working around the house. She also found out quickly how to get me attention when being worn. She would grab handfuls of my hair and put them in my face. I would laugh which would only egg her on. So then we went in front of the bathroom mirror and got these pictures of our little play time. Yes they are not great quality but it is what you get when wearing a 16 month old ball of energy. Oh and even though these are not the best pictures of myself (since she had a ball messing up my hair....it is proof that I don't always wear my hat....the next few pictures of advent I will post later, have me wearing my hat and I promise I don't wear it everyday...just every other day ;-) )

 Sweet hugs from my sweet girl (who had just gotten told "no hitting"...she can be rough at times)

I have been sewing LOTS lately. It really is like therapy for me. I love it so much and I love finding new things to make also. I made Scooter's teacher this adorable tote for Christmas this year:

I had already made Rascal's teacher a tote earlier in the year so I decided to make her some Oreo Truffles along with some cute hand towels.  Let me tell you now....I have made several new things this year and of all the things I have made hand towels about made me quit sewing! Yes they frustrated me that much. Not sure why and I don't really think it was one certain thing but more like a couple of things together.  For some reason they just weren't coming out the way I wanted them to. So I found a new pattern and that is when they came out like this:

I also made Baby A this adorable outfit for Christmas:

Each outfit I make her I always say it is my favorite but this time I think it really is my favorite outfit I have made......so far! She wore it Sunday night to our church Christmas cantata and fellowship and she also had sweet little pigtails too. I didn't happen to get a picture of her pigtails but they were adorable and she kept them up all night too! YAY!


The boys had to go to school half a day on the 16th and that was simply filled with a big classroom Christmas breakfast. I helped out in Rascal's class with certain activities and for Scooter's class I made sausage balls and sent in treat bags. Since I knew they would get tons of candy I decided to make some simple Snowman Soup treat bags that I had seen on Pintrest. It was simply just a package of hot chocolate, 2 Hershey kisses, a mini candy cane, and some mini marshmallows.

Here are a few pictures of Baby A and Rascal at his class party:

It was pajama day so both boys wore a pair of the fleece pj pants I made them. Baby A wore her smocked nativity dress. I gotta get as much wear out of that dress as I can this season.

I didn't get any of Scooter at his party. I was trying to keep Baby A interested in her snack and not interested in Scooter's teachers things.....I can't say I was successful at that. A kindergarten classroom is much more toddler friendly than a 3rd grade classroom. She was perfectly fine lounging in their reading corner looking at books while I helped out with activities.
I am now off to try and get an advent post up. Look for it sometime today!
