Stickers

Jeremiah's turning out to be a very creative little boy! He loves playing with stickers, play dough and coloring. Here's his latest creation. Thankfully, it's not on the wall!

This is serious stuff!

"Cheese!"

The finished product. After multiple moves from shirt, to cheek, to paper.


I love how he crosses his feet.

Birthday

My 26th birthday was last week. It was a low key day that my two boys made very special...

Matt had Jeremiah color a picture for me. Jeremiah gave it to me and the immediately ripped the stickers off and put them on his cheek.

Jeremiah said birthday for the first time on my birthday. Made this Momma feel very loved!

Matt grilled my favorite chicken.

Like I said low key, but with all the business we have coming up, low key was just what I needed!

Terrible Twos

Who this sweet boy? It couldn't be terrible! He'sbeen testing us. Last night was point and case.

Jeremiah decided I wastaking too long to make dinner, so went looking in the pantry. He found something tasty! Syrup! Didn't know he had gotten that out till I see it on the carpet. Thankfully, it came out no problem.

After dinner, Matt and I were relaxing in the living room while Jeremiah played in the play room. I could hear him playing with his cars so wasn't worried. Until it was quiet, and had been for a few minutes. Matt went to check it out. His response, "Oh no... Megan!" I walk in and this is what I saw.

Except I saw Jeremiah standing up the table with black drool on his face, shirt and hands. I had forgotten to pick up the crayons after we had colored. Jeremiah ate part of a black one. He realized spit and crayon made a paint like substance and went to town on the wall.

Is it bad that my first reaction was, "This is hilarious! Where's my camera???" Wasn't so hilarious when we were trying toclean it up and figure out if the generic brand crayons were nontoxic. After a call to my mom, the store where we got the crayon, Mom, and poison control we decided we would all make it through the night. Barely!

I'm so glad we haven't painted Jeremiah's big boy room yet. Until we do, there will be some black hand prints on the wall.

Some few more pictures of Jeremiah's "art".

31 Weeks

I'm 31 weeks and feeling good. Starting to feel big but know that I'll be a lot bigger by the end. I'm happy because I can still wear my wedding ring!

Jeremiah loves to pull up my shirt to look at my belly. He'll pat it, give it kisses and some times whack it. :-)He' pretty sweet, most of the time. My belly is starting to get in his way though. He's not able to snuggle up against me like he wants to. Lap space is getting limited, if not close to nonexistent.

Ephram seems to be a lot like his big brother. Very active! Except for when Matt tries to feel him. Ephram will be wiggling away, but once Matt tries to feel Ephram stops.

Wreath ADD

Spring is almost here! And that means new decorations! I have a door mat that I really like, but nothing that coordinates to go one the door. I'm not one to go spend a ton of cash on one. So I got online ant started checking out some blogs for ideas.

I was planning on doing this one.

Went to Hobby Lobby to get everything I needed. Once Jeremiah was done for his nap I got to work. When I was almost finished, I realized I wasn't feeling it. It looked messy to me. I put it aside to try to think of something else to make with the supplies I had.

When I put the wreath down it, it landed upside down. I liked the clean lines of the ribbon. Reminded me of another wreath.

Last night I got to work on my wreath redo. I was pleased with how it turned out, but felt like it was missing something.


I really liked this one.

Only problem was, I don't have a sewing machine, or sew. After some brain storming and rummaging through my craft box I found the solution! More matching ribbon, coordinating felt and puff paint.

By using felt, you just need to cut it to size. Much easier!

Like I said, I have wreath ADD. After making three different wreaths I finally have one I like! It matches my mat and has bright colors that I love.

Curtains

Last month I asked for your advice on curtains for my dinning room. Thanks for all the help! I thought about it a lot and took these back. Decided I wanted some with a pattern. After many trips to different stored I found some I love!

They still need some work. They're floor length which is not a good fit for my family right now. Right now they're just folded over the rod, classy I know. I'm planning on recruiting my mom to help me shorten them. How not quite sure. Good thing Mom is good at that kind of stuff!
