Sigh

It's not good when you have a two year old that can manage to break into any type of medicine container. And can scale the shelves to get to it.

Baby Blue Steel

I came across this photo of Mikah today from when he was going through his "Blue Steel" phase. So funny, and so hard to picture now LOL!

New Blinds

When you're feeling crafty
This is what you do;

buy a set of mini blinds,

a meter of fabric or two,

and don't forget the glue!

I have been wanting roman blinds for my kitchen for quite awhile now, but had been unable to find either the right size or pre-made blinds in a fabric/pattern that I didn't hate. I realize that I could have sewn some, but that would have taken time that I didn't have to devote to the project. Then the other day I stumbled across this idea and my dream looked that much closer. (Thank you, thank you, thank you Jenny for the amazing tutorial!)

Here's the pictorial progress of my no-sew roman blinds. It too about an hour and a half from start to finish for 2 blinds. The second blind only took about 1/2 an hour, so it would be possible to turn out quite a few of these babies once you got on a roll.

Mini-blind skeleton (I left every ninth blind)

After the fabric was glued on. Make sure you glue it to the right side of the blinds LOL!

Finished!

Folded.

Happy 1st Birthday Lukas!

Lukas turned one on March 19th! It's hard to believe just how fast the last year has went and how much our baby has grown. Even though he will always be a baby to me LOL! He had a typical 1st birthday; cake was demolished, presents were ignored, boxes were played in, baby was played out.

Canad'a Next Top Model

Here is it... Alek modeling once again. He was much more comfortable on the stage this year. It makes me wonder what next year will bring; as he sure does like to get the laughs.

Overheard from the Back of the Van

Two little boys singing along with their favorite song.

"Uh Uh OH" (Single Ladies)

Mikah and Lukas just love to sing to this song and they recognize it as soon as the first beats play. It's so cute because they just sing "UH UH OH" all throughout the song.

It makes me smile even on the grouchiest of mornings.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

This will show you that Veggie Tales is appropriate for any occasion. Please, have a Guinness (or six) for me!

Hmm, well, I can't get the video to work so click on the link and the interweb will magically whisk you there on the wings of an Irish faerie. Or something like that.
