Random Stuff

So they say that babies are supposed to sleep on their backs.. but what if they fall asleep during tummy time? Sadie is sleeping in her rainforest on her tummy.. I don't want to wake her!

Does anyone watch the show True Beauty? on this week's episode there was a 101 year old woman on whose name was Sadie :)

I'm trying to start Cora on potty training.. except she is afraid to sit on her potty with her pants down.. she's fine if her pants are up.. hmm..

I'm just getting my bag ready to felt. I'm going to felt it tomorrow night at a friends house since we have a front loader washer.. I'll take before and after pictures and post them next time.

Cora has a new word she just started saying.. it's Please :)

Sonic just opened a few days ago near here... their burgers are really good! and I love the flavored pop! I had a watermelon sprite the other day and cherry sprite yesterday :)

1st Date Anniversary and Kisses

Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of Scott and I's first date! On our first date we had dinner at Pizzeria Unos and went bowling. So yesterday I thought he was leaving work early so we could go to Mo's Steakhouse in Milwaukee for dinner. We had reservations at 6 pm. But, of course he had surprises up his sleeves! :)

He had taken the whole day off!! He got up and took the kids to grandma and grandpas for the day while I got ready. First we went to lunch, at Unos of course, then we went bowling! He won the first game and I won the second.. then we went mini golfing! One of the local mini golfing places in town built an indoor mini golf course that just opened last year. It was a blast! Then we went to Applebee's for dessert! Then we went home for a little while before leaving for Milwaukee. It was such a fun day off from the regular routine, which was much appreciated since it's the middle of winter! I'm so lucky to have him for my husband!

We taught Cora how to blow kisses and she has been going around kissing things lately. It's so darn cute!! She will give us kisses, and Checkers kisses.. I've even seen her give her baby sister a kiss! This morning while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse she blew Mickey Mouse a kiss!

Have a good weekend everybody :)

What? Huh??

Not many people know this but in August 2007, I woke up one day and couldn't hear out of my left ear. The hearing never came back and there was nothing the doctors could do, so they said. So I went to a different clinic and found out that there is something they can do, it's called a Baha. So after a long wait to make sure it was completely covered by insurance my surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday! 1 week from today.. I can't wait :)



I finished Sadie's afghan, it turned out really nice but I'm not sure how to keep the bows tied.. they come undone in the washer and every now and then just when using it. Here are a couple of pictures of it.. and the bag so far :)

Felting and Sleep

So, last November I went to a craft show and saw this cute little red bag with a Bucky Badger on it..and I thought.. hey I could make one of those! I had always wanted to try felting anyways, so I checked some books out from the library and found one for Crocheted felted bags. I am much better at crocheting than knitting so that was good. Anyways I have started my bag so here is a picture of my progress so far..






More pictures to come as I get closer to being done.

On another note, a couple of days ago we fed Sadie rice cereal for the first time! She actually seems to like it. Cora was sleeping through the night when she was 6 weeks old, Sadie on the other hand is 14 weeks old and still not sleeping through the night. Here are some pictures :)

Before...


and during...
