This is a toadstool rattle I've been "working on" since before I was pregnant with my first son in 2009. I've had to redo each part of it numerous times because it's over my head. Tonight I went out for a couple of hours and came back to find it strewn around my bedroom with the needles pulled out. I guess this was the impetus I needed to get back to work. Maybe it'll be done before baby #3 arrives in a month. Ha ha ha

Someone's feeling a little dejected that he's not learning how to ride a two-wheeler. Being the little brother is hard sometimes!

first-timer Happy Easter!

A little 'struction play...you know to mix it up a bit. ;-)

01/26/2015

Working on C's first homework assignment for the 100th day of school--counting out ten groups of ten. W was super helpful--at dumping.

His piggie is sick.

I saw the idea for fabric and oil pastel collage today on FB and thought the boys might be interested. I was wrong.

Nailed it, Kroger. There was so much local fruit there today--cherries, oranges, lemons, etc.

Legos!

I told C he couldn't make set-ups on the dining room floor anymore [right in the walkway], and this was his solution. Accompanied by the new song he wrote for his little brother: "For Babies it's a Model; For Big Boys it's a Toy." You know, because you don't play with models.

Just a couple of kids trying to get home after finals!

Another Minnesota classic--winter sunny skies!

Can't stop making stuff...

I think it's fair to say that we are bagel addicts...

12/20/2014

Then I went a little crazy while watching Christmas Vacation...

12/14/2014

Our vacuum wasn't working, so I literally took it apart. Apparently it has great suction when it's working--xylophone mallet?! Feeling pretty cocky about my home appliance maintenance skills. ha ha ha

This is the best and worst idea all in one.

12/08/2014

There is some serious play happening here.

C's taco truck. They also sell hotdogs, sausages, apples and blueberries. Love him.

As I was taking this picture to document what happened when I left the room for 45 sec (multicolor mustache) I realized he was trying to cut his hair. It is 7:30 a.m. We've been up for two hours. This might be a long Saturday.

4-year-old aesthetic...vintage ornaments from my childhood...in a lovely, festive clump

We take tree decorating very seriously at our house.

11/28/2014

A little letter practice just for fun.

11/07/2014

Roofing is our new activity. Gotta pay the bills, right?

He doesn't like the idea of blindly drawing a card from the pile, so he's painstakingly laying out all the cards. 'llstartplayinginanhour

Some wool felt, scissors and one four-year-old...voila! Monster mania! Will looks on after agreeing his is "too little" to be into it. What a nut.

Just finished an autumn colors custom order that was a collaboration with my very talented mother, Lois! I also made a coordinating bunting that is super cute, and now I kinda want one! So glad someone asked us to make it!

It's hard to see, but I'm pretty sure those are some rough draft "C's." On the kitchen table. I think I'm not clear enough about the "creativity boundaries" around here.

10/20/2014

Working on a little robot appliqué for my elder. Once I get better at this I might become obsessed...

10/18/2014

Trying out their costumes from Nana...W is a Bichon and C is a puppy that he sleeps with. She whipped these up in a couple of days when I called her last week.
