We're back

The kiddos and I made it back from Ohio yesterday. We were there for my little sister's baby shower. The shower went well. It was in a little lodge on a cute fishing lake there. The baby that is soon to make it's debut will have more clothes than there are days to wear them. I guess it's too hard to resist the cute baby girl clothes. I, of course, left the battery to my camera in Tn so I had to buy a disposable one and I don't have the pics back yet.

On another note, AP hit the 18 month mark last Thursday. We need to get her check-up scheduled to see how much she has grown. I know that we stopped to get her new dress shoes this weekend and she had skipped a size, so I know her foot is growing! I also need to make an appt for 18 month pictures. I stumbled upon another blog and saw a post about a network of photographers that celebrate adoption. There are 2 in our area that offer free session fees and special deals if you have adopted in the last year. I've got to check it out.

Not much else going on here, pics coming soon...

I Saw What I Saw

Although we've done the same thing in two other impoverished countries, this video compels me to do more. It makes me want to leave tomorrow.

How Many Licks Does It Take to Get to The Center of a Tootsie Pop?

We are almost done.

Any guesses?

The title is a hint.

Embracing My Inner Crafter (or something like that)

I have been working on several craft projects and finished some this past week. I finished the mask for C's costume, but forgot to take a pic when he was modeling it, so that will come later. I would love to see if those of you who don't already know what he is supposed to be can guess it. I have also been working on some stuff for my little sister's baby shower that I am helping to host in Ohio next weekend. I made these favors. The picture doesn't do them justice, they turned out really cute. There is a tea bag inside and the outside says "A Baby is Brewing" and has the date of her shower. I used the same footprint stamp to touch up the napkins as well.

I got on a roll while stamping napkins and stamped these for a fall-themed party I had at my house last Friday. (Shanny, I stole your chicken cup recipe again!) I am lovin' me some stampin. I am also going to attempt to make a diaper cake for one of the centerpieces. We'll see how that goes.

And just because....here is Superman and his faithful sidekick on their way to bed. Don't they seem too happy to be going to bed?

You're not cool...

...unless you are drooling chocolate and have a green bean on your eye.
