Barbie ball gowns!

I had heard last week at the farmers market that there is this sweet old lady who makes barbie dresses. I didn't get a chance to see her then, but today she was right across from me. I couldn't resist. I bought 4 from her and I got a free one too. I was going to give all of them to Kylie for Christmas but I couldn't wait, so she got one today. and guess what.... It was only $2.50. This isn't even the fanciest dress. I'll post the other ones after Kylie gets them. So if anyone wants a barbie ball gown let me know. She just makes them to keep herself busy, she's so sweet. The dress below is for Kylie's friend.

My two little twins!

About a month ago I showed Kylie some pictures of her when she was a baby and asked her who it was.... She replied by saying "Kolby". I told her that it wasn't Kolby and that it was her. She didn't believe me at first. So then I went and looked at pictures of both of them and they are totally twins... Let me know what you think!

Bum Genius 3.0 Baby!!!

So I've made the plunge to cloth diapers. Mostly it was for a year supply kind of thing, but it's also saving us a lot of money. I've talked to several people about our switch and a few of them are going to make the switch too. I really like the ones that I got because they are a one size fits all. Kaleb and Kolby can wear them, I just have to change the position of the snaps. I'm amazed at how well they work and they are not that much extra work. Anyways, here are the boys in their new diapers.

Kolby the toe sucking baby looking all cute in his yellow diaper... I've also got green ones.

Kaleb was just having too much fun in his new diapers. He actually got mad at me when I took them off and put him back in a regular huggies. I still have a few packs of diapers I need to finish using.

They can take a running toddler with no problems

Kaleb is just pointing out his new diapers

These things really do work just like a regular diaper.... Everyone needs to make the switch!

As the Doodle Bops say... "Don't you worry when the lights go out"

I can't hold it against Kylie for not wanting to sleep in her room. She's always a little scared of the dark, as was I as a child. I slept with a night light... I'm not ashamed to admit it. Well Kylie gets a little spooked by the shadows that are made by the night light. Darned if she does, Darned if she doesn't kind of thing. She still ends up in my bed most nights, but at least I get her to start off in her bed with this new remedy. When I was little I used to go to bed with all my dolls and stuffed animals all around me. If I can ever find that picture I'll post it next to Kylie's. Every night I tell Kylie a story before going to bed. This particular night after hearing her talk about being scared I told her about what I used to do to get all protected for bed. She wanted to give it a try. So I placed all her dolls and stuffed animals all around her. A few minutes later she asked to have them all taken off because she had to scratch her leg and couldn't do it for some reason with all the chaos. So after all the scratching was finished... she was able to go to sleep

He discovered his toes!

Kolby discovered he has toes now. He's found his new past time when on the floor. Who needs toys around when he's got two toys attached to him. He will rock himself back and forth holding on to his feet. They even work as a binky when his isn't around. 'I've got some more sucking toes pictures but they are being reserved for another post.

playing computer

So the other day I was working on the computer making some mock-ups of some signs that people had ordered. I guess I was a little preoccupied and neglected the kids a bit as you can see by the mess of toys by the door. So Kylie got a brilliant idea to play on a computer too. She got some pictures out of Kalebs room and made them into a computer. She used an empty box as her computer desk, and took an ornament off the Christmas tree as a mouse. For some reason she needed a work hat, so she got my strainer for that.

Kaleb wanted to join in on the fun too, so he sat down and started typing away. I wanted to get a picture of Kylie, the master mind behind this mess, but Kaleb wouldn't give up his seat. It was all I could do to have him give Kylie the "hat" for a picture.

I'm a slacker ... I know!

Okay, so I haven't posted anything new lately. My brain has been stuck in farmers market mode. I'm still trying to get the playroom finished for the kids, although they don't seem to mind playing in a room with unfinished walls too much. Hopefully I'll have the room done w/in a week and I'll post pictures of the finished product.

A farmers market update... It's been going okay I guess. There are a few others that are selling tutu's as well, but mine seem to be the only ones that people buy... YAHOO!! for me. My signs are going pretty good, I've had sold a few at the market, but mostly people order custom signs. I just had an order for 5 signs from one person.

Well I'm the only person still up at my house, and that's just not right, so I'm off to bed.

Farmers Market!!

A month ago or so I was contacted about selling my jewelry at a farmers market that is going to be held every Saturday until the end of May. I decided to spread out and sell hand painted signs, vinyl signs, picture magnet boards and tu tu's.... Here's what I have made so far.. For info on the famers market look at my jewelry blog.

The many beds of Kylie

When I got pregnant with Kaleb, I got all excited to get his room ready so I decided to have Kylie sleep in her big girl bed when she was 18 months old. BAD IDEA!!! Basically she wouldn't stay in her bed and ended up in our bed every night. It's now gotten to the point that when she's ready for bed she goes straight into our bed. She's now 4 1/2 and something needs to be done.

Today we finally got her a real bed, and it's name is actually the "Kylie Bed". Once I saw it I just had to have it. Anyways when we got home today from running errands she knew that the bed was in the garage in the box. She got so excited for it she hugged the box. She couldn't wait to put it together. When I showed her a picture of it from my cell phone, she got this big gasping squeal and said that it was "beautiful".

I always wanted a headboard for her bed, but since her bed used to be just the metal frame it was just blah.... I had this mirror to my bedroom's dresser that was broken and I decided to turn the frame to it into a headboard.. I think it turned out way cute~~~ But the room was still very Blah!!!

Then I tried the bed/headboard in a different spot... and we also did some decorating.
I just love~love~love the polka dots.

And I tried it in a different spot again...

Then several months back Stuart began working from home and needed a memo/message board above his desk. I had yet another great idea for the old frame. I turned it into a magnet board for him.... You'll all be happy to know that he never goes into his office, instead he sits on the couch in the living room with his laptop. But there is stuff on the magnet board at least now.
So in its place I made this sign for her wall that took the place of the headboard... (I couldn't find any pictures of it with the bed)

This is Kylie in her bed watching some TV until she falls asleep IN HER OWN BED!!!
