Introducing: Harvey

Why is this smiley boy holding a shiny brand new Harvey train, despite lying on our hideous carpet?

Here's why:

I'd say $11.89 is a small price to pay for a fully potty-trained boy. Well, except for night time. But I'll take it. Hooray!!!!!

This is part of the reason I haven't blogged in over a week

A HUGE thanks to all 3 grandparents for their help this past week. My parents came over to help us put up the swingset for the boys, and Ked's mom kept them in Nebraska for several days so we could get the work done!

Here are the boys seeing their awesome swingset for the first time.

Landslide

After watching Gwenyth Paltrow sing this song on Glee this week, I was reminded of how I liked this version much better.

Crafty Sites!!

I've been meaning to do this for a while. I'm adding a sidebar list of some of the craft-type sites that I like. Most sites belong to people I actually know!!

My sister Melanie has started her own business selling adorable hair bows, tutus, etc, for little girls. Unfortunately my husband isn't too keen on the boys wearing tutus (although Eli does love to try on the headbands), but if you have girls, please check out her site here!

My sister-in-law Tiffany has been crafting for quite some time. With her sisters, she makes super cute block letters, decorative tiles, baskets, and other cute decor-type stuff. Check her out here!

And some of my Iowa City friends are becoming quite famous! Check out their blog here for their awesome art. Are you familiar with the Willow Tree Angels? Well, the company that sells them, Demdaco, contacted these sisters and mom to sell a line of products that they designed. Seriously awesome.

Ahh. . . someday maybe I'll have time to be crafty.
