Hairbow Holder

I made a hairbow holder for Natalie the other day. I wasn't about to pay the $20+ for a professionally made one, when I knew I could make one for about $6. I think it came out rather cute. What do you think?



It was simple to do. I bought a wooden letter at the craft store, and a piece of purple sparkle scrapbook paper. I traced the letter onto the paper, and cut it out. Then I mod podged it onto the letter. Got some ribbon, and used a staple gun to attatch it to the back. Added the hairbows, and voila! I think I need to make the ribbons a little longer though. I have been getting into making hairbows, and I am running out of room already on the holder.

Chocolate pudding

I was trying to get dinner on the table, and I was using the oven. Natalie was being a little cling-on, spider monkey baby, and wouldn't let me put her down. I finally go so fed up, and I needed to get the dinner out of the oven, that I put her in her high chair, and gave her a chocolate snack pack. I think she had fun. What do you think? She is only in a diaper, since she was playing out in the pool earlier that afternoon.

When we were done eating, she was so mad when I threw the empty container in the trash. I then proceeded to give her a bath in the kitchen sink. I didn't want to walk all the way to the bathroom. She was filthy. She had pudding from her hairline, all the way down into her diaper. gross.

Soooo sick!

Jacob was so sick this past week. He started out with croup, and it just went downhill from there. Poor kiddo. One night about a week into his sickness marathon, he woke up screaming with an ear infection. It took forever to get him to calm down, and get comfortable enough to go back to sleep. He was just not a happy camper. Finally he had ran off, and was crying, and wouldn't let anyone touch him. Jared had gone back to bed, since he had to work in the morning. I tried to console Jacob, but he wanted nothing to do with anyone. He has one little corner of the house where he likes to hide, and he went to his corner. After about 5 minutes or so, his crying stopped. I was sitting on the couch trying to doze, and I thought I would go check on him. This is what I found.

Poor kiddo was so tired, that he fell asleep sitting up in the corner of the wall and fridge. The next day I took him into the dr, and found out that he had a massively brutal double ear infection, and was on the brink of pneumonia. The dr was really surprised that his ear drums hadn't ruptured yet. They were bulging so much, he said the ear drum was extremely thin in a few spots, and to be prepared for a ruptured drum in the next few hours. He was put on an extremely strong abx, according to my sister. Poor kiddo. Luckily, 10 days later, he is his old mischevious, monkey boy self. :)
