Injuries

Jack got injured in a dump truck accident. It was serious and had to be bandaged immediately.

Okay, so it was a pretty good strawberry but he survived to work on his "contraption".

Start Them Early

Caught red-handed. Aunty Amy (http://sadiepriss.blogspot.com/) would be so proud.

Robot Fun

We are preparing for Jack's Robot Birthday Party this coming Saturday and got crafty. Time for clay robot favors.

I first saw the idea on etsy so thanks tofunutloaf (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17883952) for the inspiration. Mine weren't as creative as Jack's.

I can't imagine having more fun out of polymer clay scraps and random hardware. Now I have to figure out which ones I can actually part with.

Etsy Find of the Day

I'm a bit addicted to Etsy. I will admit it. I find something everyday that I want to buy or make or just sit and admire. And since I'm admitting things, its more than one thing a day usually. Today's find is this awesome zombie sock puppet.

Too clever and Jack thinks its cool. Let's hope he doesn't understand the red glitter yet.

Love Birds

I realize that Valentines Day has come and gone, but how cute are these little things? mollychicken is one of my favorite blogs to follow and her sweet little birds are too sweet. They are next on my craft to-do-list for Easter of course. You can find her tutorial here: http://mollychicken.blogs.com/my_weblog/2009/02/4th-attempt.html

Thanks for the great inspiration!

A different direction ...

So I've been thinking about the blogs that I really enjoy, and I do really enjoy them. And then I look at my blog and realize that it needs a little more. I love my family and my kids are extremely adorable, but I think I'd like a post or two that doesn't involve the little buggers. This means things are going to change - at least a little.

A really big hat ...

Jack is a cowboy with a really big hat ...

Happy Birthday!

A new front storm door for a birthday present? It's GREAT and the girl's love it.

Finger Foods

We're making the transition from baby food to finger foods. It's fun and extremely photogenic.

The Train Museum

Technically speaking I guess it's the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina. According to Jack, it's the Train Museum and we need to go everyday. Every day.

As usual, my loving husband found out about the Santa Train offered at the Museum before Christmas. Jack loves trains and who doesn't love Santa, so off we went. It's such a neat place with or without Santa. Jack loved the train ride although he did state the "a bullet train should be going much faster".

He loved the round house but didn't really want to take a ride, watching seemed to suit him just fine. But most of all he LOVED the gift shop. I mean, what kid wouldn't.

Despite the bitter cold wind of the day, we had a wonderful time and got yet another opportunity to show off the twins. Apparently we need to go to the Train Museum tomorrow. According to Jack anyway.
