Easter Fun

I know I've been M.I.A. lately. I just can't really work up the motivation to blog much. I more in the "doing" phase at the moment. I've made Kiki scores of new clothes! I love making her stuff, but it's getting to the point where she may never even get around to wearing it. I'll have to do a round-up post of her clothes soon.


I hosted an Easter Party and Egg Hunt for our friends today, and it was a bunch of fun.

I took this picture before everyone else showed up. Everyone else brought so many treats, the table was overflowing!


These are chocolate-dipped Peeps and they are oh-so-delicious!


Egg-in-the-grass-cookies from MADE and Bunny Brownies with chopped up Peeps (I know, I felt like such a murderer!)




I love this simple garland. It's just felt circles that are sewn down the middle. Very quick and cute and you can change it up for any holiday!


And I wanted to use my new sketch pens for the Silhouette, so I whipped up an Easter basket banner with our names!




Another project from the Silhouette. It can cut these adorable intricate paper baskets!

How sweet it is...

I just wanted to give a shout-out to all my great friends! After Finn was born, I felt like I had no one, and know I have so many people I can hang out with (and their great kids). Not only are my friends sweet, they are all so talented! I learn something new everytime I hang out with them. How lucky am I?

Baby Shower!

It felt like my birthday yesterday! I had such an amazing day! Melissa threw me a beautiful shower for Baby Girl! She really went all out! There was great food, games and an awesome cake! I am so excited about throwing her a shower for her boy now because she gave me some great ideas! All my friends came too! It was so nice! Baby Girl got so many great gifts and clothes! I would take pics of all of them but it would certainly back up Blogger for awhile!

After the shower, Scott and I came home and put away all the gifts and fixed up Baby Girl's room. We put all the stuff on her walls and got out all the little baby toys. Except for the crib, it is all ready for her!

Last night Scott and I went out to dinner in Bricktown. It just felt like my birthday all day. It was such a great day!
In Finn news, he's been swimming in his new bigger baby pool lately. And he's had a runny nose that's been making him mighty cranky! Today he has been much better though! In fact, we've just been sitting around in the baby's room all morning. He LOVES the new double stroller. He played in it for TWO HOURS this morning!

Wednesday FM

We went to the Farmer's Market this morning with my friend Melissa and her boys. I've never been on a Wednesday before and it was kind of neat. Much less people and different booths! Still insanely hot though! Afterward we went by our new favorite park and Finn found some little friends. It amazes me how much he loves new people lately. And he remembers them! As soon as we got to the park, he started saying, "Addison" over and over because last time we were there, he made a little friend named Addison.

Afterward we went out to lunch with my mother, her friend from high school, Jo, and Jo's daughter, Stephanie and grandaughter, Addison (different one--we know a few). We really like having lunch with them every so often. Finn was very pleasant at the restaurant too! He's gotten a lot better at sitting in a highchair and eating. Maybe someday we can even move into a booster seat!

Yoga Baby #2 & Children's Museum

I thought that since Finn showed some interest in yoga a few weeks ago we would try Babar & Me Yoga at the library on Thursday morning. It's really for ages 2 and up, but they said we could come and do it anyway. We went with Sawyer and Nicolette. They've been out of town for a couple of weeks, so it was a nice reunion! Finn seemed excited to see Sawyer too. We got there a little early and he ran around the playground saying, "Sawyer, where are you?" Too cute. Anyway, we went in for yoga and luckily, the teachers were very understanding of Finn's independanceitis (you know, that condition that makes him want to run around the room and play with everyone else's stuff). He didn't really do much of the yoga with me and we had to leave the room a couple of times to calm down, but I think we'll still go back next week. I liked it anyway! I need to start using my muscles and getting a little more in shape for labor. Besides, I get SO stiff at night! I only have 2 positions on can sleep in (right side or left!), so I wake up in desperate need of some stretching.


After yoga, we went to Panera to eat and I just want to say that it went much better than last time! Last time we went, I had to pack up and leave when Finn wouldn't stop crying. This time, him and Sawyer just sat and quietly ate their food and Nicolette and I could actually have a conversation! I love days like that!


After lunch on Thursday, we went to pick up Sharyn and then drove out to the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole. My plan was to drive during Finn's naptime so he would sleep in the car. Didn't happen! I think he was a little excited that Granny was there, so he stayed up. The museum was much further away than I thought. It took quite awhile to drive there, but it was worth it. They had a lot of things to do. A lot of it was geared toward older kids, but Finn liked "driving" the cars and planes, looking at the fish, digging in the sand, and riding the train. There was also a rock pit that he just loved! My child is obsessed with rocks! We played in the 3 and under room too, which Sharyn and I really liked because it was much cooler in there than the rest of the museum. There was also a bubble area, pretend grocery shopping, and craft area that we played in. We went with Melissa and Tonya and their kids too. I think they all had a really good time.

Anyway, this morning we went to the Farmer's Market with Nicolette and Sawyer. Then they came over to play for a little bit. I'm really trying to kill time until tonite because Scott and I are going out! It's our 6 year anniversary and we have reservations at Musashi's and I can't wait! I'm not sure what else we're going to do. There aren't really any great movies out, but we might go see something.

Shopping and Friend Time

Wow! It is so windy today! I hung up some laundry outside and I really hope I don't lose any!


I've found that I'm not very good at splurging. Nicolette and I dragged the boys (the "Twain boys" as she calls them) to a very cute baby boutique today and they had a ton of cute girls stuff. But the whole time I'm thinking, "I could totally make this for way cheaper." It is amazing what you can charge when you put it in a cute sack and wrap it in tissue paper! So, I didn't actually buy anything. But I do plan on hitting the fabric store later to recreate some of the things I saw! Also, Nicolette showed me some of the diapers she has sewn and I think I could do it too. She's probably explained how to do it for me about 5 times, but I swear I can't figure it out until I actually SEE something, so I think now I can figure out how to make Baby Girl some diaps. I've got a lot of sewing projects to keep busy!


Before shopping, we tried taking the boys to a little play at the library. Sawyer wasn't even interested in going in (it was pretty loud and there were a ton of people). Finn went in, but once in there, he was the LOUDEST child in the room! Anytime they wanted you to laugh or clap, he would be HYSTERICAL in his enthusiam. I think it was bugging some of the other moms, so we left after about 5 mins. Which was cool with Finn because he would much rather run away from me and play hide and seek in the library anyway. But, I must gloat a little and say that we went to a playdate yesterday morning and he was SO well-behaved! He wasn't his usual crazy-loud self (which I love of course, but it wears out quickly when you are trying to make conversation at a playdate).


We had Nicolette and Sawyer over yesterday to play also. Here is a cute pic of the boys playing:

Nicolette got some really good ones that you can see here. They are so cute together!












Finn also tried his hand at photography and snapped these:



And finally, here is a pic of me at 27 weeks pregnant:
