angry bird!

I have been SO excited to share this and was forced to keep it a secret until I gave it to my MIL since I made it a surprise for her. Honestly, I don't see the hook that Angry Birds seems to possess to make everybody and their mother (heh heh, see what I did there?) be so addicted to this game! But, it did make for a fun project and the MIL was very happy and excited about it, so who am I to judge?


This was SO easy! And cheap! I like cheap. And I like easy. So we were a perfect match. I got the idea and pattern from HERE. Now go make one! You know you want to.


He's so adorably angry! Lurve it.

thankful

I had quite the eventful day yesterday. First, my boy is sick. He came down with a fever on Tuesday and has progressively acquired symptoms through the week. Dr said he has a virus.

And now he has pink eye.

They said b/c he is so young they had to do tests on him to make sure he didn't have a serious infection. So between all the needles, x-ray, catheter, and now meds, eye drops, and severe congestion, the poor guy has had quite the week. He's been needing some extra snuggles which I have been completely willing to provide.

My girl must have been jealous of all the attention since she decided yesterday would be a good day to fall out of the grocery cart and onto her head. I called her doctor and talked to the nurse who gave me a whole long list of symptoms to watch out for. She is acting like her happy, ornery, chatty, CRAZY little self, so I have decided not to take her to urgent care. It's what my gut is telling me, but I have this horrible habit of second guessing my gut. Lack of self confidence, maybe? I don't know. Last night I asked her how her head was feeling and she said, "alright, mommy."

She is talking more and more every day. It's crazy! She's starting to really put sentences together and carry on complete conversations. I seriously don't know what I would do without her. Both her and Jesse are my world! I love them more than life...
