Yuh Me.

Just a couple of sweet shots from a gorgeous afternoon on campus.





That's not just a dance. Eli's playing "shoe ball." Sadly, the equipment did not make it home from the game. He's now shoeless.


That one there - it cracks me up!
Eli has one heckuva cute belly button.

Ooooweee! He's irresistible!

G'night!

Play

We can't get enough of wandering around this beautiful campus. Eli's new thing is to tuck a weed into his mouth like a farmer. Classic.

Amos' thing is eating anything within his grasp.

The other day I walked the boys to the park about a mile away. Then we walked to a restaurant to meet friends for lunch. On the way they both fell asleep. It was like a mini-vacation. I got to use a public restroom and eat my lunch without anyone needing me. It was super sweet.
Eli slept through lunch and all the way home and for about an hour and a half on the porch. He's 100% asleep in the above photos, eyes half open. Creepy huh?
Today we went to the Children's Museum. Elmo and Cookie Monster came to story time. FUN!
Amos fell asleep and I laid him down in the babies only area.
So sweet!
"Wake up Amos! Elmo is coming!"

Easter Fun.

Happy Easter All! It was a lovely day and the boys had a blast. Hope yours was a delight!Last night we did the Easter Bunny prep. The bunny brought a sandbox and 6 bags of sand up three flights of stairs. That's one strong bunny!
Under cover of darkness I went to work decorating the new sandy play area.
Pretty sweet.
You want to come over and play, don't you?
It was a hit!

I took about 90 of these shadow shots. Priceless.
Happy 1st Easter Amos!
Delish!
I can't tell you if that's a yawn, a hollar, or an Easter Bunny sighting.
Mmmm! Yummy boys in their sweet Easter outfits! I have been waiting to dress them in their Mama-made boat pants and it was worth the wait!
Dad and E.
The church egg hunt was oh so fun! I love this phase when I can just plunk Amos in the grass and he's content and stationary. How long you think that'll last?
Man I love these guys.
Eli's buddies, Inara and Maya met us at church for the Easter festivities. I love how not-at-all-interested they all are in the four adults waving at them trying to get them to smile and look at the cameras.
Nom nom.
Lovely lovely.
Easter snuggle.



And, here came the Easter bunny. Amos was not a fan.
But Eli got real chummy with him.
Happier here. Twins?
Home from church and back to the sandbox. And boy oh boy did the sugar kick in after that. Eli played through his nap and then was off the wall for hours. We spent the last few hours of the day letting him roam and run around campus. He was wired until Eric tucked him into bed and we haven't heard a peep since. Very unusual.

Happy Easter All!

Big News!

My little crafty buddies and I are taking our craft show on the virtual road! I have started another blog to chronicle the crafting adventures that happen around here. I have also started selling my creations on etsy.com.


I have so much fun making things with and for my sweet boys. It has been so fun to tell the tales of what we get into around here. The new blog is called Happily Home Sewn, and you can find it at HappilyHomeSewn.blogspot.com. Bookmark it and check back often! (Take a look at my newest post: Make the Shift! I was featured as a Mother of Invention on a motherhood blog called The Make Shift Revolution. Check it out here!)

Don't worry. This will still be the main place where we report on the antics of Amos and Eli.

If you'd like to see the items I have put up for sell on etsy, you can find it at:

I only have a few pieces, mostly baby/toddler pants listed so far, so check back in a bit. I'll be adding purses/diaper bags, and sweet little dresses soon!
