orthotics

well my son has orthotics now. they are little boots that we strap on that stabilize his ankle and help him learn the correct way to stand (i had to choose a design for them, i chose skateboarders). they were expensive but i do think they are helping. so enjoy the pictures of his awesome shoes (you have to buy a size up and make sure they are wide enough) and of him standing and pushing his toy.

hurray for zoo passes

today we went to the zoo and got our zoo passes!!! we are so excited to be able to go to the zoo whenever it is open and plan to spend lots of time there.

dress up space

i have been trying to find a better solution for my daughter's dress up clothes. throwing them in a bin is not working. she can never find anything. i have seen many cute ideas on pinterest and blogs but they always required me to add more furniture to my daughter's already small room. then the other day i had an idea. why not clear a space in her bookshelf and add a tension rod. so far it is working well.

heart sandwiches

i made heart peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for audrey and i today. i just used one of my heart cookie cutters and it worked great.

im a winner, again!!

i won another prize. this one was from family fun magazine. it was for stuff from author mo willems. i got 4 pigeon books, pigeon silly bands, window clings, a game and a plush pigeon. yeah!! audrey is so excited and i have to say those books are pretty awesome and funny.

my "new" pants

after my "what scares me" fashion challenge i realized that i will never wear those white pants outside the house. its just too risky. so i dyed them this weekend. now they are a cranberry color. its not exactly the purple i was looking for but i like them and have even worn them 2 times. hurray for rit dye. i have used that stuff to dye pants, dresses and even converse shoes.

valentines day

audrey and i had matching shirts and headbands for valentines day. i made the headbands last year, i got the idea from a blog. and the shirts i whipped up this weekend from an idea in my favorite magazine: family fun.
