Yo Ho!

Pumpkin Patch

Sunday was our trip to the PP (pumpkin patch). Davis was a bit unsure of this place when we walked up, but once we went on the hay ride he was diggin' it. Shhh don't tell anyone we didn't actually buy a pumpkin :) teheheheh he won't know right?! Im not bah humbug, I just don't like carving pumpkins. I'll put it off for another year.

Done & Weekend Fun!

The diaper bag is done. It was a fun lil' project if I do say so. I think I'll take this week to regroup and figure out what to work on next. I have some great fabric burning a hole in my cupboard.

Overall it was a fun weekend. Friday night was girls night, wine, a little politics and Sex in the City movie. I didn't finish the whole movie so maybe I'll rent it one night this week while DH is traveling. Saturday was a run and a little speed shopping, I suddenly realize that shopping with little D isn't what it used to be. I feel rushed and shopping while being rushed simply isn't fun. Sunday was relaxing and a nice dinner with friends.

I realize this blog is supposed to be about "Sitting Still" and it is, although I realize I can do more of that. But...these are too fun not to share :)

First time on the big kids slide alone

Ok you caught me...this was from last weekend :) No Duck game this week.

This weeks "be a good mommy" duties:

- Not get frustrated when my son wants to do it himself (everything these days)

- Put 1/2 of his toys in a bin to pull out in a few months when he gets bored with what he has.

- Not rush!

Like you needed to know that... hahhaha ok....goood night!

HA

I don't quite know what to call this post..mainly because its so damn funny. D's daycare sent me this video via email this morning. Its such a great place, but I had to laugh that she says "here is a funny video of D singing and dancing" little did she know it was him really saying yeah, yeah, yeah...no, no, NO! Later I found out that he decided he didn't want to wear his pants so he took them off and waived them in the air and spent the afternoon in his onsie and Halloween shirt....should I be scared?! :) hahahah

Progress

I'm making progress, and the bag is turning out to be pretty fun. I hesitated using a pattern, sometimes it just makes it a little more tedious but since I hadn't made a diaper bag I thought I better this first time. Especially to learn how to do the box corners (which I heart!) and the bottle pockets....which are still in progress :) Stay tuned....

Everything but the..

Diaper Bag! I've been meaning to start this after the monkey madness and what have I been doing? Not sewing...falling asleep on the couch at 8:30pm...having a drink with dinner which really makes me tired...and again not sewing. I'm not sure if my girlfriend still reads my blog or not (the one who I'm making the diaper bag for) but I thought maybe by posting the fabric I would then be committed to starting this weekend. So here it is...the pieces are all cut and ready to go....but where did my mojo go?! I want to add a monogram to it, which got me thinking I needed a new machine! HA! Little did I know they cost about 2,000! So I found a place in Tigard that does Monogram...ok so maybe I can blame it on that. Its not really close and I would need to do that before I even start sewing :)

Tonight is a Duck game in Eugene and I'm meeting a girlfriend to run and grab coffee this morning. I've been again...really lazy! I am used to running all the time...ever since Hood To Coast, I've been lazy. So today starts a new day, and I'm back in the game.

Here are a few fun pics to brighten your weekend:

D loves walking with his Brio Walker

One of his new "tricks"

Books keep him busy

Someone had crazy hair today!

Have a great weekend ya'll....wait...whats that you say? Yes, I'll post pics Monday of some work done on the Diaper Bag :)

Simple Things

Ahh at last, a moment to post. I haven't had much time to sit and sew lately....but have had some time to photograph cutie Davis and enjoy cooking dinner.

For all you working moms out there, you may feel my pain when I say...How can we all eat dinner together after we get home from work? I get home about 5pm with Davis in tow, DH gets home about 5:30/5:45 and D is ready to eat at 5:30ish (he goes to bed about 7pm). I know that we are all supposed to eat together and I also realize that D eats better when we are eating the same thing....but seriously?! How in the world do I get a healthy delicious meal on the table by 5:30, all while spending time with my son that I haven't seen all day? Don't get me wrong, DH helps ALOT but he isn't home in time to get things cookin'. Anyway, last night I screwed the "eating together" idea and fed Davis his own dinner at 5:30ish...then after he went down I poured a great glass of wine and whipped up a Chicken Tetrazini. I can honestly say that this was the first time in a long time that I actually enjoyed cooking a meal. It wasn't rushed, it wasn't messy and I didn't have a time constraint. It was tasty too! I took a pic, and if you want the recipe let me know.

Davis is really liking the front stairs outside, I think he likes to climb up and down them and sit by himself on the steps...maybe he thinks he is a big boy now that he is one?! :)

Look at how he fell asleep the other night? I went in and snapped a few pics.

Can you guess what he is going to be for Halloween?

Ok, its been one of those weeks...so before this blog gets negative (maybe it already was?) I think I'll call it a night.
