As we were out and about today, freezing in this 16 degree weather, we stumbled across this steeler's superfan. We came back about an hour later with a camera and he was still there! Without gloves. Did I mention it was 16 degrees? He was maybe 10 years old. They train them young around here! Go Steelers! Not that I'll be watching the game, seeing as it's Sunday and all :)

Give Away

The good news is I have something for a boy and something for a girl to give away. The bad news is that of course it's for a BABY boy and a BABY girl, not something an adult would want if they don't have little ones. Wipes case, burp cloths, and hair clips, pretty much the 3 things I know how to make. So I guess I'll need to figure out how to make something new and maybe for an adult if I ever want to do another give away. Stay tuned for that (like maybe sometime before next January to be realistic!

Leave a comment by midnight Sunday Feb. 1. Specify if you want to be entered for the boy or girl items or both.

BOY: 1 diaper wipes case and 2 burp cloths

GIRL: 4 flower hair clips

penguins and sunglasses

We're going homeopathic around here. We need to cleanse our auras, detox our intestines, realign our chi's, remove all our metal tooth fillings, so on and so forth. So I've decided to use a more natural way of charting Aubrey's growth. The penguin. She is currently 5 inches taller then the average Gentoo penguin, so obviously, she is right on target for growth.

(She is currently in the 95% for height and 25% for weight)

(Also, it's crazy how she's changed so much, but look at those eyes in each picture, they are so HER in each and every one!)

Aubrey's also been really into wearing glasses lately. After she wouldn't take of these mr. potato head ones, Zach went and bought her a sassy pair just her size.

Lastly I wanted to clarify when I was talking about not spending time reading blogs that were just kid pictures I meant of complete strangers. I LOVE reading about my friends kids. But don't you think it'd be a bit weird if I subscribed to a stranger's blog just to oogle their kids? That's what I meant I don't do. So the complete strangers that I read are because their blog has something unique from them, like they live in some exciting/exotic place that I like hearing about, they are really talented funny writers, or they share lots of crafty ideas, or pretty photographs, or occasionally, just if they seem super cool, b/c then the middle schooler in me comes out and I want to be just like them. But I do love kid posts. Hello, have you seen MY blog?
