Crochet Animals

I bought a book with instructions on how to make about 30 different kinds of animals and this was my first try.  It did have feet but they looked dumb so I took them off.  It only took me about 3 hours not bad with all the interuptions.  Or the clean up of all the stuffing that Henry spread across the living room.  He had fun but I will be cleaning it up for days. 

Kaisa and Henry

On Thursdays I watch Kaisa while her mom goes to a meeting and today she and Henry are doing good together.  Some days I feel good just to keep Henry from throwing things at her.  He is such a boy.

The clutz woman

I honestly don't remember what could have caused this horrible bruise.  Its still there and it has been over a week.  You would think I would remeber something that woudl cause that but no.  Rob thinks I hit him in my sleep he probably deserved it if I did.   

Snow........Kinda

It snowed and I was excited because the flakes were huge!  Of course they all melted when the hit the ground but look how beautiful the flakes were.

Potty Training

I put if off so many times because I wasn't ready to deal with the messes that come with it!  Poor Henry!  Finally one day I thought he was taking a nap but he pooped and decided to change himself........and you can guess what happened.  I guess if I am going to have to clean it up anyway I might as well do it right.  I think I waited long enough that he mostly trained himself and we are doing great its been almost two weeks and I have only done one jean/underware load this week.  He can't decide which toliet he likes better so he uses both, I think he likes the potty chair because then he gets to rinse it out and play in the water.  I wish he wouldn't run around the house before putting his underware back on but I guess its a boy thing.  Or maybe a toddler thing.  The other day he pinched his bum cheeks in the potty chair and insisted that I put bandaids on them so I put little circular ones on, I just laughed what else do you do?  He is still in a diaper at night but he sleeps pretty hard and has wet during his nap a few times including today.  I really with I hadn't let him fall asleep on the couch now I have cushion to clean.  Why do I keep trying to avoid messes?  I have a child.

The Model Train Show

It took me long enough to get these pictures on here!  Henry had a blast and then a meltdown when we left but it was fun!!
