in the news

It's been pretty cold this week. Frost on the windshield, see your breath in the morning, had to make warmer pj's for the kiddos (thanks grandma:) kind of cold. Brrrr . . . we've been cooped up. And in definite need of some indoor projects to keep us sane. Me, at least.

So I turned a couple of dresses that haven't fit me since before the babies came into VERY stretchy elastic skirts. Aaahhh . . . that's better!



It was super easy. I just cut them off right at the waist. One of them I just folded right over and sewed some elastic into the top - the other one I wanted a little longer, so I added a little fabric to the top and then did the waistband thing. Much better.

As for the kids - well, Conner stays pretty busy trying to learn how to walk before he's really even crawled and Braxton's been doing quite a few projects from here and here. Thank goodness I found those. LIFESAVER.

In other good news, we're hopefully going to get an updated family picture tomorrow :) We've been in our house for over two years now and can you believe I still don't have ANY pictures hanging? Shame. But we did get these ones, thank goodness. Because man alive, these guys are growing fast.
