Just a catch up post here as I have been a bad blogger lately, and sadly I haven't been super busy just feeling tired and sore, thanks to my not sleeping at night and then working out yesterday on the darn elliptical and it's evil resistance levels.
I still think the elliptical makes a great coat rack, as a matter of fact that is it's other job! ;)
The birthday's went off without a hitch it was very low key this year. For Jentry's we had pizza with 3 friends & had a galactic good time with all things Star Wars. Ya gotta love boys who eat drink and breath all things George Lucas!
Then for Brinley's she choose to eat her birthday dinner at McDuck's aka McDonald's or as Corbin affectionately calls it Old McDonald's. :) She is now the proud owner of some new Littlest Pet shop creatures and loves them.
La' Heart Party!
Then yesterday I decided to get a little craftiness going and made a Valentine Tutu for Addison. I am hoping to get her some baby legs made & then I'll take some pics. I have such sad pathetic sewing skills so don't look too close.
And while all the above was going on we (as in Lloyd and I) have been stripping paint off of the "new" doors for the TV hutch and we still have a ways to go but it's getting there.
So glad the bdays went off with hitches!
ReplyDeleteLove the tutu you made. Adorable and can't wait to see it with the baby legs, too!
Phew~ that door is a lot of work but will look so awesome when it's finished!
Happy day wishes~ Les
I already told my husband..if every child is awake at 8pm..I will be in the den..with the door shut! So ready for LOST!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your birthday pictures!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great tutu? You will have to post pics when she wears it!
ReplyDeleteLove the cake and the tutu great job! I can't wait for Lost I am so excited! Happy birthday to your babies!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! I do not know how you manage five kids and do amazing crafts, and strip paint? I have four kids and I don't get done half what you do, nor do I have the talent. Can't wait to see Lost!
ReplyDeleteI love the tutu! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteHappy bday to the kiddos!
I love the little touches you did with the Star Wars guys and the little hearts on the cake. You are too cute!

So fun! Totally inspired to make my Miss O a "7" shirt for her birthday. Everything you whip up is a-dor-a-ble!
ReplyDeleteI have a Star Wars addict at my house too! Cute tutu!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your babies! I love the picture of the heart party stuff--it all looks so cute! I think my daughter needs to have a heart birthday...but her birthday isn't until December. Hmmm...maybe I'll surprise them with a heart thing for Valentine's Day.

Love the Tutu love the cute parties...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOST!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will so come back and comment a little more....love that cake! I must go get prepared for my girls party for saturday. I'm a crazy errand runner today.
ReplyDeleteCome by and give me some b-day food ideas, I need help girlfriend.
Looks like the kids enjoyed their birthday's! May keep the star war's cup cake idea in the back of my head for May. Crap you should have invited Tob, he would have loved it! I know stripping pain is bad, real BAD but I think you would rather do that then give birth to triplets. Really then you have to house them, birth them, and keep them :0) Love the little tutu.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lot going on! Your kids are so adorable. And wow... LOVING that door.
ReplyDeleteoh i'm so excited for all these little tidbits! i just made sof a tutu, but it was def no sew for time. i like yours a lot! maybe next week when hubs is back! love the pics and the heart party! soooo fun!
ReplyDeleteOk Rachel, so really... when do you have time to do all this stuff!!??? I really love the tutu, Emree would have such fun in one. So if you make another call me so I can come and see how to do it.I wish I was as motivated to get things done, and that they would turn out so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm virtually hypnotizing you to want to make one of those tu-tu's for my Madelyn...is it working yet? :P
ReplyDeleteI love that tutu! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe birthdays were very cute and neat. Your sewing skills make you look like Vera Wang compared to mine!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all-the shirt is darling! OF course you made it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on the valentine cake and stuff. I don't know what my problem is. 6's birthday is on the 8th and I have never thought to do the heart stuff. I will copy and then take pictures and then proudly take the credit!
Thanks so much for the words. I am thrilled to be back from hell!!
I must get to crafting. I must clean the craft room, i must be able to see the table before I craft.
Lame little things. Kind of like laundry and children.
Thanks again-your words made my night!
A) Your photography is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteB) L O V E the tutu!!
C) My favorite quote of the day, "I'd rather give birth to triplets naturally than..."
Funny Girl!
What cute birthday pictures!! And that bench is to die for!
ReplyDeleteI bet your kids have no idea what an awesome mom they have. You never cease to amaze me. Did you watch all three hours of Lost? I'm a die hard fan myself, my last weakness. Well, one of my last ones anyway :)
ReplyDeleteYou have been so busy! Happy Birthday to your kids!
ReplyDeleteCute too too! Your camera takes really good pictures. I like the lighting nad the coloring is so nice and bright and sharp.
ReplyDeleteLike your comment about the eliptical as a coat rack. hahahaha
Your love and devotion to your children is so sweet. Their days of growing up go by sooo fast, I know you will make MANY happy memories for them. Have a blessed Sunday.
