I'm over teething

So, Easton just cut his 10th tooth and this one was his roughest..teething has not been that bad for Easton, but this tooth..it sucked.  I came into his room the other morning and found my sweet boy with blood all over his face, ears, hands and clothes.  After a quick panic since he is on antibiotics for an ear infection and I panicked thinking and eardrum ruptured since there was a lot of blood in and near his ear.  Nope, ears were fine..I looked into his mouth and there was a HUGE blood blister were his new tooth was trying to come in....I have never had a tooth do that this bad.  I ended up having to change his sheets..and I hate changing crib sheets and stain treating the feet of this PJ's.  It did crack me up to find his feet all chewed on!!
okay, this doesn't look that bad, but as much as I hate changing sheets, it must have been bad for me to change them!
poor baby:(
Tooth #10 is all in now and we are happy and relatively clean!

I found a boy craft

I should maybe preface this with I found a slightly feminine boy craft..per my husband.  I love getting crafty during nap time and I almost always do girl crafts because...well, almost all crafty stuff is geared towards girls. Not all, but most.  So, I made these during nap time last week and I loved them..Bradley died a little bit inside when he saw them, but hey..the boys are 3 and 11 months..I won't dress them like this when their 12:)  And yes, I did make a matching belt (Bradley died a little more at that), but that was a separate craft day and that was all I got done during that 2 hr nap time.  Charlie likes to wear belts, but he has trouble with regular belts..getting them off and on.  This one he can get off on his own..so no accidents=happy mama!
And while I get this is not every one's style...OMGoodness, I think they look stinking adorable in them!!

burn baby, burn

So, I mentioned eairler that I was burning flower-bows..I cannot remember the link that gave me the idea, but if you google it you can get the super simple how to...anyhoo, I wanted to try it out one day.  Problem was the boys were down for a nap and I did not have the right material..or did I?  I have my prom dress hanging in a extra closet..and why I still have it..no clue.  But I did and it was the right material!  So, I got busy and started whipping up what I call prom bows!  I saved some in case I someday have a girl, and the others will be party favors (for the girls) for Eastons birthday party!  The prom bows are the white bows and the other ones are rosette flowers..google them for a tutorial..they are simple and spice up anything!


In addition to cutting up my prom dress I also cut up the scarf from my bridesmaid dress from my brothers wedding.  And yes, you know I tried it on..and yes, it still fits.  I was 16 when my oldest brother got married.so, it still fits almost 16 years later.  No,  I am not small, I'm sure I was just a large 16 yr old!!


I had a helper..:)
Charlie wanted for us to take a picture of each other at the same time!  Pardon the potty in the back ground..at least its flushed:)
You know I tried on the prom dress too!  I tried to pose with my fancy scarf and I cant believe I forgot to put on my gloves for the picture...while the dresses still fit, I don't think I needed spank the first time around!!

reduce, reuse, recycle

So, I did reuse and recycle, but we can pretend I reduced??
I sat down to watch Tv the other night and took this Valentine oneise..that I loved btw
It said "Owl be your Valentine"..come on!

And made a sweet hand-me-down for my sweet friends little girl!..in about 20 min!
I got this idea and tutorial from a craft blog I follow and for the life of me I cannot remember which one...but I take no credit for this..I just copied someone elses idea!
These burned flowers are quickly becoming a new favorite!!
