Early Gifts

So tomorrow Isaac has pajama day at school and Seth has a pajama party on Wednesday. Unfortunately they hit a growth spurt lately and most of their pj's are pretty tight which doesn't make for a pretty sight, especially in public. So I got the bright idea to let all 3 boys open 1 carefully selected gift apiece.

Aren't their faces fabulous? I believe I heard something along the lines of: "How lucky that we picked pajamas! Now we can wear them to school!"

Yes boys, that is lucky ; )

You Are My Sunshine!

I don't like having pictureless posts and I don't really have pictures to go with this post...

...so instead you get pictures of my little model in training!

So Saturday was a bust Yudu wise. Apparently the Yudu demonstration was just a rumor, even though I called the night mefore to double check and talked to the manager to find out the specifics...hum... oh well. Well since I had taken the time to drive the hour or so to get there I decided to take the opportunity to do a little shopping. I had always wanted to check out the store 'Once Upon A Child'. I LOVE THAT STORE!

Isaac and Seth are both planning to play teeball in the spring, and although they are not required to wear cleats I don't want them to be the only ones not wearing them. So when I found a pair of Nike cleats in Seth's size for $9.50 and a pair of Adidas in Isaac's size for $8.50 I had to grab them. I also grabbed a pair of new with tags Osh Kosh pants at a steal! I will definately be shopping there again in the future!

Isaac also had another first! A first report card! And at the parent/teacher conference his teacher went on and on about how well behaved he is and how well he is doing in school. I am such a proud momma!

I love those eyes!

What made you smile today?

The Emperor's New Clothes: Take 1

My boys are so hard to dress because of their measurements. They are so slim with long legs. Isaac suffers from it the worst so I decided to make him some custom pants. I finished the first of the three pair I have started and think they turned out cute. He wanted "army pants" so I present to you Army Pants!

I used the Ottobre 1/2011 pattern book for the No Kung Fu pants in size 104 (about a 2T waist) and added length (about a 5T length). I made a few changes to the pattern. 

There is not elastic in the waist because of the tightening strap in the back. And I didn't put the zippers in the ankles because I used the tightening straps to make them more authentic.



They aren't perfect but he is happy and that is the most important thing.
