Yoo-hoo!

I'm baaaaaack! So much has been going on since my last post and the blogging and projects took a bit of a backseat. In nutshell this has been my life for the last 3 months:

-Found out we are pregnant with baby #3. All is well, I am now 24-weeks and feel like a cow.
-Husband injured his knee which put him out of work as a firefighter and in an office job with the department (thank God he still had a job!).
-In-laws stayed with us for a very long, grueling month to "help us out"....did it help? NO! Will they be staying with us for this long again? NO!
-My little boy started crawling, turned 1 and started walking. The baby-proofing starts again!
-My little girl, who is almost 3 years old, has been busy with art and dance classes. On top of this we are beginning to get a glimpse of what life will look like with a teenager...JOY!

What about my projects? I've actually gotten some things done believe it or not!
-Made a few squares for a "memorial" quilt for a friend (that will be my next post) and quilted the pieced quilt.
-Made the brown/blue/green quilt that I had posted about.
-Made a baby quilt for friend.
-Made a diaper bag for another friend.
-Sewed a dress for my daughter...my first creation made primarily without the help of my mom!
-Just started the squares for a t-shirt quilt for my husband.
-Finished stenciling a wall in my daughter's bedroom.
-Stenciled some cute jungle animals in my son's bedroom.
-Painted my craft/sewing room.
-Scrapbooked a few pages in my daughter's album and started one in my son's album.

I'm done!

After the super strange day I've had today (started with finding a missing child on a super busy downtown street and ended with yet another car accident...the 2nd one in a month) I'm not super motivated to do much project-wise. I did, however, manage to get the diaper bags (yes, there are multiple) and the activity box for the car pack.

Diaper bag checklist:

• change of clothes for both kids (including socks)
  
• plenty of size 4 diapers (yes, my 2-year old and my 9-month old are in the same size diapers!!)
• refill the wipes case

Car activity box checklist:

• couple extra diapers
• disposable placemats
• coloring book & crayons for the toddler
• travel-size Magna Doodle---this is crucial for the toddler to enjoy the car ride
  
• large, soft toys for the baby
• one jar of baby food and a couple plastic baby spoons
• 2 sun hats
• sidewalk chalk--for a just-in-case-we're-at-a-park-and-don't-want-to-play-at-the-playground activity
  
• non-perishable snacks (Goldfish & gummy fruit snacks for the toddler and Gerber Puffs & Cheerios for the baby)

Tomorrow should be more productive...I'm taking a sewing class and learning how to make some pajama pants!

And now, I'm kicking my feet up and waiting for the super-awesome husband to return home with a caramel frappucino! YUM!
