I've been using up the last of my free time the past couple days baking and crafting. The bread braid recipe I got from my good friend Lisa, wow! They were awesome and so easy to make. Austin has requested a pinata for his birthday. I'm cheap, plus I couldn't find one that he would like, he's really into bugs and crawly things. I decided to make one, and will never make one again. It wasn't hard but it took a lot of time and was very tedious.
Lily and I also made about a dozen hair bows for her and the baby (sorry, no picture). Some were the simple glue a flower on a clip, others I folded fabric to make. The boys come back Monday and my free time will be gone, but I think I've made the most of it and it has been the most relaxing last couple of weeks of a pregnancy I've ever had. No hurry up and get here baby!
Two days before Amelia was born we celebrated Austin's 5th birthday. We had a fun time with cake, homemade ice cream and a pinata. He loves all things boy and while fishing the other day he collected a couple of little water snakes, thankfully they didn't make it home. He's so fascinated by nature and it's fun to watch him explore and learn. He starts kindergarten this year, time flies.
A couple of more baby pictures of our growing girl. She's starting to get on a better schedule now and sleeping a little better at night. She's so fun to have around.
