Things we do

Sorry Stacey, I stole the title of this post from you. It just seemed appropriate. :) These are some of the things we've been doing to keep ourselves entertained lately.

Well, technically this first one doesn't fit that category, but I didn't want to do a separate post just for this picture.  Don't kids look angelic while they sleep?

This is something I've been doing...though I'm not sure I would call it entertainment. ;)

Emilia likes to help me in the kitchen, especially if it involves flour and mixing stuff.  She's really good about it, so we both enjoy it.

This was Emilia's first bubble bath.  I know, how could she have waited until she was 2 1/2 to try bubbles in the bathtub, right?  It's all my fault.  I just didn't think of it until I saw it on sale in one of my Avon books.  She thought it was pretty great.

I've been doing a lot of sewing.  This is a diaper bag that I made for Ben's wife Haylee.  I was proud of how it turned out.

Then the other day, I came across a recipe for homemade playdough.  We only have 4 colors and they are all neon, so I thought some homemade stuff in some normal colors would be a good addition.  I had my upstairs neighbor who has a 6 month old eating baby food save some of the containers for me.  It worked out perfectly.  If you want the recipe, I found it here: http://www.k-3teacherresources.com/play-dough-recipe.html.  But I halved it and it was plenty for us.  Emilia was just excited because I made light pink.

I also finished Emilia's quilt for her room, which I was very excited about.  You'll see it when I take pictures of the finished stuff.  Sometime soon we're going to switch our bedroom for hers so the girls will have more room (our room is currently the bigger one, but it's HUGE so we don't need that much space.  It will work much better as a bedroom/playroom for the girls.

We do a lot of shopping too, but I won't take pictures of that. :)

It's starting to get warm, so I'm crossing my fingers that we'll have an early spring this year instead of a late one like the last two years.  Then we can just entertain ourselves outside for a few hours a day.  Yea!
