Lots of Pictures
Yup, I disappeared again. Sorry!
How about a bunch of pictures?! Will you forgive me then?
We've started working on potty training. I wish I could say it was going well. But he does like to sit on the potty and get a sticker...Haha
We've had just a few really nice spring-weather days. It's been nice to get outside. Ethan loves the park. He looks so grown up!
Ethan LOVES his race tracks!!
Maw-Maw sent Ethan some Easter window clings. He's been really enjoying them!!
Notice the poor bunny's ears are detached from his head! haha
One month ago, Hannah turned 6m old
She is growing such a personality! (and some crazy hair!!)
Hannah enjoyed her first time at the park! She likes to swing!
She has mastered pulling up to a standing position
And she's pretty good at scooting backwards. She is also alarmingly close to crawling forward!!
She often gets stuck UNDER things!
Today, Hannah turned 7 months old
We went to visit the Easter Bunny (sorry, these are pictures of pictures)
Ethan made a foam Easter egg with foam stickers!
Hannah chewed on the stroller - and smiled!
The Easter Bunny came to our house!!
MawMaw and PawPaw sent baskets too!
Happy Easter!

Trying to be crafty!!
I did not get the full-blown crafty gene that my Mom has....but every once in a while, I surprise myself with what I can do!
Ethan will be starting pre-school in August (I know, I know. I don't want to talk about it!!!). Anyway, he will need a blanket for rest time. I decided I would make him a blanket now so that he could start using it for naps at daycare. Then when it comes time to transition to preschool, the blanket will be something familiar and hopefully make it easier on him.
A quick google search turned up 9 million ways to make a no-sew fleece blanket. I followed these directions and was pleasantly surprised how easy it really was!!! And what's really nice is - it's OK if your cutting isn't perfect!
Lay out the fleece on your floor
Cut the corners
I used a scrap off the fleece to "measure" my cuts for my knot strips
Make these cuts on all 4 sides
Tie every other fringe into a double knot. Then flip it over and tie the remaining strips into a double knot.
TaaDaa!! Total cost for NCAA fleece and red fleece = $22!! It could be done for much less $$ if you don't want licensed material.
Ethan's is KU on one side and red on the other
I think he approves!!

Beautiful Spring Day!!
Despite yesterday's 2" of snow that fell on my back deck - today was absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Leave it to Kansas to drop 2" of snow on Monday and then be almost 60* on Tuesday! Whatever, I'll take it!
We got outside with the kids for some much needed fresh air!! Ethan and I had fun blowing and chasing bubbles. He pushed Hannah up and down the cul-de-sac at least 5 times. Then Daddy came home and kicked the soccer ball with Ethan while Mommy finished dinner.
"Push Hannah, this way!!"
Please Spring............stay for a while!!!!

Happy 5 (and a half!) Months!!
I know, I know. I made that resolution to blog more and I totally failed during February. In my defense, everyone in this house was sick for the entire month. Seriously. It has been about 6 weeks since we have all been healthy at the same time. I had strep for the first time in quite a few years, and that was on top of my ear infection and my sinus infection. Hannah had bronchitis, and Ethan had such a horrible respiratory virus - we actually thought he may have had pneumonia......one chest xray and some bloodwork later - no pneumonia. Phew! And poor Charlie, he got some variation of all of the above. Seriously, good riddance to February! Hopefully March will start bringing some warmer weather - though, this morning's snow was nto a good start to Spring Break - and then the germs can make a mass exit!
So, while I've been gone - Hannah turned 5 months old, is wearing 6 - 9 month clothes, started sitting up, started eating oatmeal cereal and sweet potatoes (and her toes!), and grew a tooth!! Yeah, she's growing up WAY too fast!
She is such a laid back baby. She only really fusses when she needs something and she's always full of smiles after a long day! It's like we can't ever remember a time when she wasn't part of our family!
Sweet Potato Face!! Can you see the tooth?!
Are you ready to eat, Hannah?
What do you mean it's all gone?!?!?
