Babies who empty shelves

I remember this with each of my babies... the compulsion to empty all shelves of books all the time.  It is the downside of having so many books in the house.  Here is what the babies were up to while I was making meatloaf:


(L. in yellow and G. in pink)

And its the only way to get a picture of these girls.  I try and try to get good pictures and all they do is crawl right up to the camera and try to put the lens cap on the camera.  I end up with a lot of shots of eyes and noses.  They are a lot of fun now with all they can do and seeing their personalities develop, but I kind of miss the days when they were immobile and I could take pictures of them together to my heart's content.  I foresee a lot of  pictures of them tied down strapped into their stroller.

What fun! Have they discovered unrolling the toilet paper yet? Or dumping out a whole box of Cheerios?

From the picture, I think G. knows full well that she is NOT supposed to be into the books. Ha! Ha! Of course, maybe this way they will be early readers!

Looking closer at the pic I noticed all of the Vietnamese cookbooks. So far, I have only mastered spring rolls. I need to learn to make PHO because it is Evan's favorite.

"Here is what the babies were up to while I was making meatloaf"

This just struck me as the most hilarious phrase!!

It looks like they play nicely together!

Love the baby fix.

Another method to photograph your wiggly babies is to incorporate bigger people in the picture. if they are cuddling with older siblings or with you and J, you may have better luck. They still won't be still for long, but maybe you'll get one or two pictures! :)

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

Image
We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
