Valentine's Package

Brady got a package in the mail from Grandma for Valentine's Day.  I let him open it right up and dig in.  There was a hotwheels of his that he left there and a cell phone.  He spent the next 20 minutes alternating items up to his ear as a phone "hello" over and over again. 

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

THANKS GRANDMA!!!

Art Class pics

I took a few pictures on Wednesday at art class that I couldn't just not share.

This one is my absolute favorite.  This is Aubrey.  Brady loves her, like really loves her.  He talks about her all week all day long.  Aubrey Aubrey Aubrey is what I hear.  Aubrey made Brady a valentine and this is her giving it to Brady.  They were both totally unsure why we were forcing them to interact.  It was adorable.

 

And of course puppy dog pics.  No lie, he walks right in each week and finds this grubby dog and lugs him around the whole time.

  

  

And lastly, silly pics on the pirate ship.  He wasn't totally sure how to use the telescope.  He kept putting up to his mouth and forehead. 

 

  

This one cracks me up, he looks all dopey eyed.

 

 

Trip to the Aquarium

Yesterday I was afraid I would lose my mind if we sat in the house for another day so we packed up and went to the Aquarium in Boston.  It was a weekday so it wasn't too crowded which was great for Brady to be able to run and burn off all his energy.  He ran from one end to the other and back again.  Its nearly impossible to take good pictures in there so that's why this one is so crappy but I thought it was cute.  He was so excited to see the penguins.

 

The rest of the pictures are from an outdoor exhibit with seals.  

  

  

  

  

 

Brrr...... its chilly out

We have been trying to go outside whenever we can.  We made it out there this afternoon.  It looked way nicer out than it really was.  It was super windy but that didn't stop Brady.

Lots of Pics from today

I took lots of pictures today so here they are.  I'm too tired to comment on each pic, I think you can just figure it out.  And yes, that's my sexy husband in his spandex pants.   HOT!!!  Haha.

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

   

  

  

  

  

 

I am going to totally brag about myself

So, I have always wanted to learn to sew.  My Nan sewed everything my whole life and I can't believe I never asked her to teach me.  When I was home for Christmas Nan gave me a sewing machine she has had for a few years (Its from 1987 to be exact).  I shamefully admit it has been sitting in the bottom of the dining room closet since then.  Today I decided to get it out and try while my boys were napping.  I can't believe it, I was able to understand the instruction booklet.  Holy crap!!  So tonight I went out to get some materials to make felt food, which is something I have been bookmarking on my computer to try once I learned to sew.  Here are my creations for tonight:

Eggs

 

Pancakes

  

Bacon

  

Obviously it was a breakfast theme I was going for tonight.  What do you think??

 

I just google searched felt food and guesstimated how to make them.  I think they look as realistic as felt food can look made by a first-timer.
