Kids, Kids, and More Kids

On Monday we had a houseful of kids over for lunch (6 boys and 1 girl, to be exact). Carter has said to me before that he is happy when his friends come over because he likes to laugh with them. It is so cute to see all of their fun personalities together and to see them laugh together. I am glad that our family has such good friends here in Wisconsin.

My Sweet Boys

This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find Carter reading to Britton. Carter has grown up to be such a great big brother. He loves Britton and, in return, Britton loves him, too. It's moments like these that make me happy to be a mother.

Britton's New Bedding

This is my newest project. Britton had the cutest cowboy crib set that I made him right before he was born. I had to put it all away because the mattress needed to be lowered which made the bed skirt drag. Plus Britton started using the crib bumper as a step to get out of his crib. Because of that his room now looks very bare. I didn't want to spend any money on new bedding because I am hoping in the next year or so I'll have the boys share the room but only if Britton becomes a better roommate! So Britton and I went down into my basement and we went shopping through my business fabrics. He picked the airplane fabric out and I put minky with it (he loves minky). It only took me an hour to do the pillow case and the blanket which is quilted and bound, too. Dang I have gotten fast!! It is so rewarding to make things for my boys because they appreciate it so much. He loves it!

Carter's Drawings

Carter drew some pictures of some family members. Take a look because they are quite funny. This one is of a very happy Aunt Zizi. (Linzi)



This is one of Chris.



And this one is of me. I look like I haven't slept in days. Should I be worried about what my boys think of me?  :0)
