Funny Faces :oP

Strange day for pictures . . . . . . . . Sebastian would close his eyes shut everytime I tried to take a picture of him and Alerina would make fish-lips (moyong) faces at me when I try to take pictures of her - Silly Kids!

My little project

When someone is a mother-to-be, I try to make their baby a blanket. This time around, I wanted to make something else. I search and search for a pattern that was easy enough for me to understand and did not take up too much time to do. Well, I came across a short, little cardigan for little girls. It only took me 1 ball of 3.5 ounces of yarn, which normally a blanket is at least, 16 ounces of yarn and it took me only 2 weeks to do!!! I'm soooo going to keep this pattern for future use . . . . . . . . . now . . . . if only I can find a pattern for little boys . . . . . . . . . . the search continues!!!

Here is the sample picture of the cardigan:



Here is the version I did:

Here is the one on my Model ;o)

Sebastian's New Toy :o)

We have found a toy that Sebastian played with for hours and hours. I kid you not, this toy kept him entertain for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time!!! It was really cute to watch him play because the look on his face was just priceless . . . . . . it was a concentration/thinking look as he strategized which tunnel to use! He had FUN playing with it, as long as, sister did not touch it or pull the parts apart!

Spring is in the air!!

Spring has finally arrived in good ol' Marion. It was 72 degrees this past Sunday! I have never seen sooo people out and about since I've been here . . . . everybody and I mean, EVERYBODY was out!! It was like a spring kick-off party because the streets were filled with people. You had kids out and having FUN and you had the adults, cleaning the garage and taking out the outdoor goods, and of course, every other house had someone working on the yard. We were one of those people because Bac was out doing yard work, I was cleaning the garage, and the kids, well . . . . playing on whatever they can get their hands on :o)

The people here sure was not kidding around when they say things grow pretty quickly around here. Just about 5 weeks ago, everything was brown . . . so not pretty after the snow melted away. But now . . . . everywhere you go, it's nice and green. The grass is green and the trees are starting to bloom. Definitely Spring-like!!

With the weather being so nice and warm, Alerina finally got to wear her new espadrilles.
