Schedules, Hands, 4wd, and Julie Andrews

Life has been crazy!
Which I guess is really normal for us.
Koda is actually working a kind of schedule.
10 days.
5 off.
10 nights.
We are on the sucky side of that schedule.
Blah.
This past week we didn't get any scheduled preschool in.
But we did get to spend wonderful time with our daddy and husband.
We also had a checkup for Miss Page.
All is healing well.
Maybe within a year to eighteen months her hand will look better.
I'm mostly excited that the next trip to the city is in 3 months instead of 1.
The weather here has been CRAPPY!
Like as in it froze the other night.
Snow this morning.
Mud everywhere.
To visit me you must have 4wd.
Dead serious.
I hate the mud!!!
But on a happier note.
I've been on a Julie Andrews kick.
Sound of Music, watched last night.
Mary Poppins, tonight.
Princess Diaries, tomorrow?
Hmmmm what's some of your favs?

I'm going to go to bed.
Night to you all!

A is for Apple

"The A says ahhh
The A says ahh
Every letter makes a sound the A says ahhh"

I've heard that song all week long.
Yes my girls LOVE the movie Leap Frog Letter Factory.

So as you can guess we learned about A this week.

Our week consisted of,
Aa sorting/matching.
Aa Do-a-dots, we actually got some bingo markers at the $1 Store, they did really good with them!
A is for Apple coloring page, Daisy actually traced the Aa for the first time! I'd say she did pretty darn good.
Apple pre-writing pages.
Read The adventures of Abby Alligator.
Mini Book Who Ran Away.
And A vocab cards.
Starfall.
And Letter Factory!!!

We also read 10 Apples up on Top by Dr. Suess and did apple print painting, drew a picture with 10 apples on our heads, and tried to have 10 apples...umm really 1 apple on  our head.

Our theme this month is Fall!

So we did a Fall tot book and had a fall themed sensory tub.

Also to go with our Fall theme we started reading Charlotte's Web.

They really enjoyed this week and so did I!

Next up L is for Leaves!!

Panties in a Bin

This is our panty bin in our bathroom.

This helps Daisy to change her underwear quickly if any changes are needed.

Plus it keeps all the clothes drawers intact.

:)

Also a fun little book for her to read when she potties if she wants too. 

 It's so nice to have all the potty training and diapering in one place.

Makes life easy for this busy momma.

What are your little tricks for potty training?

Cover for a lil' cowboy

I made a cover for Lacie back in August.

Sorry couldn't find the picture.

So she later contacted me 

about making a carseat cover for her friend.

It was for a little cowboy.

I found this AWESOME material!

I LOVE it!!!

So I went back to get some more....guess what all gone....

I'm sad....

But I think it turned out really cute!

Diaper Bags are Awesome

Or at least the ones I make are.
Or so I'm told.

Michelle's Diaper Bag

My friend put her order in to have me make her a diaper bag back when I made mine in April.
Only she added in plenty of extras.
Which was just fine.
It made me think and learn some new things.

Pockets and Zippered Divider inside

I'm so happy with how they've turned out!
So are a lot of other girls.
I've had lots ask about them.

Divider pulls out.

I need to find a price to charge per hour so I can make a tiny bit of profit.
I mean Michelle's diaper bag took 9 hrs to make.
I also made her a cute car seat cover.

Car seat cover

This is another thing that is in high demand.
Yet another reason to find a small price to charge.
I love making them and I love doing custom work.
I want to make people happy with what I can make them.

Yes I take pictures on my tramp with my totally awesome kid pool in the background. So sue me. 

So what do you think?
Aren't they cute?
What amount should I place upon my time?
I don't know.

PS The tutorial I kinda follow for the diaper bag is found at Moda Bake Shop.
