January

Family Photo. Handsome was really trying to make a happy face. :)

To wake up and see this. I loved it!

Inside fun during all the rainy days.

Love to Create!

Ok, now that Christmas is over my mind has settled on two things. 1) I am actually pregnant and a baby will be arriving in my home in just a few short months! and 2) I have to get ready now before September and ideally before Baby comes to have all of Handsome's homeschooling ready to go, because I will not want to be doing it when I have a cute, adorable, new baby in my arms! Gladly, Baby will be 5 months old when Kindergarten starts for Handsome. I am so looking forward to homeschooling!

This has lead to MEGA nesting! (The actual first time I feel that I have time to nest out of the 3 children)

This has lead oddly to me wanting to be creating things, and although baby things are a want, some things for Gorgeous were a need. So here is what I have been up to lately.

New slippers, ok, these were the Christmas Eve slippers, but I didn't get a good shot of them then, so here they are. I LOVE them! Handsome has ones with rockets on them. :)


New pants for Gorgeous. I made them out of an old t-shirt of mine. She is in desperate need of pants that do not show her lower backside when bending over. These do the trick. :)


Headbands. For some reason the 2 I had previously made vanished. So more were made. Reversible too. Now I just want to make the cute fabric flowers to clip on to them.


And since Gorgeous was getting all the attention, Handsome insisted that Buzz needed a picture too. So here he is, and no I did not make him, or anything for him.

Our Christmas Pictures

Ok, so these are very late! But I wanted to get them up. Our Christmas. It was a fun, good Christmas. I was busy the week before making and preparing Christmas gifts. But was so happy when the night before I could go to bed at a decent hour.

For Christmas Eve we did a Rowley family get together, that was fun. Then at home each child got to open their special "Christmas Eve" present. Which was slippers made by mommy. They were so cute, if I do say so myself. :)

Christmas morning the kids sleep until their usual time, 7am. I let them get into their stockings, and then it was a family breakfast of eggs, ham, and toast, before presents could be opened. I love being able to enjoy our time together and take things one at a time. Presents were opened one at a time from youngest to oldest, so we could all "ooh" and "aah" over each thing. :)

Gorgeous ready for her first present to be opened.


A super hero cape made with love from mommy!

Dinosaur dress up for Handsome


Ok, this was the star of the show. Buzz! Who still to this day is the most played with toy. Thanks Santa!


Gorgeous got from Mommy my old Maple Town set. A special treasured toy from my childhood that thankfully my mom took such good care of all of these years so I could pass it on to my own daughter! (If you don't know what Maple Town is, they are little toy animals, that are dressed and each has a role as mom, dad, sister, baby, etc. I would play with these for hours! Never did like Barbie, it was Maple Town all the way for me!)



And from Daddy to Handsome, a treasured Lego set from his childhood that his mother had gone to great lengths to save and preserve for him. I don't know who was more excited about the gift, dad or Handsome? :)

It was a great Christmas. I love the age of my children now, there seems to be a special magic to the whole thing. :)
