little red

five months ago i had the best of intentions. i saw a version of this little red jacket online and thought little girl should have one, as well as four of her cousins. five little jackets didn't seem too difficult, especially because i was heading into my second trimester about then and was about to have this burst of energy.

well, the burst of energy never came. most days i still nap when little girl does -- and needless to say, this project just kept getting pushed off.

but this past week, i finally finished the last of the five jackets -- little girl's. (thanks to my mom's help!) just in time for one or two wears before spring hits the midwest. (great timing, huh?!)

i always wonder where those crafty bloggers find time for making all their cute stuff. and many of them with more kids then me running under toe. i have far too many ideas and ambitions for the hours i have in the day and just hope one day i do get that awesome super power to freeze time.

(i told little girl that we needed to take pictures of her new jacket, which ended up with her just wanting to look at pictures of herself that we had yet to take. to get her in a spot where i could photograph her, i told her that she could jump on our bed -- hence the crazy shots.)

five months ago Mark had ambitions to paint the living room. It was going to be winter, what better time than to use that stored up energy to paint the upstairs room. That energy never came. End of story!

Love Mark
