I've been pretty quiet lately due to road trips, weddings, wedding prep, post-wedding fatigue and loads of time spent with the kiddies. I've been trying to take a lot of photos of them because we spend so much time together so here's a few from the past week or so.
At the gum wall by the Pike Place Market. Kids really enjoy the grossness of this.
Little B hanging out under an arch at the park.
Playing tag.
Walking around Green lake. I have them in two of my favorite little outfits.
Anya making stars for our surprise project for the playroom...
and Brogan colouring them.
The team, playng with the hole punch with the stars strung up behind them on the frame of...
the tent we made for the playroom! I used a tutorial that I read about a while back on Cakies (found here) and it was so easy to do! The only change I made was to use thumbtacks to affix the bed-sheet to the frame instead of sewing elastic (I avoid sewing at all costs). We ended up taking a few of the flowers off after we took this picture cause it was a bit too girly but both the kids love it. They spent the afternoon we made it playing games in there and this week Anya dragged her sleeping bag, favorite stuffed animals and a few pillows in there to make it more cozy. She even takes a nap in there now and then. As an unfortunate aside, this picture shows the sad state of my point and shoot, man do I ever need a new camera.
More later.
I love these photos; Anya & Brogan are so adorable. I stole a couple of the pictures for my personal album. The tent is fantastic! I'll be building one of those for my grandbabies.
btw I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture of you enjoying the grossness of the gum wall. Nasty.

Hey! I tried to be all super cute and magical at Christmas and make a tent like this for my neice and nephew to read books in and it FAILED. I got the idea from Ready Made but it had no structural support and collapsed all the time and was a hazard. Yours is far too cute!

I remember you making it actually! I also remember it being super complicated. You should try doing it this way; it gets saggy after a while and then you need to move the legs out but it's never collapsed.
