I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home

This is what Travis comes home to almost every day. Mason really loves his daddy. I love to watch how excited he gets when he hears the key turn in the lock and he knows his daddy is home. I think it's his favorite part of the day and I wouldn't doubt that it's Travis's favorite part of the day too.

Finally

So I've been working on this quilt that was going to be for Mason's crib since the first part of August and yesterday I finally finished it. I know it isn't anywhere near perfect but I think it turned out pretty good. Now I'm thinking of saving it for future children so they can have something new because I'm pretty sure if the next one is a boy he will get a lot of hand-me-downs and it will be nice to have something that Mason hasn't claimed for himself.









Here's a bit of a closer shot so you can see the pattern a little better. I quilted around all of the white circles. I thought it was going to be a pretty quick quilt to do but there seemed to be more and more circles to quilt around as I worked. It was worth it. I wish it were a cheaper hobby though.

My Little Bookworm

So, we decided to get a little chair for Mason. If the TV was on he thought he needed to right up against it to see. We could pull him back and sit him on his bottom but that wouldn't last for very long. Today we got this Spiderman chair for him and he loves it. He was so cute when we got it home. He went and sat down in it and started looking at his book. We didn't really have the TV on today but he sat in it quite a bit. I think it was a good investment.

Green Eggs and... Spam?

Just for fun (and I have a hard time thinking of what to make for him) I decided to make green eggs and yes, spam. We don't have ham very often but we did have some spam in the cupboard. I know it doesn't really look all that appetizing but what can I say? I think he liked it. So, here it is, green eggs and spam.

Black Hole

So, I've been wanting to post something on our blog for a while but I never know what to blog about. We don't get out too much here and if Mason is doing something cute or funny he tends to stop when we pull out the camera.

We've decided that having a toddler in the home equals black hole. Things go missing and we're lucky if we ever see them again. For example: A while back I was doing my make-up for church and I let Mason play with my make-up bag. This was early this summer and I haven't seen the bag since. I think it got taken out with the trash unseen. When we do find things we find them in the weirdest places too. Sometimes we find things in the garbage because that's one of Mason's favorite places to put things. We had to buy a new garbage for the kitchen that Mason doesn't get into it. We've also looked everywhere we could think of for lost toys and such only to find the missing object a week later under a pillow in the living room. I guess I need to watch him closer.
