Give Away!!!

That's right, folks.

Free stuff.

I'm giving away a half-finished craft because I'm too lazy to complete it. (Ha! Ha!)

Though in all fairness, the half I did was way harder than the half you'll have to do if you win.

Here's the idea I stole:

And here's what I'm actually giving away:

(It's just the front piece.)

All you have to do is put a back on it and stuff it.

Voila!

Pillow.

Or you can frame it.

Or use it as a dishrag.

I don't really care.

So, if you want in just leave a comment.

I'll randomly chose the winner on

If you've ever thought to yourself:

"I wonder what would happen if I had a little cold and I sneezed while I was eating a chicken nugget?"

Here is your answer:

Family Outing

Today we took a little field trip to Bass Pro Shop. (because it's a cool place to go.)

Jay Alvin fell asleep on the way there. (Mid-chicken nugget, as is evidenced by the crumbs on his face and clothes.)

Leo thought it was way cool to jump over the seats and had to be let out the back way.

Here's Griffin getting ready to head out.

We saw the giant fish in the fish tank.

And we rode the elevator up the side of the waterfall.

You can see the back of the fish tank from inside of the elevator. It's pretty cool.

We got to feed the trout under the bridge.

The water is all churned up from the fish fighting over the food. They were jumping around like crazy!

Jay Alvin decided to put his feet up and chill for a while.

And then we let the kiddos ride on the quad for a little bit.

They had a blast! It was definitely worth the trip.

We found this Mickey Mouse costume lying around my parent's house.

Leo insisted on wearing it around all afternoon.

We bought a Groupon to AquaTots swim school for the boys. And then we dressed them in Speedo's for all four lessons. ('Cause we're mean like that.) 

Aren't they cute?

We were all really, really sick about a week ago. Poor little Jay Alvin zonked out on the couch one night because we were taking too long to get him to his bed.

Aren't those eyes sad?
