Coming up with titles is going to be the hardest part

I downloaded my camera card tonight with the photographic evidence of the last two days in the Beaton household. I feel like I've rarely gotten to sit down in the last 48 hours what with house projects and craft projects and a cranky, nonsleeping teething 11 month old.

I'm trying hard to do more craft type projects with The Boo since she enjoys them so much. Here she is, hard at work on her Easter egg tree.

Monkey -Child has just learned how to open drawers and cupboards. Yahh for him, sucks for me. So yesterday I pulled out the trusty power drill and installed child-proof latches in the kitchen and bathroom. Monkey -Child had a great time emptying out every cabinet as I worked on it. Now it's time to sit back and snicker as Brad repeatedly attempts to open the cupboards, forgetting about the latches every. single. time. Hey, it should slow down his foraging through the kitchen complaining about the lack of good (chemical laden, fat oozing, man-made) food in the house. Bonus.

I think that I am in love with Babylegs. Seriously have you ever seen anything cuter than this? It is taking all of my self control not to order up a dozen more in all different colours and patterns.

Hello. Hi. Whatcha doing Mama? Look at the baby. Look at me. At me. Right here. What if I get closer? There can't miss me. Hello. Hi. Whatcha doing Mama?

Being alone with the kids so much, there are almost no pictures of us together, so today I tried out the self-timer on my new camera. Unfortunately the warning sound scared the living crap out of Monkey -Child. This is the only picture where he doesn't look totally traumatized.

Okay, so he looks slightly traumatized, I swear this was the best one of the bunch.



I finished the fabric covered bulletin board and drawing hanger board today. This corner is going to for The Boo to put up her completed homeschool projects and art work. I made another one of the covered bulletin boards for beside the table as well.

I also made homemade mozzarella cheese for the first time last night. It turned out not too bad if I can say so myself.

I also tried the homemade granola bar recipe again and they were much better this time. I used Craisons and chocolate chips and I think that they are tastier than the Kashi ones from the store. But Brad says the Kashi ones are like chewing cardboard anyways. It nice to have a low standard to work up from.
