Out the Window

That is where my computer almost went yesterday!

For some reason, I was having trouble loading blogger yesterday....and I think it was my cookies. How sad that cookies could cause that much trouble! The strange thing was that it was ONLY blogger that wouldn't load. I could check my email, browse through facebook, and do my banking but for some strange reason I could NOT get my blogger dashboard to load. Every time I tried to open up blogger my computer started to have a virtual seizure! Seriously, I have never seen a computer screen do that before....and it did it all day long! I played around with some of setting trying to fix it, but nothing seemed to help.

Then yesterday after dinner, soccer practice, baths, and bedtime Jason sat down at the computer, clicked a few buttons and VOILA he fixed it! I was SUPER excited to see my dashboard {which I hadn't seen all day} but a little aggravated that he was able to fix it so quickly after I spent all day dealing with it! Oh well, it is fixed now and I have a ton of blog reading to catch up on....

While my computer was being uncooperative yesterday, I did manage to get a few things {and a nap} done around the house. I made Eli a cute John John to wear in his first birthday pictures, which we are going to take today! I spent about two hours yesterday cutting our fabric and sewing his outfit. Then I spent another two hours sewing on the buttons {not really, I just hate sewing on buttons so it seems like it takes that long}! I also made all three boys some SUPER cute shirts with some SUPER cute material that I picked up earlier this week.

Besides trying to climb on everything in sight, here is what Eli has been up to this week:

Grant had his 4 year old shots on Monday and then had to be quarantined {at least from me} at my parent's house for three days. Because of the medicines that I am on, I could not be around him after having live vaccines....a little crazy....and probably not likely that I would actually get sick from him, but we played it safe anyway. So he got to spend the first part of the week being spoiled by grandparents and great grandparents.

Today Henry got to dress up like a doctor for school. They have been learning about community helpers all week, and today they are learning about people in the medical profession. So Dr. Henry went to school today all ready to "nurse" his patient back to health!

We are off to get haircuts and take pictures today....wish us luck that Eli's birthday pictures turn out SUPER cute, and that he doesn't make too big of a mess with his smash cake!

The Keeper of the Paci!

The other day {after Jason had to search for Eli's paci twice during the night because his two current paci keepers had gotten old and lazy} I decided to make a few new paci keepers for Eli! These things are a life saver, and I love that I can make them any color I want....as opposed to being stuck with just the blue ones you buy at the store.

PACI KEEPERS 101

AKA The Easy Baby Gift You Could Ever Make

Gather your materials:
Fabric
Covered Button Kit
Rick Rack or Ribbon
Badge Clips {found in the office section}
Hot Glue Gun

Lay the fabric over the covered button kit, then add the button and gather the material.

After you gather the material, you snap down the covered button kit.

With just a little snap, you end up with a SUPER cute covered button!

Next, you add a little hot glue to the back of the button and attach the ribbon or rick rack. Then add a little more glue to attach the clip part of the badge to the back of the covered button.

Then you take the other end of the badge clip and thread the ribbon or rick rack through the hole in the plastic piece. Fold over the edge of the ribbon and hot glue it into place. And you end up with the cutest and easiest baby gift ever!
