The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. Welcome to Oregon in the spring! It has been pretty miserable the last two days, so except for a trip to church where we ran between the car and the door, we have been pursuing indoor activities. Today, I got brave.....
Out came color crayons and color books. How do you think it went?
W had a great time....but he was more interested in switching colors every five seconds then coloring....
B was a study in concentration. He really tried, and seemed to enjoy it, until he realized the paper peeled off the crayons....
And then little R....it will be a LONG time before she wears makeup, considering her talent and color choices. Purple could be found on cheeks, nose, and between her teeth, too! Guess we have some work to do on the coloring! But, their first pictures are on the refrigerator!
Even with trips to the ER, I have been getting something done around here - I just haven't had time to blog about it! So, here is a stash buster baby afghan. Round ripple afghan in variegated acrylic. Nothing spectacular, but it was a brainless project I could do while sitting on the floor with the kiddies!
My Eva's shanwl finally got done! I am very happy with it, and now little Miss R. and I will match for Easter. Hey, I figure the boys always match Daddy, it is Baby girl and Mommy's turn, especially since they were finished on time! 
Another view - it was done using acrylic yarn that someone gave me, made in Israel. I was stashbusting! And, it actually turned out both soft and warm. This was a perfect pattern for it, because it didn't need to be blocked.
And, my favorite, the Garden Party Wrap by Kim Guzman. It was done with Knitpicks Shimmer Laceweight - color Happy Dance. I absolutely love it! (and yes, that was the yarn I won. I couldn't finish everything else before I used it!)
I can hardly wait for Sunday to wear it to church!
Poor guy is feeling better today, but still not great. We are going to follow up with his pediatrician today. Hopefully it is on it's way out! 
Andy turns 32 today!!!!! We celebrated last night at his parent's, and had great food, great conversation, and lots of fun, too! We are so grateful for our family. For the next five months, Andy is a VERY OOOOOLD man! After that, he ain't lookin' too bad! I am so blessed to have him in my life. And speaking of blessings, here's how the munchkins celebrated Daddy's birthday.....
W wasn't into that kid stuff - there was serious business at hand - there were dishes to do! He and Aunt Kris had a fabulous time!
R has a new love - find a blanket, find a book, find a lap that will read to her. We aren't sure where the blanket came from, but we now have two in our living room for her to use! Too cute!
We are so grateful the Lord put Andy into this family! We are going to celebrate again tonight! 
Our niece is a catcher for girls fast pitch softball at college in Washington. Her team traveled to a tournament in Vancouver, so we packed everything up for a day at the diamonds! Here, Makenzie is up to bat.
B carried his around for the rest of the day, and as I write this, is hauling it around on his dump truck!
R wanted to play catch with anyone she could grab! The balls were a huge hit - I can't wait until the "mini mitt" fits R - we will really have some fun then!
The weather was perfect - sunny, but a bit on the cold side. So, W got this sweater hand delivered the morning of, before we left. Granny finished it that morning. It kept him warm, and he looked adorable - I have already ordered one in B's size!
R congratulate Makenzie on a job well done! We had a great day, although we came home dead tired. Hopefully we can make some of Kylie's games this year, too! 
W still isn't looking at me. Of course, I did nick his ear a bit - but HE moved!!!! I didn't get fancy like the barber shop, it is just one length. But, it saved us a bunch of money now and in the future. 
R couldn't be left out, and so she got her bangs trimmed. And I use that terminology loosely! However, it made her one of the gang, and she was happy. Now, all three are sawing logs, the laundry has been started. Sounds like it is time for some scrapbooking!
I had LOTS of help with windows....
Dusting...
But the favorite of the day was the vacuum!!!! Here, R shows off the new toy. Now, if you want a good laugh, come by my house while I run this beast. I have R on one hip, holding the cord for me. B is helping me push it - so we are moving kind of slow - it's HEAVY for a little guy! and W has found the highest ground he can as far away from it as possible! 
B tries to get me to do a little more - that was FUN!!!!
Now that it is off and quiet, W will do a little exploring - but notice he still had his tiger for comfort!
And as to why no projects have been posted lately.....this is the stack of pictures I have been working on getting in the scrapbooks. I have one done through June 0f 2008, one through March, and two that haven't even been started. And yes, there are still THREE boxes to get through. I think I take enough pictures of these guys! But, other projects have been ongoing. I just have a serious case of "startititis." Usually I start one project, finish it, start the next. Lately, well, judge for yourself.....
My garden party wrap in the yarn I won.... I LOVE it!
The shawl that I plan to wear to my brother's wedding in three months - not a great picture - and I had really better get busy on it!
A Christmas present that I might be stupid for even attempting to do. Besides, it is so gorgeous, I might want to keep it. I also have a sweater for R on the needles, a stash-busting baby afghan, and .....
For a little variety, a crosstitch project! I think I had better get busy! Enjoy the beautiful spring out there!
