st.patricks day!!

i couldn't get a picture of the two of them together.  here they are in their st.paddy's day outfits.  lane's shirt is just like his valentine's day shirt and kate got a cute skirt to match. i used this pattern.http://youcanmakethis.com/info/baby/Simple-Skirt-Sizes-12mths-5T.htm

lucky for us, a leprechaun did not stop at our house and make a big mess like at the ginskey's.  too bad for us, we did it all ourselves!

hope you have a great day!

ps. lane picked out his own pants!

Jason's big fish!!

Jason caught this big northern pike on lake of the woods in February. the 27th at 9:30 am(he is excited about it)

monday

 

 

 

today, norah came over in the morning so melissa could take brennan to his 15month checkup.  the kids played so well together!  lane and norah love each other very much but sometimes, watch out, they can fight fight fight. 

papa charlie picked lane up around 11am to go butcher a couple of pigs.  lane thinks that is the best!  he got home a little after 5 and boy was he exhasted.  brennan came over so melissa and norah could go to dance class.  he is such a good kid and very easy to have around.  when brennan and kate see each other they get so excited and usually have to kiss and hug right away.  it is very cute.

after supper we went outside  for a little bit to enjoy the nice weather.  kate was running around like a crazy girl and lane was very excited to ride his bike.

sewing

here is a cute tunic dress and hairclip i made for Norah

 

i used this pattern http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42601280 for the dress.

here is Kate on valentines day.  i made her the tutu onsie.  it was surprisingly simple to make.  i made Norah a tutu shirt from the same tutorial, too bad a don't have a picture of it or of her in it.

 

i used the tutorial from Joy's Homemade http://www.joyshope.com/2010/02/its-tutu-its-t-shirt.html

i also made this "tie" shirt for lane and also for brennan.http://crapivemade.blogspot.com/2009/03/appliqued-tie-onesie.html  i used this tutorial.  it was super easy! and really quick!

she's a mover

  

these are an example of the pictures i get of Kate lately.  she doesn't stand still long enough to get a good shot of her face.  take my word for it, she is cute!

by the way, i made her the dress/tunic she has on.  i used this pattern.http://youcanmakethis.com/info/baby/Pillowcase-Dress-with-Ladybug-Monkey-Applique-Sizes-6mths-4T.htm

lane is all about showing off his muscles.  watch out, he is a strong one!
