Sabattical

I have been doing things. LOTS of things. A sampling:
*knit a pair of newborn leggies for a friend
*sewed up napkins/table runner for a wedding present (see below)
*dogs(at?) two OTHER dogs (on top of my two) for 2 weeks. Sheesh. 3 days left.
*had a birthday weekend for the Bug
*flipped lady over zillions of times during night--
(she wants to sleep on her tummy but isn't quite comfy yet.Ugh)
*knit up 1/2 of Bug's Xmas Sweater
*made many many foodstuffs. Too many. Want to go out to dinner!
*split up skirmishes between said 4 dogs.
*cleaned up lots of potty training messes.
*cleaned lots of shirts that had spit-up on them.
*cleaned up lots of dog poop.
Yup, I've officially got rings under my eyes and my last fibrous "patience" nerve has all but snapped.
And not to mention...I'm hot. It's hot.I hate heat and humidity. Nebraska is always sooooooo hot! I'm hot!~
I've been a bit of a Crabby Patty lately, I'll be back when I've mellowed out.

OH honey. Good for you!

And are you seriously potty training? GOOD for you!! You have my love and adoration. I was JUST talking to my cousin about a potty training book that she's starting with her almost-two year old. It's called "Toilet Training in Less Than a Day" by Nathan H. Azrin, Ph. D. and Richard M Foxx Ph.D. She said she really liked it and it's totally working!

Good luck!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
