Evelyn's new clothes

I went to Target to look for some pants for Evelyn (since the 6 month ones she has now look more like capris than full length pants) and although they didn't have what I was looking for, I found this cute outfit. It was a steal for only $4.88 for the dress and the leggings! I had to restrain myself from buying all of the cute clothes that I put in the cart, asking myself "Does she REALLY need this??" It was just plain hard to pass up such a good deal! All of the baby clothes were on sale up to 80% off! Darn Dave Ramsey and the silly budget!! (just kidding of course!)

Good blog to check out

One of my best friends and old college roommates is a pediatric dietitian living in the "weird" city of Austin. Both being Aggies, I forgive her. =) Anyway, a few months ago she started a blog here. It has all kinds of info on nutrition recommendations for kids of all ages, food product reviews, comments on current research and nutrition news, food ideas, recipes, and tips for creating healthy eating behaviors with your kids.

I would recommend that all of my mommy friends check it out!!

Happy eating!

This blog needs a little more Evelyn

too funny (or creepy) not to share

You have to check this out.

Cape

So I totally copied Sarah, but I couldn't resist. The ideas was just too cute!

I made a super cape for my niece's birthday last weekend. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture before I gave it away. But no worries....I made another for another niece who has an upcoming birthday in November. (Shawna-if you are reading this, don't spoil the surprise for Ellie! She will get it in the mail soon!) =)

I made both of the capes reversible. One side with a tiara and their initial and the other side with a Superman symbol. Here are pictures of the second cape:

All tied up with a bow and ready to send:

One room down...

MANY more to go.

I was certain that I would be all moved-in, un-boxed, and settled into the new place by now. WOW, was I mistaken! Trying to unpack, paint, organize, clean, and make a quick run to Target for supplies with a 7 month old sure is harder than I thought! I guess it doesn't help that I changed paint colors after we had already painted the majority of the walls! OOPS! (side note: if any of my friends are good with color, design, and decorating please let me know so that we can become better friends! I would love for you to hang out over here. And while you are here you could give me some tips!) Anyway, the funny thing is that Michael ended up picking out the final color and I love it! Who knew...my husband the interior designer!

I have completed one room in the house so far. Other than painting the 12 foot ceilings, it was pretty easy. Here are some pics of Evelyn's room. I am SO happy with the way it turned out.

More pics of the rest of the house to come as we SLOWLY finish!
