latest hobby

I've seen some girls wearing these beaded watch bands and wanted one. I got my grandma's old beads and made some bands.

hobby

I'm trying to find a hobby. I've tried crocheting ... I don't love it. I've tried sewing ... I like it well enough. I can't show what I've crocheted because they are for my in-laws for Christmas. Above are burp cloths. They were super easy to make and I'm now making blankets to go with them.

I got some beads from my mom and grandma, so I'm going to try my hand at those bead watch bands. I've also got an idea brewing in my head for a season display. I'll post pictures when I start.

Anyhoo, I'm trying to find something that I LOVE to do. What are your hobbies?

safety precaution

Corban has figured out how to open the toilet. His FAVORITE past time is to play in the toilet water, no matter what's inside. Gross, I know. So, Joe and I came up with a few safety precautions for our bathrooms.

First, the classy elastic around the TP. If Corban cannot get a piece going, he can't unroll the toilet paper. So far he's only gotten a few pieces torn off before loosing interest.

And second, the lid shutters (I'm not really sure what these things are called). It's a good thing I have a smart husband. These bad boys don't have installation instructions. I had NO idea how to put it on. To open the lid you have to push two nobs on the side and pull a lever out. I use all the coordination skills I possess just to open the thing before I pee all over the place. "Baby Mama" anyone?

all hallows eve

We went trick-or-treating at the nursing home where my grandma lives. We based our costumes off of the "Princess and the Frog" fairy tale.

daylight savings?

Did anyone else forget that today was daylight savings? Why do they even have this stupid thing?

I had to teach primary today, so I was up in arms about getting there in time to get supplies from the library. I even threatened Joe that I'd leave him if he wasn't ready. We marched up to an empty church parking lot when Joe realized that today was daylight savings!

I'm going back to bed.
