child labor

We put up our Christmas tree and Corban went to town. He broke about five ornaments that night. I was vacuuming up the broken pieces of glass and had put the vacuum aside for a short while. When I came back, he was vacuuming the floor around him. We decided since he seemed to love what he was doing to take the cushion off the couch and have him vacuum something productive!

We're definately purchasing some shatterproof oranments at the end of season sale.

christmas project

This is our advent calendar counting down the days to Christmas. It took a lot of work, but it was kind of fun. I've found out that when I start a project Joe is right there to help out and give his opinion. He's usually right and his way is a lot easier than what I would have done. It's really quite aggravating to be wrong all the time.

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?
