On the night you were born...

Well, Anias cried for nearly 5 hours straight this morning and I have a 4 day long headache (allergies?) so  this is going to be a short one! I finished up Anias' projects a few weeks ago, but forgot to post pictures so here they are. We did the same for Eli, so it's nice to keep it going.
I made these modge podge collages from the daily newspaper on their birthdate and they both have quotes from this book, which ironically we don't own.

 I had my 6 week follow-up and am down 20 lbs, but I'm hoping to get some of that other 30 off soon. Getting a little break at the Y will be nice too.

Anias: Week 5

 I only woke up once at night twice this week! I'm starting to outgrow 3 month clothing, especially those pants with the feet. My feet are just too big. I accidentally rolled over on the couch this week, but mom doesn't count it because of the big dip she made on the couch cushion while she was pregnant. I'm still a smiley and happy boy, even though my tummy gives me some trouble. I adore my daddy! He always gets the most smiles out of me, but when I cry I definitely need mom.

Anias: Week 6

 My hair is getting to be a lighter! It's more brown than black now. I'm super super smiley in the morning. I was so glad that my cousin, Kamiree, and my Aunt Shiree came to visit me this week.  Shiree is the best and bouncing me around until I pass out. She carries me around like a football, and I absolutely love it. We tried to go to my first pumpkin patch, but after mom drove all the way to Portland, we found out it was closed! Mom and dad got our first official family pictures and I looked absolutely adorable! Thanks grandma for the cute outfit!

Eli

 I like to pretend that the bath is Adventure Bay, where there are constant oil leaks and Zuma has to save the day. I call Anias my "little friend" and I like to hold his hand and be nice to him. When we're praying at night, I tell God what I'm thankful for, including my name and our house. One day I was doing yoga on the rug in the living room and mom asked what I was doing. She said, "Are you doing  yoga?" and I said, "No, I doing rug." One day when I was supposed to be asleep and mom was out with aunt Shiree, dad found me with the iPad in their bed. I said, "What? I watching the iPad." I have no idea why I was in trouble. I like to bring my wallet along to car rides and "pay" with my credit cards. This ensures I get whatever snack I want. I tell mom, "Jesus made my owie feel better." I love playing hide and seek with Kamiree and I'm going to miss her SO much!

Tuesday Tips

This week’s focus is…         MENU Oh how I love food. After you’ve come up with your theme and your décor, it seems (at least to me) for the menu to come along naturally. I do have a few rules I try stick to. When I throw a party I generally like to have something crunchy you can snack on, something healthy(ish), something you could consider to be what I call “real food” aka something you would eat as part of a main meal, at least 2 drink options, and something deliciously sweet. Although I try to have some of the food options be theme-specific, I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. People might remember if your food was theme specific, but they’re definitely going to remember if your food was delicious. Don’t feel like you can’t make some of your favorite staples for a party! Make food you would like to eat- especially if you’re hosting. You might just have leftovers. If you’re staple food is steak, or something equally expensive or equally larg...

Dust yourself off & try again

Okay, I have persisted and I have a few tips. Fluffier frosting is definitely not the way to go. I used a fluffier frosting and the frosting ended up coming off the cookie with the stamp. This icing seemed to work much better. Secondly, brush cornstarch on top of the icing to limit the stickiness. PaperVine was so right about that! I had a rubber stamp and an acrylic stamp and the rubber stamp worked much better. That’s not to say that acrylic stamps won’t work, but I didn’t have an acrylic block to put the food coloring on. I used the paper towel method I read about somewhere (for the life of me I can’t find it), where you put paper towels into a Tupperware container and soak it with food coloring. You use the paper towels as a sort of ink-pad. Next time I may just shell out the cash for an un-inked foam pad. I’m also interested to see how different types of food coloring works. Some people swear by gel while others swear by airbrush food coloring. Thirdly, make sure you’re hu...

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...
