I’m sorry about yesterday’s lame photo post.  We were out and about for a good part of the day, mostly to get away from the house.  The wind was AWFUL the night before and the rain and snow and general gloominess of the day were rather oppressive.  Though I imagine it is preferable to the unseasonable temperatures we’re having otherwise.  Today and tomorrow will be normal but we’re supposed to get into the 50’s this next week and that just ain’t right.

I think Evie is getting her first cold.  This is a rather unhappy business.  She seems to maybe have a touch of a sore throat and a cough to go with it and her nose has been running clear.  Though she’s been doing so well at sleeping in her crib, last night she was up every 30 minutes to an hour before we went to bed, fussing and sounding generally miserable.  So when we went to bed, we just brought her in with us.  Kile even set up the vaporizer and rubbed her chest with VapoRub (which she LOVED, it totally blissed her out).  And from there, she slept pretty well.  I imagine we might try the vaporizer and VapoRub combo tonight in her own room and see how that works.  Poor thing!

We’ve been having a good time playing around with the new sewing machine.  Kile has helped me convert a few onesies and add some sleeves to a couple of t-shirts.  He even sewed up a duvet cover for our down comforter using two flat sheets.  I found some super cute knee high socks at Target the other day and we turned them into homemade baby legs.  Today I’m going to try making a fleece soaker from a pattern (it’s something you put over a fitted diaper or prefold to make it waterproof) and I also have a pattern for a simple dress to make Evie, provided I ever get up the guts to try it.  Look at me, being all crafty n’ stuff.

To all the haters at Walmart who gave me dirty looks when Evie was crying:

You can just eat me.

Love, Me.

Seriously though.  She was tired and hungry.  I would have been happy to take her to the bathroom and feed her but HUH both bathrooms were closed for cleaning.  Isn’t that against the rules or something?? And I don’t think the haters would have liked it much had I just whipped out my boob there in the middle of the electronics department and fed her in front of everyone.  I guess to these people’s way of thinking, I simply shouldn’t ever leave the house because I have children.  I mean, the NERVE of me bringing my children out into public where people without children have to LOOK at them.  The horror!

I hate it when I write a post and then forget to finish it and post it so that it’s nearly 6:30 at night and I still don’t have a post up on my blog.  (It happens a lot more often than I’d like to admit, actually.)
