One Foot in Front of the Other

Someone is walking and is quite proud of herself:

Stanley Clan:

Hi there, family!  A few things to keep in mind when viewing the following gems:

• E is sick.  As in even when she is on acetaminofin and ibuprofen at the same time she still runs a fever, her eye is leaking and her nose is dripping like a leaky faucet.
• Hence the lack of clothing.  She's not naked; you're welcome.
• Yes, that is exactly what it is like here on a daily basis.  Quacks and all.
• Keep your eye on the little one in the background...she is an excellent boogie-er.

Of course, upon viewing that fabulousness, E wanted me to remove all of the parts that had issues, like talking and the quacks.  I cannot do that.  Well, maybe I could if I knew anything about the editing of video, but I know nothing, so I cannot indeed.  Instead, we waited for Boomsk to be playing with something relatively quiet and we tried again.  So for your further viewing pleasure, here is the song and dance in its entirety.

All of this is to say we miss you and are very much looking forward to BWWG 2013.

Pervey Sneg 2012

It snowed all day yesterday - small flakes that tend to pile up and stick around.  Unfortunately, the temps dropped overnight and the powder stopped falling.  It was a great snow for playing, as evidenced below.  The kids had lots of fun!  Goose-a-maroo (E) is in the pink snowsuit (shocker, I know).

I'm Thinking Most of You Don't Care...

...but if in fact you do, please comment.  Mostly this is for everyone to whom I sent a Facebook message regarding the fact that my hair is in need of some serious help.  Please ignore the crazy amount of split ends and shagginess resulting from my not doing anything to my hair at all except, you know, washing it and letting it air dry.  Also, apologies for my lack of makeup and other cover-up-the-bad-and-hopefully-enhance-the-good; I tend to forget to do those things.  Here are some photos of what Matt and I think might look okay:

Of course, I could just keep my hair as is and pin it like this each day, but Matt and I agree that I would probably get tired of that and not do it, so if I really want to do it I need to get it cut this way...or at least a variant of this way...

And now so that your time is not completely wasted, here is the Oldest looking particularly cute:

Hoot!

We had a baby shower for one of the women here in Olympia who recently returned with her 3 month old little boy.  I've been wanting to make something recently, but I had no idea what.  I took a look on ravelry and found this cute idea.  You can make pretty much any animal that you want.  I made it on Thursday, so start to finish it wasn't too difficult.  I think they are really cute and I think I'll be making them for the other babies we're expecting soon.
