here is a way belated post of our gingerbread house construction from last week. it was last tuesday’s advent calendar activity, but then anna took a super long nap after school and we had plans for the evening, so we moved it to wednesday and here’s how it went down… all of the decorations, assembled […]
kessler’s birthday cake
made this little cake for my buddy kessler who turns three today! kessler wanted a race car cake with “fire”. which obviously means, “a sweet flaming paint job” to a 3 year old. and like all of the other things (baby, 1st bday, baby bro) i’ve made for his family, the color scheme was green. […]
charlie brown christmas quilts,
volume 2 and 3.
after i made frankie’s top secret charlie brown christmas quilt, i found the charlie brown quilt on fabric.com for so cheap i couldn’t not get it. the problem was, i needed 1/4 yard of all the different fabrics and fabric.com operates in 1/2 yards only. so, i bought enough fabric to make two. one for […]
stuff and things.
not much to report around here. it felt like i had a ton to post about, but then i looked through my pictures since last weekend when we put up the tree and there were like 10 total pictures taken. one of them was of this cute butt. in underpants. because the girl is potty […]
oh christmas tree. 2012 edition.
finally. thanksgiving is over. and it’s socially acceptable to listen to christmas music. and put up decorations. i may or may not have already starting the former. the latter we attended to yesterday and today… rather than hit up any black friday (thursday?) sales, we rolled the mile-ish into downtown (ha!) lewisville to our favorite […]

i’m baaa-aaaack. more tales of our adventures in western new york. i think i’m on wednesday. we spent the night at les’s. and my mom had a training thing in buffalo in the morning, so when she was finished we kidnapped her and made her go to vidler’s in east aurora for some old timey […]
another western ny trip series.
part 2.
on monday, my family returned to their respective jobs and schooling, leaving us to our own devices. so, naturally, our first stop was olivers candy. so. much. sugar. the kids saw this dog and instinctively stopped to pose for a photo with it. they’re well trained. or brainwashed. whatever. outside, we took some photos along […]
