One Very Long Weekend..

Saturday we went to Farmer's market to get some fresh green beans, since we didn't have enough in our garden to get my fix. I wore Eli in my new Mei Tei, which I absolutely LOVE and need to take a picture of. On Sunday Mike and I bothe got new tennis shoes at penney's a pretty good deal on New Balance. We hung out at the house my mom is moving into and my sister and I took the kids to the park, while Mike and my mom went to get the Uhaul for Monday. Sunday night I stayed up WAY too late sewing a diaper for Eli( see pics). It's not that good at all, but I am so excited that I actually made something. I found some easy patterns online and usedone of my old tank tops(so Soft) and a cut up towel on the inside. It's just a contour so needs a cover and isn't nearly as thick(and absorbent) as our other diapers, but it's my first so I'm ok w/ it. Now I need to make the actual kit i have. I just really suck at following a pattern for anything I get so lost, I need to be walked through stuff like that the first time, so I'm a little worried i'kk screw it up, but I'm sure I'll get up the nerve eventually.

Monday mike helped my mom move. I took the boys to the park with my aunts and my cousins kids. We had a lot of fun and spent the day with them. Mike hurt his back lifting stuff and spent the night (and most of today) on the floor. I had already agreed to work today as a substitute where I worked last year so Mike stayed home with the boys. It was pretty hard on him but he's getting bettre, hopefully. This was my first day away from Eli, and I missed him so much, I can't do this too often for a while but it'll be nice to have a little extra money. He wasn't to into the bottle and didn't eat that much while I was gone. Mike says he wasn't fussy though so that is good. I felt like I hadn't seen him in forever when I got home. Rowan was excited cause I brought him chocolate milk from the school- we haven't told him that we can actually make chocolate milk at home, he thinks you get it at Culver's or school. The chocolate syrup at home is for ice cream- so SSSHHH, please don't tell him!! ;)
