Yesterday....was a SNOW DAY! The boys handled the onset of cabin fever fairly well, no one was hurt, there was hardly any fighting, and mama didn't lose her cool!!! Which means.... since I was happy... EVERYONE was happy!!!

I built a huge train garden for the boys in the living room... it took up our whole living room area rug and man.. did they ever have a blast!!! Now after it being up for almost 24 hours it is getting to be a nuisance and a tripping hazard. I promised them they could keep it up until tomorrow and then the demo crew is going in and flattening it!! Here's the train garden we made (boys and Thomas... go together like peanut butter and chocolate!!!) I was also able to get 2 more dipes sewn... that makes a total of 19 I have made!! I I still need to do the St.Patrick's day dipe.. but I will do that next week. Here's a pic of some of my stash that I have made:

I bought new fabric today... I'm hoping to make another sling... this fabric was just tooo pretty to pass up. I also started crocheting a baby hat... a picked girly colors for this hat (secretly hoping to bring me luck!) and I will make a boy hat next week. I will donate the one not needed to the hospital's nursery. For the past year I have donated almost 10 hats a month to the NICU ward at the local hospital but I have been sooo busy making this lil peanuts items, that my volunteer hat making has been put on the back burner. I promise myself that it will resume once a routine is established in our household.

2 weeks and counting.... lil one will be here! I am anxious, nervous, overjoyed, scared to death and concerned about the surgery and yet it can't come soon enough!!!

Time to prop my feet up and start crocheting again! I am on a roll! And I hear those damn dwarfs again...."Hi Ho... Hi Ho...It's off to work we go!"...
