Meet Indiadam Jones!

Image
By
When my Grandma moved I inherited a couple of my Grandfather's old hats for my children to play with. Wearing this hat is one of Adam's newest obsessions. He wore it when we took Andrew to school yesterday, and of course we got many, many comments on the hat (just like when he wears his cape). Today, he put on the hat and started running around in the living room, chasing Andrew, and saying that he was Indiana Jones. Even Andrew played along and said that it was an Indiana Jones hat and that Adam was Indiana Jones. It's funny how they can come up with these things, and play pretend that they are people and characters that they've never seen before, nor do they know anything about them. Where do they come up with these things?

Ooh! I knew exactly who he was pretending to be the moment I saw the picture! My boys have hats very similar to the one that Adam does. They always play like they are Indiana Jones when they wear their hats too!! Evan pretends like he's Indiana most of the time and then Hayden is always "Dad" (from the Last Crusade). They even sing the Indiana Jones song while they run around pretending to beat up Nazi's! I love little boys!! :) Glad to hear that no matter who "owns" them, they pretty much all do the same thing!

Burke has a very similar hat and if it's within kids' reach, I can't keep it away from Jack or Kate. They both love it!

That is so funny. Little boys are so cute. I can't wait for Gavin to start doing stuff like that. I was going to say... I was surprised they were allowed to watch Indiana Jones... I have seen ALL of them and I thought they were a little gorey and violent at times... then I finished reading the post... that is so weird that they know about it without watching it.

Okay so sorry I don't think I can erase my comment, so I hope you are not offended. I am just remembering the one where they try to pull out Indiana Jones' heart...

That is a pretty neat hat! I wish I had my grandpa's old hats...Now I'm wondering who got them when he passed away?

what a little sweetie! I can't wait to have a closet full of dress-ups (and a house big enough to accomodate it!) He will love to look at this picture when he's an old man! By the way the new look on the blog is so cute!

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
