Look-alikes

People tell me all the time that my kids look so much alike and sometimes I see it but other times they look so different to me. Tonight I went back to Calvin's pictures when he was Hazel's age and found one of him as he same age as Hazel. You be the judge!

My Scapes

Calvin got these skates a few months ago and still calls them his "scapes." He loves to wear them although doesn't like the falling down part so much. He did manage to go from the fridge to the sink today on his own without falling.

Hazel's crazy hat

I knitted this up for Hazel on Christmas Eve while Andrew was setting up presents. I guess I didn't make it the right size because she wasn't supposed to look like an elf. Oh well!

Making good use of Christmas gifts

This year I got a lot of kitchen items for Christmas. I was so excited to use them that I started today while babysitting an 11 month old baby and watching my own 2 children. What was I thinking!!?! I used my new food processor to chop veggies for split pea soup, then used my new pressure canner to can the soup. It's Hunter's Mmm mmm mmm mmm good!

Getting with it

It seems like everyone has a blog except me so I'm following the crowd and starting one today. It appears to be a lot of work, from the others I've seen, so hopefully it's not.
