Piper's Car Seat Cover

I see such cute car seat covers everywhere these days. I've checked out the pricing of them at the kiosks at the mall and the pricing is outrageous. I thought I would be creative and make an original one of my own. Yes I sewed the whole thing myself....It turned out perfect! Maybe I should start making these and selling them for half the price of the ones at the mall???
Here are the bow ties to keep the cover from coming off. They are sewed onto the cover itself and then they velcro over the handle.


The inside of the car seat cover matches the hairbows on the skeletons on the outside!

Baby Update

I went into my midwife today for my weekly check up. I am only dilated to a barely 2 if that and 50% effaced. I got a ways to go.....baby measures around 6 lbs, so thank goodness it looks like she will be small like my other 2. I'll keep you posted! My next appt is next Wednesday the 7th of April :)

The count down to Easter

I found this cute idea in a "Family Fun" magazine. Using an egg carton you put treats in each slot and each day for 12 days before Easter, the kids get to pick a circle to punch through and open to find a surprise! Our kids love to find coins, so we used a lot of them for the treats......way easy and way FUN!!

Our Raleigh Kay

Raleigh was sucking on a Valentine's sucker and we couldn't believe how blue it turned her tongue. The sucker itself is probably not the best thing for a kid to eat considering all the dye that is in it to turn her tongue like that...Gross!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Every year I make my Mom's famous cabbage rolls for St. Patty's Day. We made the rolls and I surprised the kids with Rainbow Cupcakes for St. Patty's Day. They turned out great and were surprisingly easier than I thought they were going to be.

Elton John & Billy Joel Concert

Last Friday night we went to the Elton John/Billy Joel concert at the E-Center. We bought our tickets almost a year ago and the concert was originally scheduled for November. Both Billy Joel and Elton John had gotten sick with the flu and had to reschedule the concert. So we finally got to go this February. It was a good concert but I have to say that Billy Joel was by far my favorite, probably because I was more familiar with his music. He had a lot of hits. When both of them played together it was awesome. Good times!!
