The panting tongue

Logan is a goof-ball. That is the only and best word to describe him. He thinks he's funny, he acts funny and he is constantly laughing at himself.
This week he started panting. He crawls around ALL DAY with his tongue hanging out. It's pretty funny. Sorry for the shaky camera.

Repurposing the ABC's

What do you do with an old pile of jeans?
Cut them up, sew them together and make the back of a quilt.
An ABC construction quilt.
Side note: if anybody out there is proficient at binding, I need help.

In Trouble

Why is it everytime I turn on my camera, this is what I see?



Totally caught, red handed.

Big Mouth

Logan LOVES to eat. Since about 6 weeks ago, this kid has boycotted the bottle and only wants food, food and more food. Consequently, he has gotten a little fatter; but we like it that way. This is a video of his 3rd bowl of oatmeal. He loves this stuff and would eat it at every meal.

Breakfast Calzones

A couple of weeks ago, my brother Tanner had this awesome idea; that we should make some breakfast calzones. He is a master of all things breakfast and I have a pretty awesome pizza dough recipe, so we decided to collaborate and the breakfast calzone was brought to fruition!
What is in a breakfast calzone? Or rather, What do boys like to eat for breakfast?
Bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns fried in bacon grease and cheese. We pre-cooked all the ingredients and piled them onto mini pizza rounds. Folded and baked. Here is some documentation of the event.
If I was a more dedicated blogger, I would've thought to take a picture of all the ingredients BEFORE they ran out, you only get to see a picture of what was left after we created the masterpiece.
Some extra eggs, not too much sausage and one last thing of dough.
Here we are taking them out of the oven. Nice and large. Andrew was really excited.

Tanner tried the first one. As you can see, it is unusually large. He made a Man-Sized Calzone for himself. It was almost as large as his head, which is quite a feat, he has a large head.
Of course, they tasted more than satisfactory. They were delicious and we were glad we made enough to eat for the next morning. Andrew could barely contain himself; he was so overwhelmed by the delectable deliciousness of the breakfast calzone.

My new goal

A while ago I decided to make a new goal. I decided to save all of our DI clothes and repurpose them into something else. I don't know why, but I think repurposing is so cool, making something new out of something old. I love the saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without". The fact that we are going to take a little pay cut when Truston goes to school is added incentive to figure out how to "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." Don't worry, I'm not going to start making underwear and knitting socks, but it seems easy enough to take our big clothes and cut them down for the boys.
When we moved into the boys house they had a bag of DI clothes that I went through. I found these shorts and pants.

Yes, that is Talmage with a pair of scissors. Seriously, where is his mom? Originally I was going to make some church clothes; cord pants and vests. However, my original plan is ALWAYS more grandiose then what do.
Here is the outcome.
I'm going to try and make some bowties by next Sunday....seriously HOW CUTE IS THAT???!! Wow, these boys kill me. Have you ever seen anything this handsome? If you have, don't tell me about it.
This was one of my favorite pictures. Talmage is working hard, brushing his teeth and Logan has his little lip out, quivering.
