We had a lot of great food and this year I tried out a recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from <a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2010/11/08/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-cookies/">Made</a>. They were yummy and Trent helped me make them.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This year I bought the boys their own ornaments inspired by the things they love. Trent's was Buzz and Woody or course and for Carter I got a little people fire truck since he loves to push trucks around. Trent placed both of their ornaments on the tree. After that Trent would not put anymore on, he just helped me take the rest out of their boxes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Auntie helped Trent with most of the decorating and he kept telling her to put more ice cream on it.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Christmas morning was perfect. Carter had a blast ripping off the paper and trying to play with all of Trent's toys. Trent was in awe of everything and he was the most polite I had ever seen him. With every present I handed him he said "thank you" as soon as it was in his hands. Its good to know he can be polite if he wants to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Christmas day is usually very busy for us because we usually visit at least two different places, but not this year. We relaxed at home and had a pancake breakfast. I was even able to sneak in a nap (that hardly happens anymore on a normal day). After our naps we went to visit my Dad's side of the family. There Trent got to play with his cousin Olivia and he had a great time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our New Year's was very low key. My family came over along with Tim's cousin and the kids had a great time running around the house playing "Christmas." Of course Carter was in bed around 7 and our plan was to celebrate with the east coast countdown. As we were pouring champagne and getting ready to count down we realize the channel we were watching even though it said live at the top of the screen did not do a count down. After we realized we missed it we had our own countdown and toasted to the New Year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Each year keeps topping the rest and having kids makes the holidays a million times more special then I could have ever imagined. I cannot wait until next year. Let the countdown begin, only 344 days left.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Where does the time go?<br />
<br />
To celebrate Carter's first birthday we threw a Mickey Mouse birthday party. I had even ordered a Mickey shirt for Carter on Etsy, but I didn't arrive at our house until the day of the party. I made my own shirt for him instead and think it actually turned out cuter than the one I had ordered.<br />
<br />

<br />
For center pieces I had Tim spray paint Styrofoam balls black and flower pots red. I made mickey heads with the balls using toothpicks and then set them in the red pots. Then I glued two white buttons to the flower pots.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In addition to the centerpieces I also made Mickey head garland that I hung around the patio.

I dreamed of making Toy Story costumes for the whole family. My dream did not become a reality, but finishing 2 out of 4 is not bad.<br />
<br />
Trent of course was Buzz Lightyear. That costume was very involved with many little pattern pieces to cut out. At least I got to put my silhouette to good use.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall it was a great night. We handed out four Costco sized bags of candy by 8:00 and then turned off our light.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love, love, love it and can't wait for the cabinets to be installed this friday!!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tim has been working on installing the laminate flooring which has been a tedious task so far. I am hoping that once he gets the hang of it things will move along quicker. After that is done we will be installing our sinks and fixtures. That will also be a learning process.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Nearing the end of the renovation process is such a catch 22. On one hand, I am so glad that the renovations are almost over, but on the other hand that means we will be moving and have to pack up all of our stuff. I am not looking forward to the packing part.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also while all of this is going on I am trying to make Halloween costumes for the entire family. I will post some pics of the progress later this week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Trent can take as many pictures as he likes with no film wasted. The card can be erased and the batteries recharged. I think Trent should put a camera on his Christmas list.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Tim took yesterday and today off so we could finalize some of the details for our renovations.<br />
<br />
For the boys bath we are putting <a href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/interceramic-glow-24in-x-24in-moon-tile.html">glow moon tile</a> on the shower walls with a border of this mosaic and this <a href="http://santarosatile.com/2011/01/27/new-product-carlsbad-sandstone-look-porcelain/">tile</a> in grey for the floor.<br />
<br />
For the master bath this <a href="http://www.porcelanosa-usa.com/home/products/tile/wall.aspx/d=5501/title=Nacare_Gris">tile</a> from Porcelanosa, with <a href="http://www.buytile.com/home.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17705">natif curry</a> for the floor.<br />
<br />
I am so excited that the tile has been finalized. One decision down, 5 million more to go.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104466934914463528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611598332506102621.post-3917739780682386292011-08-03T08:00:00.000-07:002011-08-03T08:00:11.076-07:00Intro to MeatOne day last week I went on a baby food making binge. Carter is now 7.5 months and it is time he starts eating meat. While the kiddos napped I made apples with cinnamon, chicken with sweet potatoes and apples, and chicken with carrots, sweet potatoes and peas.<br />
<br />
The applesauce was the easiest to make and smelled the yummiest while cooking.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just skin and cut up 3 apples add a little water to the pan along with a cinnamon stick and simmer for around 8 minutes.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTerz_YYWFuGZ0IIQBun_6A0YSpWj18ci534BDHQMSFnWlmqViJH00Dvy1C_Jh_6sd3YuxShPbnnOUiCtYJHkfQcW5GkcBxG-TBdl_09S1NAS28AD-KFYLmE-VSIpkG8eUYFHWSZjWfpY/s1600/IMG_2292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTerz_YYWFuGZ0IIQBun_6A0YSpWj18ci534BDHQMSFnWlmqViJH00Dvy1C_Jh_6sd3YuxShPbnnOUiCtYJHkfQcW5GkcBxG-TBdl_09S1NAS28AD-KFYLmE-VSIpkG8eUYFHWSZjWfpY/s320/IMG_2292.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Puree and serve or freeze some for later.<br />
<br />

<br />
While I was making the apples, I started on the chicken and veggies. This required searing the chicken then adding chicken stock and the veggies, and simmering for about 20 min. For the chicken I just used the frozen boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins from Costco. <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also to simplify I used carrots that were peeled and ready to eat (wish I had thought of this when I was making baby food for Trent).</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ1fm7rG5VNOIMuRaDdjONrgDuE4L04d1Fs2FD5Cx8vnj6A9iPjGkH2WI9qFLk6V5JvSLVF85tmjZD1oMGYXf3lBEHNA_YU67k9IOvoeioXO_lhlf7y1_4DqjmFucy8TE1Pmv34Xgbv18/s1600/IMG_2289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ1fm7rG5VNOIMuRaDdjONrgDuE4L04d1Fs2FD5Cx8vnj6A9iPjGkH2WI9qFLk6V5JvSLVF85tmjZD1oMGYXf3lBEHNA_YU67k9IOvoeioXO_lhlf7y1_4DqjmFucy8TE1Pmv34Xgbv18/s320/IMG_2289.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Last I cooked the chicken with apples and sweet potatoes. This recipe was basically the same as above but had a little shorter cooking time.<br />

I keep changing my mind. At first I wanted tumbled marble tiles for the shower, then I found some large tiles with subtle stripes on them. Now I am leaning towards this <a href="http://www.porcelanosa-usa.com/home/products/tile/wall.aspx/d=5500/tile=Nacare_Blanco">tile</a>. <div><br />
</div><div>I am hoping this will coordinate well with the <a href="http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/detail.jsp?prod_num=819-F62">tub</a> we already bought and the vanity I want to get from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;"><a href="http://www.pier1.com/Catalog/Furniture/tabid/981/CategoryId/154/ProductId/130/ProductName/Hayworth-Mirror-Vanity-/Default.aspx#.Tjh4Frq-9Wc.blogger">Pier 1 Imports</a>. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">Even with all this picked out I still need to decide on flooring and the color of the cabinets.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

It was a foreclosure and the previous owners did not take care of it. All the carpet was stained with animal urine and dried on gum. I could not believe people lived like this.<br />
<br />
After the escrow closed, Tim tore out all of the carpet (0.88 tons to be exact) by himself and hauled it to the dump.<br />
<br />
Our next step was to patch the hole in the front door and then paint the door. This was a two person job. We also got new hardware for all the outside doors, 6 to be exact. I am now an expert in installing dead bolts and door handles. Here is the hardware we chose:<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;"><a href="http://www.kwikset.com/Products/Details/Handlesets/800ADH-LIP-11P-SMT.aspx">Ashfield Single Cylinder Handleset, Exterior Only</a></span><br />
<br />
Next the demo crew came in and tore out the kitchen and two upstairs bathrooms.<br />
<br />
Here is what it looks like now:<br />

<br />
Carter is almost six months old and has been eating solids for three weeks now. He started with rice cereal and then we added oatmeal. After two weeks of cereal and working up to two meals a day, he tried his first vegetable: peas.<br />
<br />
I love making anything for my boys and food is no exception. It is a great feeling when you make something for them and they love it. Making your own baby food is so easy to do and sometimes it can take as little as ten minutes.<br />
<br />
Here's how I did it:<br />
<br />
Start with a bag of frozen peas in a pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for four minutes. Easy and quick. Add to food processor or blender...<br />
<br />

Now I know it is a lot harder than working with wovens. You need a special needle, a special stitch and you need to know how much stretch the knit has and in which direction. I am learning a lot from this course.<br />
<br />
First project a baby blanket.<br />
<br />

I love this print. I made two blankets and still have some left over. Might make some dino shirts for the boys.<br />
<br />
Next project a tank top.<br />

Not to happy with the hem. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made red, yellow, orange and blue. The red turned out pink after the first soak so they had to be dyed again. After they were dyed I used heat transfer material and added Disney characters to each. My favorite is the baby Pluto. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next project with the heat transfer material are shirts for Trent.

During week 2 we made pants and I made the size 3T for Trent. They seemed a little tight when he tried them on and I realized I did not have the correct settings on the printer when I printed out the pattern. Oh well they fit now, but there is barely any room for a diaper.<br />

Trent really loves the slippers and I really loved making them because they were so quick to finish. To make the fleece less slippery on the bottom I wrote Trent using my hot glue gun.<br />

My name is Sarah. I am a wife, mother to two sons, a practicing pharmacist and I love to sew and create.<br />
<br />
I was in the middle of composing my first post when my 2 year old, otherwise known as little T turned the power off to my computer. Oh the joys of motherhood.<br />
<br />
For awhile now I have admired and been inspired by different crafting/sewing blogs and now I have decided to start one for myself. I hope you enjoy my adventures in motherhood and creativity.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10104466934914463528noreply@blogger.com0
