New Bag

I made a new bag this past week to use for the kids.  I made the back out of a pair of Brian's old jeans, and some fabric I had around the house.  I bought pre made handles.  The bag has 6 different pockets.  This is the first time I have put in this type of zipper pockets, and I'm very proud of how they turned out.  

I really enjoy making bags.  I like making bags better than clothes.  When I told Brian I was making a new bag, he had to make sure that I had a use for it.

Free Play House

We found this house on the side of the road.  I was able to spend an afternoon cleaning it up, and Addison and Corbin have been enjoying the free house!

Projects for out trip to Grandma and Grandpa's House

We leave for MI in about about week.  Here is a few projects that I have made to help the trip go a little smoother.  I used several Pinterest tutorial to make these projects. I have included the links of the pins that I used.

New bags to hold all their clothes.  I used this tutorial to make them.  I made Corbin and Addison's first, and then made another trip to the fabric store to find fabric for Mile's bag.  I was super excited when I found Miles dinosaur fabric in the clearance racks.  Gotta love 60% off!!  :)  Each bag cost about $8.  Everything I bough was on sale.

Lap trays for eating and coloring on.  I used this tutorial to make them.  I used my left over fabric instead of buying a place mat.  I also didn't want to buy beans, so I used stuffing that I already had a home.   I bought the trays at the dollar store.

Next, I made two crayon and coloring book holders.  I loosely followed this tutorial to make them.  In the pockets I included a mini coloring activity book, and a sticker book for each child.  Corbin has a Spongebob book and Addison has a Dora the Explorer book.

Miles almost 2 months and smiling

Addison and Corbin both love having fun with Miles.  

Addison decided that Miles need to hear a story.  She was convinced that this would stop him from crying.

Today, Corbin and Addison enjoyed playing in the blow up pool that Daddy found on the side of the road.  They played in the morning before nap, and then again after nap.  I think this free pool with be hours and hours of fun for them this summer.  Daddy even got in on the cold water fun.
