Diapers

I've switched to cloth diapers pretty much. I bought a bunch of cheap, made in China pocket diapers off eBay. They are very brightly colored. I like them ok. They are very simple to use, but they are quite bulky. I also would like some more, different styles, that sort of thing. I've started making some with my mom. To actually go out and buy cloth diapers is a ridiculous expense. they are like 20 bucks each. Crazy. They come in all sorts of cute and luxurious fabrics and are made in the USA and all that jazz, but really, I can't afford them. After all, this is supposed to be saving money. So Rather than stock my diaper bag with name brand diapers I have decided to make my own. I sew, a skill I am glad to have, but rarely put to use. I wish I had more time and hands so I could do the necessary work required to make them awesome and perfect, but they are, so far, good enough.

I think I need to make a trip to the thrift store for fabrics.

The sandbox

Junior has a purple sandbox that we inherited from the neighbors. I think it's a dinosaur. My mom and Steve Bought some sand for it a couple of months ago and Junior loved it. One time we put a little water in it to make shapes or something and he hasn't liked it since. I guess it's never completely dried out, but it's pretty much there. Since Karina can sit by her self I put her in it and she loved it. She tasted it of course. What fun we will have at the beach next week!




You can't tell me he isn't the most charming little dude ever.
