My Craftiness

I had started looking around at getting those trendy headbands for the new baby because we all know she won't have much hair for the first part of her life (you can thank my genetics for that one). I decided that they really didn't look all that hard to make and went for it. I found a video on youtube that showed me how so make the headband and went from there to this...

Not the best picture because I took it with my cell phone to send to my sister because she is also having a girl and so I made a set for her as well. I am hoping that I can maybe find some other colors of tights and flowers to add to the collection but this is a good start.

Here is a close up of what one looks like put together. I am pretty proud of myself for figuring it out. I can't wait to have our little girl here to try them out!!

Farewell

We had to say goodbye to one of our fish this week. Ever since we got the fish the white one (named Mommy) has picked on the little black/gold one (named Nemo) and it was just too much for him. I thought that I would post the obituary that Josh wrote up, Aspyn and I were at a play date when he took care of it and so he sent it by text to let me know.Just to let you know Nemo died last night, he was pronounced dead at approximately 10:47 AM on February 1st 2010, he was approximately two months old. It is thought that he passed away peacefully during the night, after a long struggle of repeated abuse. Upon confirmation of his death, he was given a quick funeral service and was then buried at sea. Nemo left behind an abusive wife, who is the only person of interest in an on going investigation in his unexpected death. In lieu of flowers, Nemo requested cash donations so that a much bigger fish can be purchased and avenge his death.
(Just so you know, we did get another fish yesterday to replace Nemo. Aspyn picked out the same color of fish and named him Nemo. But he is bigger and fights back so they seem to be getting along. Hopefully we don't have any more deaths.)

Sports Girl!

This last weekend we went to a couple of girls basketball games at Princeton. We just went to get out of the house and give us something to do. But Aspyn had a blast and everyday tells me she wants to go to another basketball game. She even told us that when she gets older she wants to play basketball. Josh may have her brainwashed already to be a sports girl! I took a few pictures of her at the game but since I only had my cell phone they aren't the best pictures but you get the idea.

Here she is watching them play. She knew all the right times to cheer and would clap when they made a basket.

Here she is saying, "Go Tigers!!" for me with her baby duckie that goes with us everywhere right now.

The rest of the time was spent climbing over the bleachers and...

going up and down the stairs.

This last picture she wanted to cheese-it for me but I was a little slow, still a cute picture though. Not only did she play around a lot she also had fun telling me she needed to go the the toilet about a million times when we were there. I took her a couple of times and the last time we were climbing up the stairs back to Josh and about half way there she stopped and yelled to him, "Daddy, I went poo-poo!!" Everyone around us started to laugh and she went on with climbing the stairs. That's my daughter!!
