THIS is why I think Kyle is too skinny..

Knit-tastc

My newest obsession, well, besides the awesome Apple Airport Express that enables me to blast ABBA and Bread in my kitchen, is these cloths my grandma has been knitting for me! They are the size of a standard washrag, she uses 100% cotton, and they are so fantastic! She intended them for use in the kitchen, and they are so great. They are soft and clean so easily, but the loops/stitches make them grab stuff/scrub really well. I have started buying them from her (I insisted, since I have like 15) and use some in the kitchen and some for bathing the kids she is so great she just takes the $ and buys more yarn!

Here are some pics, since I am so obsessed I thought I'd spread the word. I never would have thought of these. She also makes gorgeous baby blankets. She definitely logs some hours under her OTT-Light :)

Kid's Meal!

Both of my children officially require their own meal at restaurants! That's not to say there isn't any Robin Hood action going on from mommy and daddy's plates to the kids' - especially since they eat as much as we do.

Ella had her very first kid's meal at McAlister's a couple weeks after her first birthday:



And Kyle had his first kid's meal at Yes! McAlisters! A couple weeks after his first birthday!



Ella likes to point out that SHE is the one with "boy hair" in these pics. Here she is three years later with real girl hair.
