It’s been a tad bit longer than two months since I updated this blog.

I have had things to say, just haven’t taken the time to do it.

Lots of happenings around the *Q* Household.

Alex breaking his arm on Easter. Poor boy feel off a chair, at least that is the story his sisters told. I knew something serious was wrong when he didn’t want to put on his new baseball glove. He also wouldn’t hold a baseball in his right hand, would just tuck it into the crook of his elbow.

His cast looking tough, after my creative thinking. Making a stencil out of the Phillies “P” and coloring it in with a black Sharpie!

Thankfully he only had to wear it for a little over 4 weeks! He was a champ and it didn’t really affect him much at all. Though he did have to forgo wearing the new baseball glove for awhile. He had no problem throwing though!

Made a few crochet items.. A hat for Todd and Sarah’s baby (don’t have a picture).

A hat and blanket for Jason and Daphne’s baby:

And another similar blanket that I have for sale on Etsy.

In other news.. I turned 30!

Brian went all out and threw me a surprise party. Walking into the darkened house and having a ton of my friends yell surprise was very cool. I felt so loved! We had a cook-out and the kids played. My friends know me so well too. Got gift cards to Starbucks, AMC, Joanne’s and got a Twilight Saga: New Moon Wolf Pack shirt!

I’m going to be watching our neighbor’s son Cole during the summer. He is 5 and the kids love playing with him. He was practically part of the family already. It’s going to be a fun summer!

This is the girls last week of school! Yesterday we had the end of the year zoo trip. We hung out with Alannah (Brianna’s good friend) and her mom. Alannah is moving out of state next week so the girls are trying to spend a lot of time together. Cole was with us as well. The kids had a blast and we got to see the new Polar bear exhibit for the first time. Every year they get a stuffed animal from the gift shop. This year they all got polar bears.

There was a lot more going on.

Now I forget.

I should have just blogged, but such is life.

I hope to be more consistent now!

2012 and naps on rainy day!

We love a good disaster movie and 2012 is pretty action packed. We watched it this morning and the encore performance is going on right now.

I sold my other blanket on Etsy! Wahoo! I’ve been spending all my free time crocheting.  Trying to figure out the next blanket I want to do. Something fun for sure!

1. Brian got a new job. It’s a promotion. He will now be a managing 11 customer service representatives. It is a huge answer to prayer as we are trying to pay off debt by following Dave Ramsey without having to get a second job.

2. I sold the first blanket I ever listed on Etsy this week. At first I didn’t understand why I had received money in my paypal account from someone I didn’t know. Then I saw the email from Etsy and I started jumping up and down with excitement! I have another blanket and a hat and scarf set to list. I am working on a new blanket.

It’s been a good week!

I have a new friend.

We’ve gotten very close over the last couple of weeks.

I’ve been with him through thick and thin, from his first chain to his finally being able to see!

My children are all excited to have him done with all his “surgery”.

It was rough only being a body and legs for weeks.

Alex hugs him so tightly, I’m afraid he won’t be able to breathe!

The girls are scraping together all their coins to try and buy him.

They have settled for asking for sock monkeys made by me for Christmas.

My friend has just been listed on Etsy.

He sits, patiently waiting for a family to love him just as much as we do!
