Evy got a hold of one of the Googly Eyes that we had been decorating with and stuck it on her face.
I couldn't resist re-positioning it and taking some pictures ;)

Wednesday Whimsy: Epic Rap Battle Jr.
A few months ago we had a Movie Night at church. Groups were invited to put together videos and submit them and then we all watched them with popcorn! This was the 3rd year in a row for this activity and we always enjoy it. The boys decided that they wanted to make a video for it this year. We have really been enjoying watching videos by Rhett and Link on YouTube, so the boys decided to do a lip sync to one of their songs. Ady is also in the video as well as a few friends.
Here is the result. Enjoy!
Here is the result. Enjoy!
It is based on Rhett and Link's version here.

Friday Favorites and a Giveaway
My friend, Shannon, recently posted on her blog about some of her favorite things. She thought it would be fun to hear about favorites from others as well, so I thought I would join in!
One of my favorite treats right now is Vanilla Joe Joe's sandwich cookies from Trader Joe's. They are so yummy with little bits of real vanilla bean. They are the perfect non Chocolate treat!
I have been enjoying trying new Root Beer Brands and right now my favorite is Goose Island Root Beer
It is made with Cane Sugar instead of Corn Syrup, so it is really smooth.
We recently came across another brand of Root Beer that we tried, Boylan, and while I didn't love the Root Beer, they also have a Creme Soda that is awesome. It is also made from Cane Sugar and has that smooth and creamy taste.

Enough with food! Tayden got some new converse sneakers for school and I am LOVING them! I wish I had bought a pair in my size. I still might.....
Buy Me! You know you want to!
Actually Ady's are pretty awesome as well. She has a purple pair and we put rainbow shoelaces in them. I will add a picture of them when she gets home from school. They look so cute with jeans or with a skirt! ♥
Buy Me Here!
I am looking for an orange pair for Kyler, but I haven't found them in his size yet.
Now for some favortie Baby Things! It has been so fun to "start over" with Evy. We are limited on storage space, so I hadn't kept a lot of baby things from when the older kids were little. So it has been like starting over. There are so many cute and clever baby items now that didn't exist 10 years ago, or at least not that I had heard of. It is also fun to be buying it all in pink and purple this time!
One of the best things I discovered early on is Baby Legs Newborn Legwarmers! I expecially love these for a little winter baby. Her little legs were so tiny that tights would not stay on and looked so baggy and ridiculous. Baby legs are great for keeping little legs warm during diaper changes too because you don't have to take them off to get to the diaper.
I am also loving these Aden and Anais Muslin Swaddling blankets.
I wish I had discovered them when she was younger. They are lightweight and easy to tick into the diaper bag, but they still keep her nice and warm. She gets sweaty with thick blankets so these are perfect for her. They are really soft too.
This time around I am cloth diapering. There are so many options available now and they are so easy. I actually really like them. They come in lots of cute colors and patterns, they are less wasteful and expensive, and you don't get diaper rash or poop outs! Here is some of my stash.
I have tried several brands and the ones I like the best are Blueberry, Fuzzi Bunz, and Bum Genius. They are all similar and work well. I have also found a brand that works just as well and costs about a third as much, Alva Baby, so I have several of those as well. At some point I may do a blog post reviewing different brands.
And now some of my favorite Websites.
I have really enjoyed using http://www.picnik.com/ for editing photos. It is a great, free website that allows you fix blemishes and red eye, adjust the exposure and color saturation, at matting, frames, and other effects and add text to your pictures. It is really easy to use and I love how I am able to make my photos look so much brighter.
Another site I am in love with right now is http://pinterest.com/. If you have not checked it out yet, you should! It is like a photo bookmarking site. Any pictures you see on almost any website can be "pinned" on your boards and kept for you to look at later. It's fun to put together boards for inspiration for craft and sewing projects, party ideas, photography and decorating. It reminds me of when my mom would cut out pictures from magazines of ideas she wanted to make and keep them in a file in the filing cabinet. It is also a bit of a social networking site. You can "follow" other people, if you like their ideas and keep up to date on what they have "pinned". If you want to be my follower, you can find me by clicking on the pinterest icon at the top of my blog.
I will stop now. If you are even still reading after all that! I will occasionally be posting my favorite things on Fridays. Today's favorite things is also a giveaway. Leave a comment below telling me one of your favorite things. If I get at least 10 entries, next Friday I will select a winner using a random number generator at http://www.random.org/. The winner will receive a pack of Joe Joe's in the flavor of their choice. Yumm!
