Sewing the seeds of love

Blasto is progressing nicely and Camille is cruising along.Although in this picture you cannot tell she is pregnant...weird. Anyway, Camille has been hit with the 'Craft Bug' in which she feels an overwhelming need to sew millions of burp clothes, blaknies, and other little things for Blasto. In her search for the cutest fabric ever, she was lucky enough to get a great tip from our good friend, Nicole (shout out to Nicole in Utah!!). Thanks to her tip, Camille was happy. Adam was even more happy when he was given the ok to get both Batman and Spiderman fabric so that Blasto will feel more manly. G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Star Wars were out of stock...the search continues. Camille was very hard at work, and you don't mess with Camille when she is at work. As many of you who have attempted to call Camille during tax season have found out.Camille was very pleased with the finished product. It is a burp cloth for those of you who didn't know. Adam thought it was very cool until he found out that this is what Blasto will puke all over. He then began to second guess his decision for Batman fabric...Adam exclaimed, "I mean, who pukes on Batman!!??"

On another baby related note...we got a car seat. Blasto will now be able to safely travel with us outside the womb. A brave bear volunteered his services to be our test run. Note: No animals were harmed in the making of this blog...however, shortly after this picture was taken Adam did throw the bear around like it was a basketball.

They're Magically Delicious

When Camille was a little girl her mother would get up on St. Patrick's day morning and make her and her sister green pancakes. Camille thought that since we didn't really do anything to celebrate the day we should carry on the tradition. Camille was very eager to stir the pancake mixture that was sprinkled with magic pixy drops to make it green.Adam's job was to make the green eggs, which, by the looks of his face, he too was very eager to carry out.
The eggs turned out to be a lot more 'festive' than we anticipated. They were so green!!
The magic pixy drops even made their way into the milk that we drank.
In the end, the overpowering green eggs turned out to look more like salad. If you closed your eyes they would taste like eggs, but to look at them while you ate made them taste different. Mind over matter...
The green pancakes were fit for a leprechaun king...or Adam, becuase he ate a lot of them. His insides had to be stained green for weeks.
