I started packing up, and then decided I was done for a little while (we still haven't found renters, and I don't want to be living completely out of boxes). I have also been trying to keep the house extra clean in case people call and want to come take a look at it with only a moments notice. The house is pretty much always clean, but it has been a bit cluttery with all the projects I have been working on, and I CAN NOT FUNCTION when things are disorganized...
I decided to make the kids some warm jammie pants, and whipped out 6 pairs in a day. I also started and finished Ava's birthday quilt at the same time. There was flannel all over the house! Everything turned out so cute! I am super excited for the weather to cool down more so the kids can wear the cute pants. Nathan picked out ALL of the fabric. He was so excited about his dinosaur pjs...they are his favorite.

Here is the quilt!
And a close up:
This "patch" quilt is so simple! I really shouldn't tell how to do it, because then you may think it is less fabulous. I did one this same way for Nathan a while ago, and it is super cute too. You can see it HERE. If you want to know how to make one let me know, and I will do a post about it. Thanks Clair for teaching me how!!!
Ava has been taking more steps lately. Yesterday she took about 4 steps a few times...I had the phone and she really wanted it so she was distracted. Seems like she walks more when we have something she wants...
The weather is cooling down, and I am loving it. We went to the park yesterday, and it was so nice, that we went to a different one today! We had a picnic, and fed the ducks, the kids had a blast. While I was packing I found 2 boxes of Ritz crackers that were in the back of the cupboard, and they were stale so that is what we fed the ducks... I had a stack in my hand and Ava grabbed one. She kept reaching it out like she was going to give it to the ducks so I helped her throw it in. She got so sad! I guess she wanted it eat it... I forgot the camera but promised Nathan we will go back again soon. I will try and get some cute shots then.

Way to go on all of the projects!!
Seriously, you are one amazing woman!!!
Sounds like you are busy. I love the new pj's and quilt!
I love those projects! It was nice to chat tonight!
Monica, you do realize how lame the rest of us feel after reading your posts right?! :) Your house is always clean and you whip out 6 pair of pajama pants and a quilt in a day?! Seriously? I don't know how you do it. You are one amazing Mom. I'd be happy if I could just keep the house clean. (You seriously scored with her Tyler, that is not normal you know, she is very exceptional!) Great job on your projects, love the quilt!
Everything turned out so cute! I love the fabric--especially the prints with the elephants and owls. Those kids are going to be so snuggly!
The pj's and the quilt are so cute and cozy looking. I am glad the weather is cooling down for you and that Nathan and Ava will get to wear them soon.
SO CUTE! Wish I knew how to sew!
I am also loving the waether cooling down. It has been about 55 degrees in the morning which is a little chilly but it definitely feels like fall which I love! Nice sewing skills. I would not have a clue?!?
You are amazing! I've always wanted to make pajama pants! Now I'm inspired again. If only I knew how to sew and were as talented as you! Congrats on being a new auntie, too! :)
