I need your blog addresses!

Hi everyone, We switched our template, as you can see and it erased all of our blog addresses. LAME. I am mad, this is why I avoided changing the template. So I have only been able to get the addresses of the people who comment on my blog. So if you don't see your name on the right I need your address and you need to comment more (ha ha). Also if you are a blog that requires an invite my e-mail is kellycrunner@hotmail.com. Thank you!

Linus' "B"

This here is Linus' precious blanket (a.k.a "B"). Many of you have read in previous posts about Linus and his "B" he is obsessed with it, and whenever I wash it he freaks out (you can read more about that in the post about "the real Linus"). So I have been looking for an identical for such situations so he has no idea he has 2, but this blanket was discontinued and after looking at every Target and having family members look in their out of state Target's there was no luck.
So about a month ago my sister who lives in Arizona was out garage selling and found the exact blanket I have been searching for! It is brand new too! She asked the lady how much for it and then told her the story about Linus and his "B" and she then said,"If it means that much to you then you can have it!" My sister called me so excited and I was also very excited but I had to see it to believe it.
So today Holly came home to visit and brought the blanket and it is really it! I am so excited to have 2 now and Linus will never know that there is 2, so when he pukes or pees on it in the middle of the night I can just switch them instead of waiting up all night to wash it before he will go back to bed. Thank you for everyone who helped try and find it and Thanks to Holly for getting it, and getting it for FREE!

Beggars can't be choosers.

My sister says," beggars can't be choosers" all the time and on a hot day in June I was about to experience it first hand.
So about a year ago I was grocery shopping. I usually get a SOBE drink and drink it on my way home and that day I was super thirsty since it was way hot out.
There is always homeless people standing at the stop light when you leave. So as I started to pull up close to the homeless man I was thinking, I bet he is hot and thirsty. I then looked down at my cold unopened SOBE, I really wanted to open it and the bright orange color was looking very delicious. It then dawned on me to give it to the homeless man.
I start to get closer to him and the light goes green so I roll down my window and handed him my beloved Orange Carrot SOBE. He then looks at me as I am driving away slowly and shouted,"I can't drink this!"
I could not believe it! Here the man is begging for food on a hot day and I gave him my beloved SOBE and he shouts at me,"I can't drink this"???? What? I was so flabbergasted. Anyways that's my crazy homeless guy story.

Headbands!

So back in May my sister and I went to the Women's expo. They had these super cute headbands there and they don't hurt your head or slip around, so basically they stay put and don't squeeze your head until you get a headache. I had to get one, and I wanted to buy like 5 but they were a whopping $16-$18! So I decided to buy 1 and then figure out how to make it myself. This is the finished products below:

This is my crocheted version ( I am just learning how to crochet).
Here is the type that they had at the expo that I just ripped off my own version. You put 4 Velcro dots inside and it keeps it from slipping.
This is how is ties in the back. I like it because it does not push my hair up in the back so you can where them with your hair down.

Linus' first haircut!

Linus is almost 2 years old and just had his first haircut yesterday. He was not very happy about it either, he really likes his hair and the girl cut it a little shorter than he wanted, but he still looks as handsome as ever!


Here he is before the haircut. He looks a little nervous.Here he is during, as you can see he is screaming. Poor little guy and there I was taking pictures.
Finally here he is after it is all over, and looking so handsome!

Boy doll!

So here it is, my boy black apple doll! If you had not seen the girl ones I made scroll down to black apple dolls post, they are super fun! I got the pattern from the most darling Emily Martin, she is such a spunky little artist who featured these dolls on Martha Stewart and was so kind to share her pattern, as long as no one sells them to make money! So I have just been having so much fun making them for gifts and I am going to make them for humanitarian aid to send them to children in Guatemala, or just where ever those sweet children need a comforting doll.

Garage Sales!

So most people that know me well know how I love a good bargain. This means I love to go to garage sales. So usually about every other Saturday throughout the summer my super cool sister and I get up super early and go hunting. So we have go some amazing deals in the past, like crazy amazing stuff. Heidi got her crib and she has gotten some way cool toys too. We always seem so find brand new cloths, and fun books and toys you name it. The best is I always seem to find exactly what I want, example, one time I wanted this specific exersacer for Linus which normally costs $70 and I found it for $3. Then another time I wanted the baby Einstein gym that is like $45 and I found it for $1. Anyways Heidi and I have been doing good this summer, this past Saturday I was trying to find outside toys for Linus and I hit the jackpot!


I got this car for Linus that is normally $60 for only $3! I was so excited because it was in perfect condition and I have wanted to get him one, since I always wanted one as a kid.
Then I got him this slide for $8 and it normally goes for $70-$80. He loved his new toys! He is spoiled it was like his birthday, we were outside for a couple hours playing. He would run to his car and play and then to his slide and back and forth.

So this is the Kitchen Aid my sister got for $10!!! It works perfect and nothing is wrong with it, the lady said she just never used it.
