Snow, Snow, and MORE Snow!!

Ohio just keeps getting snow storm after snow storm. The worst part about it is that our metal shovel really sucks!!! It was left from the previous owners and it's all bent up therefore when you shovel it scrapes the cement like finger nails on a chalk board.......EKKK!!! You can only imagine the sound. I have tried several times to find a new shovel but they are all OUT everywhere. That is NUTS!!! Why are the stores here not prepared for snow?? Either that or the people of OHIO decide to wait until the first storm to go by like 5 shovels at a time. Who knows. But Todd has been a good little shovel man for us this winter.
Todd sporting his "attire" before one of his ward basketball games. Now if that isn't sexy???
In my spare time in the evenings or on weekends, I have been making baby gifts because so many people in my ward and other personal friends are pregnant and will need some cute gifts to celebrate their new little one. This picture and the one below are small tag blankets that kids just love to look at and put in their mouths. They are about the size of of a hand towel.
My personal favorite...."Polka dots!" I had to make one for our future little one because they are so cute!!
These diaper burp clothes make great gifts, and are used often from what I hear. I made some for both boy and girls. They are so fun and easy to whip together.

How can you resist cute hair bows and headbands on little girls? I started making these one night and couldn't stop because there were so many cute colors and ribbons to choose from.
I took some of my projects to work to show my friends and a lady ended up buying 5 ribbon bows from me for her girl. I am sure I will get better at them, these are my first attempt.

Oh believe me you will be getting a ton of practice in the bow making department!! Elodie is almost 6 and I still make bows for her hair!! It's addicting! Very rarely do my girls not have bows in their hair!

i'll make sure to send to send you some when your baby girl comes!

Todd! I feel for you for having to shovel all that snow! I have shoveled 99% of the snow we have gotten since Jared can't really do it with his knee. It's a workout!
