23

Another very warm day in Central Texas. it got up into the low 80s i believe - yuck. No wonder I have a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit when the temps tell my body it's spring. gah!

We took some time to play outside today because of the fantastic weather. Both kids seem to love the fresh air.

Our only outing was to church. I brought my little old lady magnets with me and got quite a bit of attention. Grace charmed all the people sitting around us with her good manners and went out of her way to shake everyone's hands during the sign of peace. Creighton looked ever so cute snuggled into the wrap and I had many ladies peering over my shoulder to look at him.

Oh and now I must confess my new found crispy cruncy granolaness. My disclaimer is that though I now have a cruncy granola coating I still retain my nougety conservative center and only participate in activities that either save me money or do not cost me any more money so it is a combo of granola and thrift.

So back to the confession. I have worked this past week on expanding my cloth diaper stash. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll be up to 18 after some boxes come in the mail. I'm hoping that will get me through the day and bit into the next which will help with the washing. I am still going to use disposables for night as they are more absorbant and keep Creighton's skin drier. I will also use them when we travel. The second bit to the granola is I also started making my own wipes. I made them out of paper towels with Grace but this time I've taken the extra step to make fabric ones. I had a bunch of hand me down baby towels that i cut up and zig zagged around. Now I'll just keep them in a recycled wipes container with a bit of wipe solution. (water, babywash and babyoil) Combine this with my project of making my own grocery bags out of recycled fabrics and there you have it.
