April 6th

Yesterday I tried crocheting again, and I think I have it figured out. I ended up making a ball. It's a little messy, but both Eddie and I thought it was decent for my first try. I started another one, and it's already looking better than the 1st one. Now all I need is some fluff to put in the inside. I am hoping to make an octopus amigurami. I have the pattern in a book from the library. It looked like the easiest one to do. (Since I only know like 2 stitches)

After I got off of work I watched a funny episode of the Simpsons, ate some cereal... ALPHABITS! I found them at the grocery. I was SO happy!! (I haven't seen them in years)

Then Eddie and I watched some tv and went to bed.

I think we'll buy Vallerie's sandbox today. We found one online that we like. The lid is actually 2 benches that fold up and down. Here's a pic:

It's not too expensive either. We'll have to shop a little to see where has the best price. I think we're also going to go to Rural King and Toys R Us to see what they have. We really wanted one that Vallerie could play in, and then if her 3 cousins came over they could play in too.

Not sure what our Easter plans are. My idea for Vallerie's Easter basket was to put sandbox toys in it. She really doesn't need candy and all that junk. Maybe a cute little stuffed animal or something. If we did get candy, I know who would end up eating it. (Me) Next year though, she'll get the good stuff.
