Guess I forgot to blog yesterday. Oops.
Wednesday night after Vallerie was in bed I decided to move my craft room/office into the spare room we have. It was a big task, but I got it all done. My reasons for wanting to do it were: That room gets more sunlight, It's a little quieter I think, I really wanted a nice space for the spare room for when my mom visits (thinking of bring the twin bed from storage to our house), and I just wanted a change. I organized the stuff in there, so it's not all scattered about. I still have a closet to clean out (in the NEW spare room), but I will tackle that another time.
Yesterday Vallerie had her 2 year check up. She went in the office pretty well.and she was having fun in the waiting room. She would run around and stand on the triangles that had on the carpet. Once we got into the room though, she was very unhappy. Eddie thinks that she remembers the nurse that brought us back. That nurse was the one who gave her all of her shots last time. She screamed and cried the whole time. It was hard for the doctor to give her the check up, but we got through it. No shots this time. The only one she will need is the flu shot until she is 5 and then she'll get more. So far though she is growing right on target. She's 26lbs!
After we were done there (she was totally fine after we left the room) we went to the game store. Eddie returned the game he bought the other day and exchanged it for another one. Then we went to Walmart and got a little food for dinner. We had Nachos! They were great!
After Vallerie was in bed I started crocheting more of her doll. I got the head and body finished and stuffed. I added the eyes (safety eyes) and started on the legs. I think I did a good job on the shoe. I surprised myself LOL. I also crocheted a block for the hair. I saw a couple tutorials online for how to make curly hair. One of them suggested wrapping yarn around knitting needles then getting it wet and baking it in the oven. The other suggested crocheting a block of yarn and then letting it air dry for 3-10 days and then unraveling it (makes more wavy hair rather than curly). I decided to try the 2nd one only because Vallerie really doesn't have long cascading curls (yet?). I am really impatient, so I wet it and then put it in the dryer. I will unravel it tonight and see if it holds.
Today is the picnic! I am really excited. I am going to leave work around 12 so Eddie and I can buy the food/drinks. We're going to drop Vallerie off at his sisters house so we can shop in peace. Then we'll pick her up, and her cousin Rochelle and go to the picnic. Right now it's raining. Not hard, but it's still raining. Everyone is so happy that it's raining, but I want it to stop! At least for today, then it can rain all it wants. I will be super sad if we get rained out. I checked the weather, and it doesn't say anything about rain tonight, so that's probably a good thing.
Tomorrow my sister will be in town. We're going to meet up at Arni's for lunch with her and my aunt, gpa, and uncle.
Not sure what we're doing on Sunday. Hopefully nothing too exciting. I need a nap! LOL! I will probably be able to get Vallerie's doll finished this weekend. If it turns out good, then I will probably make her another one, or maybe make one for Eddie's sister's daughters. (In likeness of them).
That's about all I know for now...
