it was a weird tough weekend for us. originally our plan was to go camping at my parents. but on thursday they came here instead to prepare funeral arrangments for my dads brother who is not doing so well :( so instead, we spent easter at home.
i'd rather nathan not learn that every holiday is filled with a grip of candy. which we all know the easter bunny has nothing to do with the crucifixion. so instead we went with more useful items. our summer will be primarily spent at the beach. so we got him some toys to play with (in the car and on the beach), a new sand bucket, 2 pairs of sandals, 2 pairs of crocs, 2 new swim trunks, 2 rash guards, new sunglasses, new hat, and a "swim cover-up" (aka a shorter bathrobe)

can someone please explain to me why both of these hooks are "G", and although they're different brands, they're also TOTALLY different!!

re-purposing little boy shirts
nathan has these long sleeve shirts that i got only 6 months ago. i knew they wouldn't last (size wise) until next winter. so i decided to turn them into short sleeves so i can still get some use out of them this summer.

Awareness Ribbon Hat
------------------------------------------------------------->
as you see, i'm a team captain this year for our local relay for life event! (click here if you want to donate) i wanted to make a special hat to wear and someone on etsy referred me to this pattern from crafty andy. at first glance i was thinking it was WAY beyond my crocheting skills! i've never used a graph and intermingled colors like this before. but his pattern was written in lamens terms that i had no problem figuring it out! so if you crochet, challenge yourself and you may be surprised :)
