Big Orange ~

Sorry about yesterday. I forgot that the hubby would be off of work for Veterans Day and we spent it shopping for tile. We picked out travertine for the fireplace surround. And he also treated the family to a good Korean Dinner! He took us to a place that he went with his work buddies. I have to admit that i was was nervous getting out of the car and very nervous about going into this "restaurant". But the food was GREAT! I was going to post this last night but oh...around the kids bedtime baby boy fell and busted his lip. I mean split it wide open. Ofter i got him settled down and got it on ice he was doing ok. Not 30 minutes later my daughter bounced off the couch and fell and guess what....she busted her lip! I swear if someone sees my kids in the next day or so and notices that they both have big fat busted lips i might have a visit from child services.



Ok back on track. I will start by saying that i'm a huge germaphobic! And it has got worse since i have had kids. I have had some horrifying experiences the past few years with my kids. I'll give you an example: I remember this like it was yesterday...i took my 4 week old daughter to TJ Maxx with me to do some shopping. And this lady was admiring my sweet little girl. She then proceeded to pull out her pacifier and touch ...TOUCH her mouth and hands before i could stop her! WHAT!! What are people thinking!! You don't touch a strangers baby! Not the hands...NOT the mouth. Don't get me started about people taking my kids pacifiers out of their mouth. Ok ....you get the picture...i hate germs and people touching my kids with their germs. So long after my son was out of his car seat carrier i started seeing these TENT like things on other peoples carriers. I knew i could totally make one of those (they run $35-$40 on etsy). My friend asked me if i could make one for her new baby so i said yes. I knew she and her hubby were huge Tennessee VOLS fans so i wanted this to reflect that. :o) And here it is.....Car seat carrier Tent!

Love the orange polka dots! :) It not only keeps other peoples hands away from babies face it also keeps baby safe from airborn germs. Wish i had made one of these for my two.

Here is baby tucked sweetly inside. I took these pics at church cause that was the only chance i had to take a pic with it on a carrier. She was so glad to get it. And i was happy to make it for her.

Happy Friday!
