Life this Summer

Life has been very odd of late. I don't feel great so the boys have been doing a lot more unsupervised activities (meaning a mess), pitching in more and doing less outside the home. Anyways here are a few random photos of whats been going on.

 Mothers Day the boys helped daddy make a card they were so proud! 
(yes they dressed themselves)

  The boys surprised me by cleaning their room extra good they even made a sign (its taped on the top bunk). I was so proud of them they thought of it all by themselves and they really did do a great job!
 The boys were bored so we (mostly I) made a car garage out of boxes and surprisingly they have played with it for about 2 months! Why do I buy toys again?
 I had a particularly sick day and decided I needed to finish painting my dressers, why you ask? I don't know, I was miserable! Broc was kind enough to capture it on camera, all while I was wearing my worst and hadn't showered in who knows how long, these are the moments that are real people!




Our Summer feels like it has just begun but school starts in about a month! I know, I know where did the time go? Some good news is that I am starting to feel a bit better slowly things are getting done and meals starting to be made again. In 6 weeks we get to find out what we are having and I can not wait!!!! 
Happy summer everyone!

Cereal box Car garge

Or in our case Amazon box car garage, ha!
There is no tutorial but there are a lot of pictures in case you want to try to make one too.  
Warning we used a TON of hot glue!

 The boys were bored so we (mostly I) made a car garage for their hot wheels.
 

 There is even a parking lot made out of tape although it didn't last long before they had peeled the tape off.

 Ramps and tunnels included they loved it and have actually been playing with it for 2 months (yeah I'm behind, oh well!)

Here they are playing with it or fighting I can't remember ;o)

Happy Summer!

More Free Patterns added!

I have been adding a lot of free boy patterns lately! 
I should say that I don't get any kind of compensation for showing off these patterns. I like people to know there are free boy patterns out there so they can use them! When I first started sewing for my boys I had such a hard time finding ANY free boy patterns! I could find tons and tons of girl stuff but not for the boys. That is why I started a free boy patterns page so everyone could have access to a master list.


Here are some of the most recent ones I have found:

 
  Freshly completed has a free shorts pattern here its about a size 2T.


 Nap time creations shares a free pattern for overalls, she even has a version for a romper and a girlified one as well! Sizes 2T & 3T.



 Helping little hands has a free pattern for newborn comfy pants, look at the cute cuffed bottom!


 Free PJ Pants Sewing Pattern
 Here is a free PJ bottom pattern for sizes 18 months to 5 years, don't they look so comfy?
 Football tutorial 157
 This is a free pattern/template for a football softie so cute right?
