Birthday Monsters

I had almost forgotten about blogging with the move and waking up every two hours at night as my 10-month old's sleeping habits regressed :( But I'm back!! We are settled in to our home and have let the little man "cry it out." For the first time since before pregnancy, I am getting a FULL nights sleep! Yippy! This is seriously worth celebrating, seriously. But rather than celebrating sleep, we will soon be celebrating someone's 1st birthday.

I have picked out a theme inspired by my son's cute PJ's (as seen here from Kohls) - Monsters.

My first project will be making the perfect monster birthday hat. And then pray that I can get my little monster to keep it on his head long enough to take at least 1 good picture ;)

Inspirations that I found on-line:

The goal is bright, ridiculous, silly, and including a monster theme. I think googly eyes are in order.

...and a few updates since I have been gone a while -

1) Our radon test came back under 2 :)
2) I have kept up with the cloth diapers and added some prefolds into rotation
3) I am still going off my first batch of laundry detergent and I like it
4) Hubby is working on a DIY project (rebuilding the wooden steps to our front door) that I should totally be blogging about
