Freezer Paper T-shirts

Alright, I came across this freezer paper tshirt idea on iammommahearmeroar.blogspot.com (a blog I LOVE), and I decided to try it. It is very easy, though I found that with some shirts, the fabric absorbs more, and the more layers of paint you put on, the worse the stencil gets. But... it's still a great/easy way to make individual t-shirts. I'm not going to repeat the process... I'll just link the process that iammommahearmeroar did.. because she made a great video.

Here are some examples of my first work... I wish I'd planned the pirate shirt better... I'd like to have done an anchor on the pocket, but I hadn't planned it well so the "Ahoy matey" was an after thought:

Videos for You...

Here are two ADORABLE videos of Killian singing.. I just had to post them :)

Play dates with Kids, momma, Gigi and Gammie

Killian's had LOTS of play dates lately... Both with other children and with his Gammie. Since I have a 3 week class... with school from 9-12 everyday, I couldn't take Killian to a local Touch-a-truck event that I knew he's LOVE. So I asked my mom. Well she took Killian and he fell even more in love with cars/trucks :)

 

His favorite truck... cement truck - DIZZY

 Gammie and Killian at touch-a-tuck

 So this picture warrants some explanation.. when my little sister was little (2/3), my mom took pictures of her in Trilliums every year. So of course, when she got Killian alone without me watching over, she quickly took him to take pictures of him in the Trilliums.

 Killian LOVES baseball right now. So we brought his baseball tee and bat outside. He's pretty good at throwing.. not great at hitting or catching. But he'll get there :)

 Killian and I have taken play dates too... here we went to the park and flew a kite. I haven't ever flown a kite before, and I couldn't get the kite to stay in the air. But Killian didn't mind, he just liked running along with it.

 Killian went to a play date with his 2 girl-friends. We brought his trike along and he quickly started racing his friend B.

 He played on the swing set with the girls. Killian loves the tire swing.

We also went to Gigi's house to see her after she got out of the nursing home.

 He made lemonade with his Great-Uncle Charles. Then he wanted to "click" his cups with his Great-Aunt Darcee.

 Looking at pictures with Great-Uncle Charles

At home, he started to cook in his kitchen (only 6 months after I made it). 

He's having so much fun now that it's spring/summer. I love being outdoors and he loves it too. I'll get photos of the garden soon. :)

It's been TOO long

Alright, it's been about a month since I've posted. My biggest excuse is that my semester got CRAZY. But now I'm finished with the semester, just in time to start a new class. (only three weeks this time :) ). So it's definitely time to catch up... and what a better way to do it than bunches and bunches of photos?

This photo was Easter dinner. We had Easter dinner with my mom, but my dad came over as well. My sister Jackie flew in from San Fran, which was awesome to see her :)

Killian had at least 4 easter egg hunts... this one was at my mom's and it was number 4. Do you spot his basket?

He loves hiding under this ottoman like a cat.. not sure why.

At the end of April, I received a few scholarships towards my last semester at UW-O, YAY! Here my mom and dad and I are all together for the award ceremony.

Along with 4 (or more) egg hunts, we painted eggs at least 5/6 times. Here we painted with my mom's ex-neighbors and family friends.

Easter morning after egg hunt at my moms.. Killian said, "Cheese" for the photo, then looked into his basket and said, "I love chocolate". HAHA

These photos are very much out of order.... but here he is on Mother's Day "fixing" the barn.

He also tried lifting a section of hay.

He's learning to ride his pony by himself. This is an action shot of him swinging his leg over.

This is a great action shot of him saying "HO" and pulling back on the reins.

He really loves his Little Bear.

On Mother's Day I decided I needed some great photos of us... so we goofed around with photobooth.

A very nice picture of our family :)

I got Killian a scooter. He tries VERY hard to use it :)

First egg coloring experience at home... he's very concentrated.

Our finished eggs. He cracked 3+... but he got better the more he painted.

The day before Easter he got to do an egg hunt at the park. My dad came along..

Hunting for the 14 eggs he could pick up off the grass :)

That Saturday we also went to an Easter party... he painted eggs there as well.

AND, that same Saturday (PHEW we were busy Easter weekend), we painted eggs and had an egg hunt at my dads.

He loved the scissor egg-catcher-things. One in each hand.

Playing trucks/cars with Gampa after egg hunt.

My sis had a leash around him like a dog... don't worry, he liked it.

Easter morning he had an egg hunt at home... finding his basket.

His goodies from his basket. Yes, he has pirate PJS on :)

Finding his first egg.

And. since these photos are all out of order, here is back at my moms.

Killian with his Gigi and Great Aunt Darcee Easter morning.

Gammie got Killian trucks for Easter... they were a big hit

And then Killian went out side to dig in Gammie's garden. He was SO filthy by noon.

So.... we've also been swimming as usual. Here's killian in his swimming gear. Yes.. adorable.

My mom came along and got some photos of us both swimming.

Killian modeling for my mom

Mother's day we went to green bay to see my gma (Gigi). On the way home, the tired boy fell asleep mid-turn-of-page.

 

Here he is sitting on Great Aunt Darcee's Walker.

So... that's it for photos. We've been enjoying the weather and biking, playing at the park, and working in the garden. Killian's a garden fiend! I can't get him away from there. We spent 2.5 hours at the garden on Thursday (it was 82 degrees here!), and he got sunburned because he didn't want to leave.

I'm definitely going to get back to posting at least once a week... and posting some projects that I'm finally going to get around to doing :) hopefully life will calm down until September now. We need some calmer weeks.
