Beds and Cute Stuff

I was going through our recent pictures and found a bunch of funny pictures of Lucas. He's been climbing into the laundry hamper lately. He's thinks it's hilarious.

He loves to play with our Swiffer sweeper thing so I shortened it so he can handle it a little better. Now he mops the floor for me.

It snowed yesterday morning and Lucas was really excited about it. We had to stop and stare at it for a while before church.

I love how handsome he looks in his church clothes and with his hair parted.

I was making the bed today and Lucas decided he did not want the pillows to be straight. He's actually been playing on our bed and messing up the pillows a lot lately. He's such a scamp!

And speaking of beds, I've already made a couple quilts for Lucas's crib, but the other day I decided to use the left over scraps and make him matching pillowcases.

Isn't that little pillow so cute. I actually made the pillow too. I just took some plain white fabric, and basically made a pillowcase but stuffed it with batting and sewed it shut.

Lucas likes his pillow. He likes to climb into his crib and read every once in a while, too. He can't climb out, yet, but he'll figure it out soon enough and then we'll be in trouble.

Also, I didn't realize it when I snapped the picture, but that second picture where it looks like Lucas is praying... Lucas was saying hug. I thought he was praying so I asked him if he was praying and he said no, then pointed at the page, and wrapped his arms around himself and said "hug" very clearly. I don't know if you can tell but the dinosaur is hugging his mom in the picture. It's amazing what kids pick up on and understand.

And lastly, I've really been wanting a head board for our bed. I think it will make our room look so much better. But we've just put it off for so long now, that I'm debating if we should just wait till Ryan gets a job and we can afford a whole bedroom set, or should I just make a cheap one now that way we have something until we're rich enough to have a real room. I found this tutorial and I think I really want to make it. But I've never made anything out of wood before so I'm hesitant. I photoshopped it behind our bed to see what it would look like. Doesn't it look so good?
