Fall Crafts

So after joining Pinterest I have been on the crafty side lately.. And I love it!! So far I have started a blanket for roman(have a lot more to finish), made a yarn wreath, and decorated a pumpkin. They have so many inspirations out there.. I love that site.

Start of Roman's Blanket

As you can see I haven't finished that much..lol.. I did do another strand besides that one. Will post later.

Yarn Wreath

Everything you need to make a yarn wreath.

You hot glue the end of the yarn down and start wrapping around. Longest step.

You cut out felt flowers. There are many different ways to make them.


Finished Product.

I plan on making these for every season and for Christmas gifts as well.

Fall Pumpkin

So I bought this Spray Paint at Michael's and LOVE it.. It turned out so pretty!! This wasn't the lace I wanted but it turned out cute anyway. And i made a few flowers made out of felt for the top.. : )

"No more Paci"

So this is very Big news for our family... NO more "Butt" as Roman calls his paci. I have no idea where he got that word from. Last Friday I decided it was time that we took away the paci cold turkey. He hasn't been wanting it that much lately so it was the perfect opportunity. I laid him down for bed Friday night and he didn't even cry or ask for it. Saturday he cried just for a few minutes during his nap and that was it. That night when I put him down to sleep he looked at me and said "butt" when those sweet blue eyes.. I've been telling him that his paci is for babies and that he is a big boy now. And that his paci went bye bye in the garbage.. But he hasn't cried for his paci though or asked for it since. I can't believe its been 4 days and he still hasn't had it. I feel bad sometimes when he is fussy because he still hasn't cut his 2 bottom incisors or 2 year old molars. The paci was good when he was teething because he would chew on. Now he doesn't have anything to chew on when his teeth hurt. And it's kinda bittersweet since he has had a paci since he was born. : ( Just means he is growing up on me.

He had a boo boo on his lip from hitting it on the table. : (

Watching the airplanes

I love this little boy SO much...

Being his silly self..

"Pure Happiness"

I follow my friend Brandie's blog, beautiful, Endless Sky, and she mentioned that everyone should post a happy list. I have SO much to be happy about these days.

Ten things making me happy this week!!!!!
1.) My amazing son, Roman Rybin. He is changing every day. And I love him MORE and MORE as life goes on.
2.) This amazing weather that October has brought us.
3.) My new job. I couldn't be more happy with what I do now. And more time with Roman.
4.) Roman's new swing set that my dad and ruslan has built for him.(will blog about this when they are finished with it.)
5.) Everytime we go somewhere roman says bye to everyone and blows them kisses. He has such a sweet soul.
6.) The random phone calls I get from my family.
7.) Nice cold glass of sweet tea.
8.) Clean clothes.
9.) The kisses I get from roman.
10.) Christmas decorations being set up at my job.

-I hope anyone else who blogs will post a happiness blog. Its nice to think about everything that makes you happy!! : )

Roman this time last year.. What a handsome young man.

"Momma's Boy was having a meltdown without me today"

Recently I have joined a group called mops in Richmond Hill. Today was supposed to be my first meeting since I missed the last one. I got there and took Roman to his room that he was supposed to be in while I was in class. He was fine when i dropped him off and I quietly left without him seeing me. Maybe 5 Min's later the lady from the room came and got me and said roman wouldn't stop crying. She said he started crying after my friend Brandie dropped off her little girl cambria. Roman and Cambria are both friends so I think he was confused because normally we are all together when they have play dates. I stayed for a few minutes while he calmed down and sneaked out again. Again, 5 Min's later she came back to get me and said he wouldn't stop crying by the door and wanting momma. This happened about 4 times. So after the 4th attempt I gave up and got him and left. I felt bad for him and cried a little myself. I hate seeing him upset. I kinda feel like i abandoned him. But i know I didn't. He needs to get used to this being in class for when he starts school in a few years. My mother-in-law watches him when i work and he crys when i drop him off still after 2 years of her watching him. But only for a few Min's she says. I mean sometimes I wish I could send him to a daycare to get used to being around other people besides me and ruslan all the time. I just never want to put my kids in a daycare environment. So I'm in bind and don't know if I should try to go back and see how he does.. The moms where all very nice and said alot of kids do this. I just don't want to go there and keep missing the classes because I'm having to calm roman down every 5 Min's. : (

"Roman's 2nd Birthday Party"

We had Roman's birthday party yesterday and it was a huge success.. We had tons of family there(almost all of Ruslan's family of course..lol) and a few friends. It was a little hectic but it turned out perfect. All the kids where on top of roman when he was opening presents so he wasn't that interested this time. Maybe by christmas he will be. : ) I didn't get as many pictures as i would of liked to but i did get a few. :)
