The dread pirate...

My mom's birthday was yesterday, and in honor of such a great event I made her something. She had said she would like a pirate like the one I made Ruby. So I got to work. I decided of course to get going on this project on Tues, birthday is on Thursday. Why be smart about such things? I love the pressure! Someday I will realize how super not fun the pressure is and it will motivate me into being organized.
Behold the Dread Pirate Chadwin! Or Pirate Grandpa as he is known.







I will tell you that putting hair on this guy is a horrendous task. So, since I was running late and only hours before mom's birthday dinner J had the brilliant idea to stick a mustache on him and he would be my dad. And that is the story of the dread pirate Chadwin.



He's pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. The boy loves him, but he loves his Grandpa so it makes sense. Even Tater calls him Grandpa. 10,000 awesome points for me!

I am doing this health challenge and I got to tell you, it's been very difficult for me to get 10,000 steps a day in. Much of caring for a baby involves sitting and caring for the baby. Have you tried to crochet while walking? It doesn't go well. I have been cleaning my "house" today and I still barely have any steps. I hope I don't totally bomb this thing, I would love to win, but I am loosing hope.

I also got tagged by the fabulous Jill to tell you all 7 random things, but I have some pictures I need to take this weekend, so I think I will save that joy for the next post. I am sure you are waiting on pins and needles. :)

Oh I almost forgot. This is Toby.


He is huge. He came out and played with The boy and I while Pirate Grandpa had his photo shoot.
