Last time she was over, she informed me that she did not like tomatoes. Ha! Any one who's seen my facebook page recently know that I have them growing in my garden by the thousands it seems. I am always scrounging trying to find something for us to eat for lunch when she's around because I never seem to be stocked with food when she is present. Except for, in her opinion, the dreaded tomatoes... Don't get me wrong. She never complains about what I feed her even though, I am sure, sometimes she might want to. Anyways, she told me the only way she has ever liked tomatoes is when someone made a tomato pie for them one time. Hmmmm... tomato pie! I had never heard of that. So naturally, as I have an abundance of the main ingredient, I had to try it and I had to wait until Annika was here. That day was today. While she played with and read and entertained my children, I cleaned up the kitchen, did loads of laundry, picked up a little and then started on the pie. It was delish! How fun.
After I dropped Annika off at home, I put the babies down for their nap and hurried to the den for a project that I've been dying to do for a while. I'm tired of carrying a big heavy diaper bag filled with two kids junk in it around everywhere. Haynes is big enough for his own bag if he needs it. I found some cheap backpacks at the Fred's Dollar Store. 5 bucks a piece! Even if they last 6 months, it will be worth the fun of the project.
I quickly rummaged through the fabric I had on hand, which is a lot, thanks to my friend, Maja, and found the perfect coordinating fabrics for the back pack.
Cut out the letters and now they have their own personalized backpacks and I only spent 10 dollars! I am happy with the results!
Love it! They look awesome!
