It's a little wide and a bit too long ( I might hem it or just let it be a long dress that Tatum can wear for a VERY LONG time). I found some other simple dress styles that I am going to attempt and I might just stick with burp cloths and bibs they seem to be a little easier to make.
It was really quiet in the house and my first thought was, "uh-oh, what have they done now" but this is what I found: Ty and Tatum reading a book on the couch. It was so cute. We have two copies of the Merry Christmas Curious George and they both were reading them. I love the fact that they are 18 months apart. They play together and they carry on these great toddler conversations and they enjoy doing the same activities.
By the way, if any of you wondering why Ty is wearing his coat inside here is why. Well, we went for a walk around 4 this afternoon and when we got back inside he refused to take of his coat because he said it was helping him being cozy and warm (he tends to be a little stubborn like somebody I know...). So, I finally was able to pry it off him at 8:30 right before bed. He definitely was cozy and warm, he was sweating!
Ty reading the directions to grandma.
I really wished there was a picture of the mess they made when they made the cookies. Apparently there were rice krispies everywhere and a very sticky marshmallow mess. Pat probably would have had a coronary if he saw the mess.
Walaa!
And Tatum looked like this:
Ok, we meant to take him to the zoo all summer and fall but driving to Seattle and our kids missing their naps didn't sound like a lot of fun. Because if you know Ty and his misses his nap, well...it's just not that fun. Now that Ty only takes naps a few times a week and Taters does pretty good on little/no nap we headed down to the zoo. Ty LOVED the zoo. It's so nice to go a place where the kids don't have to stand in line and wait their turn. There was hardly anybody at the zoo so we had some prime animal viewing. We ended up buying a year membership and our goal is to try and go there once a month.
Most of the pictures I got of the kids were of them running away from us or of them looking at animals. So there is a lot of the back of their heads, sorry!
A very happy Ty!
Food=A Happy Tatum
Tatum making her scrunched up funny face, not the cutest but I still love it!
Harper showing off her sitting skills.
Tatum crawling like Harper. 
Tatum not letting Harper get her water. Even though these two are a year apart, hoefully they will be great friends too!
The boys playing so nicely together with Ty's garbage truck.
This is Xavier falling on Ty in April of 2007. I just had to post pictures of them together when they were little, they have been buds since they were born!
I finally got them to sit still so I can take a picture of them.

Ty cuddling with Kaeden. Ty LOVES playing with his older cousin. Anything Kaeden does, Ty wants to do too.
Tatum wrestling with her "apa."
Now it's Ty's turn for the wrestling.
My mom was carrying Tatum around like a sack of potatoes and Tatum couldn't get enough of it, she kept saying, "again."
Pat working on his golf swing.
After Tatum's bath the other day, she wanted to wear her boots and her coat, carry her blankie and her goofy baby. After awhile I put her jammies on, but she had to put her coat over her jammies. She is just so funny and particular about her clothes!
This is Ty and Pat under the fort they built. Ty loved it! Please excuse the picture of our bed, our comforter was puked on a bit by our lovely 3 year old who refused to puke in the toilet or a bowl. 
They pulled out bench away from the bed to build a fort. 
T & T have been sporting their Husky hats lately and running around saying, "we are huskies, wahoo!"
