best french toast ever.

This morning I made french toast with challah bread.

It was sooo yummy. I don't think I will ever bother making french toast with regular bread again. I saw this challah bread with cinnamon and raisins in the New Seasons bakery when I was getting groceries yesterday and decided it needed to be my breakfast. I cut the slices pretty thick, and made the batter with eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Yum.

This used to be a craft blog with a bit about my kids. Now its turned into a kid blog with the occasional crafty post.

Oh well. This is the only crafty thing I've done for a while, so I'll post it. It's a shrug... that I love, but I don't like the way it fits. It ends right at the armpits, and I was envisioning it having some boob coverage. I'm contemplating ripping some of it out and trying to add a little to the sides... but that might not work very well, so I think maybe I'll just try to learn to love it anyway. Or maybe rip the entire thing out (SAD.) and try again, and see if I can make it a little bigger. The pattern is for one size.

I LOVE the yarn though, and the fancy little pattern, it kind of looks like seashells or something. It's handpainted Dream in Color yarn in Black Parade. I made this shrug and you can see from the picture it looks like it should come around a bit more on the sides. Lies.

Anyway here it is. I couldn't get a good picture of it on, because Liam got tired of my photoshoot.

Liam is already a roller! Yes, he's fabulous.
He did it once at 3 weeks old, not on purpose but totally with his own baby-power.
And then last Wednesday, at exactly 7 weeks old he did it on PURPOSE! And he's done it again 3 times since then, once a few days ago and twice in a row tonight. He's magical!
He's also found his hands and can get his fists into his mouth now. Amazing baby.

Ignore my crazy-mommy narration...


He's gotten much more accurate since this video was taken.
