Working on a Basic Grey Calendar

I finally got around to finishing my in-laws Basic Grey calendar this weekend. Took me quite some time and it's a couple weeks late. Can you believe I have another one that I am gonna make for my mom too? What was I thinking?




Positive note of the day: Look at this insane bit of baby gear. Honestly, they will sell anything to parents these days...here's a link to the description but don't buy it or I will mock you...

OMG, thanks for the pee my pants laugh this afternoon!!! I need one of those for my 3 & 5 y.o.!!!! No, really, I was laughing as when I drove cross country with my then 6 month old, I was along (hubby & I drove separate and I would stop to nurse along the way). At the rest stop I would take him in his carrier and have to pee with him in it...and to think I could have just hung him up along with my purse.

BTW- your calendar is coming along beautifully!

Good Grief that is just so silly.

Your calendar on the other hand looks awesome.

Laugh if you want to, but anyone who has had to hold onto one or MORE kids while trying to keep them off the nasty floor of a public restroom all while answering to Nature's Call yourself will attest to the brilliance behind the idea. It looks hilarious, but it seems pretty functional to me. Thanks for sharing your ingenious find.

Great pages, loving the BG.
Internet is spotty, will catch up with you when I can.

LOL - I know exactly what you were thinking because I did the same thing :>) I finished my Mom's 15 minutes after she arrived at my house on New Year's Day. I finished my MIL's the morning we were leaving to go to their house. Of course I ended up going super simple with mine. Yours look great!
BTW, I have a little something for you on my blog today :>)
