Hey there! I've changed the blog template - so don't leave! You're still in the right place. I found some adorable free blog templates at www.quirky-bird.com. There's a linkeroo to them down there on the right side of this page. Somebody please use the cutest gnome page I've ever seen! For some reason I didn't see it until after I'd already loaded this birdy one, otherwise you'd be staring at super cute garden critters as we speak (well, technically as you read I suppose). And for all y'all out there who want to be on my linky list there, no worries - I'm still updating it from the old page.
Always exciting around the Ruff house. Owen and Ray are outside watching the roofers roof the garage. Lyla is sleeping - still getting over yesterday's drama of six month shots. Really, it was all of thirty seconds for her. Now Owen is panicked about his four year old appt because he too will get the stick. Lyla's helmet had to come off al of yesterday because of a nasty skin irritation. It has to heal completely before we can put the thing back on her cutie head. On the plus side, she slept almost through the night last night without it on. So mom and dad got some much needed sleep.
Now I am off to the gym for some much needed exercise! Enjoy the weekend.

I hope you don't mind me looking at your blog, but I found it looking for information about Plagiocephaly corrective bands. My son just got one and I tried to paint it, but the paint comes off. Could you tell me what kind of paint you used on your daughters band......it is darling!! Thanks and good luck!!

Thanks Stacey! To paint the helmet, I used acrylic paint from Wal Mart - I think it's Folk Art or something similar. I put four coats for the base, then the accents (dots). I dried it in between layer with a hair dryer, then finalized it with two thick coats of mod podge matte finish. It had to dry for about three hours, so she had it off for about four to five hours total. I think the hair dryer part helps personally. Good luck! In your next post, include your email and I can email you directly (then I'll delete the post with your email).
