Missing My Boys

By -
So, I miss the boys a lot. I should be in bed right now, especially knowing that the girls will wake ME up in the morning (instead of daddy). Today just seems to drag on & on. I did sew most of the afternoon & finished the PJ's tonight for the girls to wear them to bed. I've cleaned the family room & the kitchen and swept & mopped the tile. Those of you that know my "housekeeping" should get a kick out of this. Still, it feels good to sit in a clean room. There's still plenty that can get cleaned up another day. I mean, I still have 3 people helping me make messes.

It's not ALL bad though. All day, I've been listening to Breaking Dawn (book 4 in the Twilight Series). I know I'm like the last person, but I was reading Wicked & then Son of a Witch. These were pretty good, but very odd books. Surprised? Yeah, I know. I don't particularly think of reading as a leisure activity. I'm pretty impressed with myself. Overall, it was about 750 pages in only about 2 weeks. Oh well, I'm rambling. It's hard to drag myself away from the story to go to bed. End of a chapter...good place to stop.

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W...

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache...

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
