Christmas CHAOS!

By -
This year, I was trying to plan ahead so I could enjoy the season. Well, I have still been busy, busy, busy. I guess that's evidenced by the fact that I haven't had time to blog - for a month!! Well, I think I'm pretty well caught up. I have been keeping occupied with lots of Christmas plans. For awhile, I was working on a special gift for my mom & mother-in-law. I made a super-cute blankie for my new niece (Sharlene then SheriAnn, finally Sharlene Eowin). I have also been working on some sewing projects for my hubby & the kids. I got Fleece on sale & I am making robes & PJ Pants for everyone. Surprisingly, I'm NOT sick of sewing yet. Other than that, I did my visiting teaching early, helped make gifts for the Young Women and have tried (fairly unsuccessfully) to keep my housework under control. Oh well. I need to get a few things done so I can go work on Adam's stuff. I only have 2 more days before he's out of school for the break. Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's off to work I go!

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.
