New Pet

The girls have been playing outside now for about 2 hours, the last hour or so they have been playing with their new pet worm. They named it very appropriately, first it was Mrs. Worm and now it is Wormy. This is a great pet, it keeps them entertained, but neither one of them will touch it with their bare hands, they pick it up with sticks. Mo tried to touch it but was afraid it would bite her (I'm not sure where the mouth is on those things, but who would take the chance) and Maddi said it was slimey so that ruined all chance of Mo touching it again.

Easter Sunday

What a great day we had on Easter, not only was our sermon awesome, the girl's outfits turned out great! Priorities, Right?!?

Skirts

Hey the skirts are almost done!! all we have to do is sew the elastic. It took Mom and I 4 hours on Monday night to make 2 skirts, we made one for Maddi, Mo & Faith (Mom made Mo's on Saturday so she would know how to help me). It wouldn't have taken so long except that sometimes I would sew a whole seam and then realize my thread had broken, or I would sew the fabric to itself :) Mom was a huge help, I couldn't have done it without her, she took out some of the seams and helped me fix where I went wrong. I think I could do it again, I don't think that I will :) It is not my favorite past time, too many steps, although Mom did tell me I picked the hardest thing to start on because of the gathering and layers. I'll let you know if I decide to be creative ever again, and you can all discourage it!!

Creativity

Hey, as you all know, the creativity gene in our family skipped me (along with the boobies, but we won't go there, maybe they are connected, hmmmm) Anyway, I decided that I am going to try and make skirts for the girls using a pattern and with my mom's help. We went to Joanne's today and picked out some material, I will keep you posted as to how they turn out. We ended up with bright pink daisies, yellow with white polka dots and a multicolored plaid. The skirts are going to be 3 tiers and spinny (that is a prerequisite courtesy of Maddi). Keep your fingers crossed that I don't mess up too bad and get discouraged, because I have high hopes for making dresses someday too.
