Sick-Os

We are passing it around. First Grace, then Obie and now me. I guess we should be thankful since this is the first time any of has been sick this winter. It isn't any fun. I forget what its like to be sick. Before kids it was kind of fun. Simpathy, sleep, tea and lots of TV. But now there is no rest. . .except for them. I'm doing ok. Ice cream seems to help.

Grace- The Photographer

Ahhhhh. . .

So I was laying on the floor in the livingroom. Obie walked into the room. I, not thinking I would get a response, said "Hey Obie, come give your mama a kiss." AND HE DID. He walked right over and kissed me. . .what a sweetie!

Saturday Night Dinner

Thanks to Chef Grace.

Finally!

WE WENT OUTSIDE!
It was finally warm enough to get out of the house. We spent all day outside. . .except for the hour it took to find a parking spot. Other then that we had a blast. I guess everyone decided to go to the zoo since it was a whopping 65F degrees. We walked around, rode the carousel (which neither Grace or Obie enjoyed for some odd reason), saw a bunch of animals and stomped in every puddle we saw. It was great!

Hair Cut-by Mom

So Obie's hair was getting a little. . .well out of control. I kept saying I was going to try to cut it but kept forgetting plus I wasn't sure how he was going to react. Today while he munched on snacks I went at it and conquered his crazy hair.

Skirt Complete. . .Almost!

Its almost done. We picked out fabric, which is a task when Grace wants to put her say into it. We compromised, cut, pinned and sewed. The only thing left to do is put the elastic in the waist. Personally I think it looked pretty good. I've never really sewn before but I was able to figure it out thanks to YouTube. I couldn't figure out how to thread the machine but YouTube was nice enough to help out.
