Catching him reading everywhere these days! Love that! He's my first son that has caught the reading bug and I am so excited. Bailey reads everyday as do George and I but getting Max and Quinn to read for pleasure has not happened. I can only hope it will still catch on.
He has spent everyday this week so far in this uniform. If ever a kid could entertain himself this one can and does! I would love to be inside his head of make believe! Love him!
Trying to layout my first real quilt. I have been collecting french themed fabric for awhile to make Bailey a quilt. She finally decided on the hexagon pattern and as I start to lay out the fabrics I feel the need for one more pattern and yet I cant figure out which color or texture it should be. Hmmmmm......
Came across this cute apron this week, that my grandma let me use when I was a kid, when I had to clean up and make room for our new hot water tank. Not so happy about the unexpected expense or mess it created when it cracked but love that I found this apron again! Red for Valentine's Day and perfect for Easter! Such great memories!
I can't believe football is behind us and the holiday season is upon us. Whew! It was a blast and long winded! Three teams in the playoffs made the season stretch into early November and made sure we put that cold weather gear into heavy use.
One came out on top making his last year with the league a memorable one for sure. Everyone else unfortunately didn't fair as well but in the end they have so much to be proud of. What a commitment each of my 4 kids made from summer thru late fall. 4-5 days a week of practice plus games, I am so proud! They learned team work and put it to practice on the field and off. As siblings they will always fight but these times help them learn how to support each other. My favorite picture from the season, captured by one of the team Mom's, is my youngest two horsing around on the sideline during their big brother's game.
My daughter loves to keep up with them and its great to see them all out in the backyard playing football together.
We are into the next sport season already with wrestling and competitive cheer, but life seems to have finally settled into a manageable speed. Hope to be back soon with all the recent projects I have been working on between dropping off and picking up kids and watching games! Hope you all are enjoying getting ready for the season!
My little one is so excited for his first Homecoming game. What fun! The parade floats and candy, pep rally, and halftime show and ofcourse the personalized announcement of each player as they rush the field! LETS GO STEELERS!
Well not really, but isn't this fabric cute? I am so excited to make something with it! Hope to be back soon with the after pictures!
Waiting for the parade to start! Everyone else is too crabby to pose for a picture. Oh well this is a 15 year tradition watching the Plymouth 4th of July parade! The rest will perk up when the marching bands come thru and the monster truck at the end! Hope you are having a great 4th and making great memories!
I can't believe someone used this beautiful spread as a dropcloth but I am saving it from a tragic end and using it for sweet baby accessories!
