So much fun!

As I sit here and type this I'm exhausted, in a good way!  We have had a very busy week but I feel more relaxed and happy than I have been in a very long time.

Mark has virtually stopped snoring and we are getting really good sleep.  I finished 2 Bubble Skirts this week and have sent the fabric off to get shirts made to match for Madison and her best friend Bailee.  I took another sewing class last night and now can sew shorts for the Jacob.  The biggest news is Madison got her ears pierced! She was a trooper. We have gone back and forth since she was born about when was the right time.  She has actually been asking for them for the last month off and on so we took her to get the "earwings" she has been asking for.

3/26/11 Madison took the plunge in to the world of earwings

Chocolate Festival

Most of our Facebook friends know how much we love Reed Creek Park. We try to spend a least a little bit of time each weekend there. We love the boardwalk paths and the turtles and frogs we encounter. Well tonight they had their 2nd annual Chocolate Festival and we really enjoyed it. Here are some pictures of the fun.


The 1st Station and our fave!

Jacob enjoying the dessert!

Jacob was definitely enjoying it!

She just had a Chocolate Covered Strawberry

I was trying to take a picture of the lighted paths but instead you can see the POLLEN!
A frog!

The video was the sound of the frogs!

Sewing

So I'm finally less afraid of my Christmas present...I took a Bubble Skirt class at the end of February and I have just completed my 2nd skirt for Madison. I'm really proud. It's a reversible Easter Egg Skirt so it's Eggs on one side and pink on the other for after Easter.

I would like to thank Jordan from Jeff's Sewing for being a great teacher and having great instructions to refer back to.

Here is my model Madison...can you believe the look on her face?  This is the pink side.


And the Egg Side....
