New opportunities...

Well today was a very exciting day...2 new things happened!

1. We spent time with our 3 year old nephew that we have never met before (long story)
2. I was given the opportunity to sell some sewing things in a little boutique owned by his mom!

So so so super exciting. I'll be able to make a little bit of money on the side. I'm thinking burpies, changing pads/diaper, wipes holders, bibs, onesies, tees, nursing covers and crayon rolls to start! Very ambitious, I know, but I'm too excited! Just a couple of each at first to see what happens.

I guess I get to start shopping for fabric again! YAY!

Fabric.

I got more fabric...yay! More things to make. A lot more. Thanks L for taking me shopping...I need to learn to be thrifty...be a smart shopper. I think I've gotten better in 1 day. :) And if you were wondering...I got polka dots. Lots and LOTS of polka dots.

Whats new?

Well since it has been a few days since I have posted (I have such writers block) I decided that I would TRY to post some info on whats new with Sofia. So here we go...she is CUTE, super cute and still has brown hair. Maybe it will stay? She has big blue eyes and delicious little lips (and of course that button nose). Oh-and dimples on both cheeks! She is teething...not in a bad way but in a fingers/hand in the mouth (constantly), BIG bubble blowing, drool on the t-shirt kind of way. She sucks her thumb-which Aidan never did. She is strong...so strong and must have some serious ab muscles because she is always trying to sit up when she is laying back. She loves to stand...her legs are so strong. (Aidan's were too.) She's wiggly, kicky and super talkative. She loves to look at her big brother and she laughs. Big. Big smiles and coos. Little girls are super!

And since we're here...we should talk about Aidan too. He's pretty cute also, with his blond hair sticking up and big blue eyes. He also has dimples and delicious lips...they have so many similar features, but such a different look. And then not. He is crazy...good crazy...running around in circles crazy. Running and never walking. He loves music...loves to make music...loves to dance...his imagination is SO big now...he loves to play outside (we need a yard!)...
He's a bad listener...he's 2 1/2...he's getting better (maybe). He's sweet...loves to give kisses, say "I love you" and make the I love you sign...hugs...he whines...asks nicely, says please, thank you, welcome. He's big...he has big boy feet and big boy hands...Big laughs. Little boys are super!

New Fabric

Yes, this afternoon I drove out of the garage like a maniac on a mission to purchase some Amy Butler fabric on sale. I have no idea what I will be creating with it, but hopefully a couple of dresses for Sofia...who knows what else? Here is a pic of the 4 I chose.

A little birdie told me...

Just a little coffee snuggle (cozy) I made for Jason. Hoping to make some out of something besides felt...maybe a little patchwork?

Aidan says things like:

Miss you Mama
Love you Mommy
Good Night Mommy
Mommy ARE you????
Good morning Mama
Oh Man!
Oh goodness
Noise, Mama?
Oh baby- miss you baby (stuffed toys)
Ta-da!!
Excuse me Mama (escuze me mama)
Whoops

These are just some of my favorites...there is so much more. This vocabulary thing is amazing...
The cuteness?...even more amazing

Fuming...

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving my husband and I the same views on raising children. I wish it could be as easy to ignore other peoples rude comments about it.

Why do people think its ok to impose their ideas on me? I have my own thank you.

Love,
Me
