Forts and Go Fish

hayden and luke are really into making forts right now

they'll make them anywhere and with just about anything

you can't tell from the picture

but they are also playing "go fish" while hiding in their forts

one game takes about an hour because they have to crawl out

every time they choose a card

too funny!

Hayden's Quilt Part 1

last year i went on a craft retreat with my sister

and decided to make hayden a crazy quilt

i don't know what i was thinking because

it was he hardest sewing project i have ever done

each square has 24 pieces!

the craft retreat is coming up again and i didn't

want to bring this thing with me

so with all this rain we have been getting

i decided it was time to buckle down and finish it

those are the completed squares( thanks mel for helping)

the picture isn't great because the fabric is a lot brighter.

more posts to come!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

.....and we are inside playing and sewing.

i am loving the weather

as much as i consider myself an outdoor gal

i love it when i am forced to be inside and get caught up on my sewing

the kids are creating things with Perler Beads

and listening to Adventures in Odyssey

as much as i miss them as babies

it is pretty fun watching them play
and create together

City to Sea 09

I'm digging up some past memories from 2009. My friend, Shelby(she is in the pink hat behind me) and I ran City to Sea this past October. She was a great encouragement to me and actually ran the last mile with after have already crossed the finish line before me! It was a great feeling. Scott made it with the kids to watch and I love that they got to see me finish. I can't beleive I was smiling because I was dying!!!
