hey friends:
here's a new blog to check out when you got some time. it will be good. i am so excited!

would you like some cheese with that whine?

last night we were coming home late. and, of course, anna was whining.
"daddy, my legs are so tired. will you carry me to my bed?"
"and daddy, i am so thirsty. will you get me a drink?"
"and daddy. . ."
whiny, whiny, whiny.
i told her to stop whining.
"but i am not whining" in her most whiny voice yet.
so i mimicked, "but i am not whing!"
"no, mom, i am not whining"
"i am not whining" i whiningly repeated.
then she says, in a loud, extra whiny voice:
"i am NOT whining!! this is my sleepy voice."

wow, i didn't even come up with that when i was young. if i had only known...

mikey, in his own handwriting

he has learned to write his name. being a good mom, i told him that an e has only three lines. he told me it looks better with more. so, being a good mom, i let him keep all his lines.

busy a bee

Hi there, I am currently really busy sewing an Easter dress for Anna. It is adorable. Canary yellow with darling white polka dots. I also mastered a single strap purse to match the dress, it has a white wide ribbon bow to match the bow on Anna's dress. She'll look like the little angel she is.

Next I'll be making Mikey baby blue shorts with matching suspenders. He'll look just like the handsome boys in my favorite movie THE SOUND OF MUSIC . Thanks goodness for little boys.

I am so sorry for not blogging for almost a whole month. I know who my faithful bloggers are and I know you check every day waiting to see if I've posted. Thank you for being so faithful. Nothing means more to me than your steadfast support. Please know of my gratitude for all of your kindness.

Gotta go, the sewing machine is calling me...
