A little of this and a bit of that

Eve has a terrible habit of taking off her diaper. Which is why I bought her some cloth Fuzzi Bunz this week. The kids can not get those off. So I would find her many mornings sleeping in her birthday suit. She also hates to be shooey (our word for dirty diaper.) So at 2:00 in the morning she starts to cry (she never wakes up at night) so I knew something was up. Well she had shooeyd her diaper and then took it off and was trying to let me know she needed a new one. So I fix her up lay her back down and try and go back to sleep. Then this morning the little stinker (literally) does it again, except this time its very messy. YUK! I explained to her how it wasn't very lady like to have poop on your face. Then I gave her a bath and moved on with the day.

I am finishing up two dresses for Eve today. A picture of one is below, the other is still in the washing machine. I bought two really cute snap onesies on the clearance rack yesterday for 2.00. Then bought a yard of matching material to add skirts to them.


I love to sew but because of this little problem I have with every thing needing to be a-symmetrical and perfect...you know like the clothes you find at the store, I really don't like anything that I sew. I just started though a few months ago, so I figure practice will make me much better.

The boys are upstairs making movies. Yep real movies. They have an older camcorder that was given to us. So one of them is in charge of props and another costumes. They have blankets draped across their room. Devon said he figured out how to pause the tape and move an object over then begin taping again. I love watching kids learn all on their own. I'm sure they will be busy up there for a few more hours. I'm so glad I have a husband and a Lord that provides for me in such a way that I can stay home with my kiddos and allow them to learn in what ever area delights them. That has to be more fun for them than sitting in a classroom for half of the day.

I am really tired today. I didn't get much sleep last night. It was about 11:30 when I finally got to sleep then I kept dreaming that I was running from a tornado all night long. LOL I slept through my alarm clock for about 35 min. But I did get up and got moving.

Well I'm getting commentary on the movie. It's about two astronauts who are in outer space and are attacked by a marshin (sp). To funny.

Am I getting this correct? You buy solid or pattern onesies and add a skirt to it? What a clever idea! I cannot sew clothes -- I want and need to try and learn. I am starting a quilt for our girl -- poor thing needs a girley heart quilt. I love to sew quilts but clothes come out more like potato sacks.

how funny, when I am pregnant I always dream of tornadoes. Is that internal subconscious turmoil?

Yes ,thats what I did. Another thing I like to do is buy overalls and cut the pants off of them and then add a skirt. They always turn out so cute,

Oh that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! Duet 5:29
