Fun with the girls

Since yesterday was a holiday, a friend of mine and I took our girls (we each have two around the same age) to OMSI. We had such a good time letting the kiddos play and explore while we chatted. I rarely stay at those places long because I get bored very quickly but we were there for nearly 4 hours! Good fun.

A good movie

While the girls were having a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa W.'s house tonight, Bryan and I had our 'date'. We went to see Gran Torino and I highly recommend you go see it. Clint Eastwood was amazing as always and the story's message was a good one.....It's never too late to make a change in your life.

A good book

I'm currently reading "Three Weeks With My Brother" by Nicholas Sparks. I'm only 6 chapters in but I'm really enjoying it. It's a true story about the author and his older brother taking a 3 week trip around the world. What are you reading right now?

Kassidy's New Dress

Kassidy and I have been busy sewing this week. Here's a pic of Kassidy wearing her new dress!

Sewing with the girls

Samantha decided that she wanted to learn how to sew. Since the girls had an extra week off from school (due to the snow), we found a easy-sew kit for pillowcases. The kit even included pre-cut fabrics!

The girls enjoyed ironing, pinning, and sewing the fabric. They said their favorite part was pressing on the little sewing machine pedal. We had so much fun that we went back to the fabric store and they each picked out fabric for dresses!
