projects

Today we ran errands.

I wanted to stop at the fabric store for a couple things and there was a shoe store in the same strip mall. We went in and I let ZIbby pick out some thong flip flop shoes. She’s been asking for some for a while. I personally shudder at the thought of a strap between my toes, but she seems to be ok with them. Of course, she picked out pink ones. They are cute, very glittery and glamourous.

Then we went to fabric store. I needed some elastic for waist bands, and of course I ended up getting some fabric for some new projects. Things to make as gifts, plus some really beautiful jersey type fabric that I hope to make into a shirt.

I bought a sheet from the thrift store and I am in the process of making a skirt and matching shorts to wear underneath. Maybe I will bring bloomers back into fashion! LOL. Its just, I love to wear skirts, but they are impractical with small kids-I gotta bend down, sit down, nurse, etc, and I dont want to be constantly worried about flashing people. Matching shorts underneath seem like a perfect solution. Zibby wears them all the time, I think they are called scooters, where the shorts are sewn in. Anyway, the shorts I made from a pattern that I made by copying some shorts I own that I like. I think I will go try to finish up the shorts tonight-not sure I can get the skirt finished, too. Maybe.

Henry got his 5th tooth and it looks like 6 and 7 are almost thru the gumline, too. I gave him some baby motrin so he could sleep tonight. Poor guy. Today was a really great EC day. I put him on the little baby bjorn potty and I got 3 pees and 1 poop! I cant believe it. My catch rate has been really bad lately. Maybe Ive turned a corner.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention that Zibby was doing addition in the car today on her fingers.
“if I have two and two, how much is that?” (she answers herself) “four”, etc etc It was so cute!

well, tomorrow is a super busy day for us, so I gots to go.
peace out

(my tie dye supplies came today! hoo wee! cant wait!!!)
