Learning to sew

....seems like a great talent to work on, at least that is what I think most days when I see Z.'s newest creations. Typically its a small pillow, doll shirt or a quilt piece. Lucky T. got the Bright Orange Hat this time!

It really does fit him very well, its just that Cub Scout Pack meeting isn't really a place to blend in when you are in the Bright Orange Hat. Why can't we all(meaning mom) walk around feeling so well pleased with ourselves and the Hat maker, no matter where we happen to go?



Because this same kid started talking 6 months ago and hasn't stopped, most of the shots we have of him are with his cute little mouth explaining something to the camera.

Here he is explaining his itchy hives and how he might be 'lergic to sand,shoes,sleeping,milk,seatbelts, you name it. It turns out it was strawberries. Glad we got it figured out, the hives in his mouth and throat were making mom a little nauseous. No one should gag on their lunch and then try again and again to get it down, at least not around mom.




And finally some pictures of the 2 youngest outside. Spring has been so looked forward to! (D&C 59:18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart)

This is one of like 3 days it hasn't been freezing and windy since the official start of the season. The poor tramp must feel neglected. A good dose of jumping seems to cure a lot of ugly symptoms around here(pediatrician disagrees) like whining, arguing, common boredom and others. Mom even takes a turn now and then, dad too, but dads version of jumping always follows with some kind of twisty flippy thingies that mom disagrees with( and same stated pediatrician). He is 35(!)years old , you know.
Sweet doggie face wants in on the action. She loves to get on the tramp , and can easily, but then gets all nervous and cant figure out what to do next. It's like she thinks she is one of the kids and doesn't want to miss out on the action.
