Ta-Da!

The Umbrella is finished and up! And now that I look at the picture posted in all it's glory I realize it doesn't look like such a big deal. But when all THREE sewing machines I was using were on the fritz, it was a huge ordeal, and I'm just glad it's done and actually fits.



Cute Andi pics of the week, lovin the dress up heels. What's really funny about these is that she is very coordinated in them. She can run in heels better than I can, and these things are plastic with NO tread(very slippery). Oh, and that face really was a smile originally, but it morphed into that waiting for the flash to go.


More project fun. . . we should be finishing the swing set this weekend. Putting the section with the monkey bars and swing on at least, we'll see if I get it painted. Other than that, I don't know that I'm going to surviv these next 11 or 12 weeks with sanity intact. With Andi it was the last two weeks where I felt like I would be pregnant forever and she would spend eternity doing gymnastics off my insides. But being awakened at 4 am this morning feeling like Sammy was practicing for the trampoline finals is taking it's toll. 12 weeks seems impossibly far away.

Good job on the umbrella! I am truly impressed with all your homemaking skills. I never knew you had it in you until after you got married. When did you learn so much and why did you hide it from us? Good job!

That is amazing. Here I make little old bows and you can sew umbrellas! You are so talented. Great job, oh and Peyton and Andi would have so much fun dressing up together.
