Our day today.

Today I made my first baby blanket with the sewing machine. It's really cute and has a princess theme to it. I also made a matching burp cloth and wipes. Although, it's not perfect I'm excited to at least be starting to learn to sew more. Hopfully I can figure out how to attach pictures. This past Sunday we were blessed to be invited to dinner with a wonderful family we met at the church we just started attending. They have 7 children, 2 of whom are girls about 12ish, 13ish. They are homeschooled and getting sewing lessons from another lady at church. They told me about some tools that I could use and how to make the blanket. I can't wait to show it to them at church this sunday.

Oogles and googles was so much fun this morning. The theme was shapes and colors and Ashton was chosen as a volunteer. He held up a picture with a green circle on it. He was so excited to be up front and was able to follow the directions given to him. Last time he was a volunteer he got to dress up with a pirate had and vest and had a great time! Reading is very important to our family so we love that the library on base has a weekly storytime for the boys to go to.

Lastly, I actually exercised today! This morning I put on my jeans and thought, "these seem tight". It freaked me out because i'm supposed to be loosing weight...not gaining it!! So I fed the boys breakfast, put them in the jogger and thea in the wrap and went walking. It was beautiful today. Such a nice breeze and not too hot. Although I was wishing I had pulled my hair up and worn shorts! The boys behaved so well. I am hoping to walk at least 3 mornings a week with 5 being the ideal.

Last night we watched "Night at the Museum" to make sure it was alright for the boys. What a fun movie! They're watching it right now. I am hoping to finish up the princess wipes tonight and go to bed by 10. Here's hopin'.


Figured out pictures!!! What do you think?? Not bad for a first project!
