How I gave John a scare....

Tonight is soccer night, which means William comes home filthy. Typically, we throw both kids in the tub and scrub them up before depositing them into bed as quickly as possible. Tonight, I did the scrubbing and came out of the bathroom to assist with the teeth brushing, pajama-ing and to-bed-ing of the monkeys.

John took one look and said..."ummm... Is it time to go?" No, it was not time to go. William had completely soaked the lower front half of my body with the shower sprayer while I was washing him. It appeared as though I had wet my pants OR my water had broken.

No such luck- just a kiddo with a sprayer and bad aim (luck).

Sadly, the picture I took to document did not turn out at all, so you'll just have to use your imagination!

Grandparent's anniversary

Signature quilt!

This December my grandparents will celebrate 60 years of marriage. This is no small feat! This summer, we will be attending (I hope) a celebration in their honor. In place of a guest book, I have made them this signature quilt their guests will sign in permanent pens. Grandma provided me with color swatches to use and here is the finished product:

Crafty

The sewing room has seen a lot of action the last few weeks and months. I love new baby sewing projects! With both my sister and me expecting this has lead to a very extensive (self imposed) crafty load!

Venus is a .......trapezoid?

My brain is on vacation, leaving me with very little power for anything. Including my job, teaching students (scary?)

Something exciting was happening with Venus and the sun yesterday. I know it isn't called a trapezoid, but that's all I got for you today.

Here is John showing and explaining it to William. He later showed Amelia and me too... I'd wager the two preschoolers could explain it better to you than I could!

Baby boy gift

I feel like everyone I know is expecting, including several very special friends with their first babies! I like to keep track of what I make so things don't get doubled up and so I can remember down the road what I have accomplished!

These are for a close teaching friend expectinga baby boy in September!

Molasses cake

Is now John's responsibility. His brown sugar frosting is 100% better than mine and I'm not embarrassed to admit it!

It's June!

The kids were delighted to wake me at 7 am this morning to tell me IT!IS! JUNE!! We have been talking about NewBaby's arrival since Thanksgiving and how it will happen in June. Both kids were excited and talking hundreds of miles per hour this morning because today! Is! June!

I had to work hard to keep a straight face in order to explain that now our baby will be here very soon - but probably not today*.

*it could be today, but isn't looking like it. I'm still happy to sit back and wait to see when this baby decides to make it his or her birthday.
