I'm a Super Slacker

...when it comes to blogging these past few weeks. My family was here and we stayed incredibly busy. Here's my attempt to catch up because I have other stuff I wanna write about.

Whilst "the family" was abiding in my abode, we celebrated the celebration of Father Christmas. -----Uh, my attempt at funniness came out really weird but I don't have time to change it. Basically, we did a Christmas in July so my parents and grandma could get gifts for the boys and see them open and play with the toys.




Isaac was a little excited about the presents.

As was Eric about his ball.

"Christmas" afternoon we went to Jumpin' Jacks and the kids had a blast.


Isaac catching some air!




Levi even got in on the fun.


And then I got this:

WOO HOO!! I've never known how to sew before, but Mom started teaching me right away. She had a really simple skirt pattern that I'm already half-way finished with. And it WILL get finished because I'm telling you about it, so I now feel compelled to complete it and impress you with my skillz.

How fun to have Christmas in July! (With REAL presents even! :) ) I'm already jealous of/ and impressed by your SKILLZ! I can only sew a straight line. . . or not so straight, as it were.

I found a simple skirt pattern to and made the skirt for my sister in laws wedding in March!! And now it's my favorite one to wear. I want to make more with cute material as I find it. Good luck on your projects.

How fun to do a Christmas in July! More reasons to eat and have presents!

I got a sewing machine for christmas one year-- but I still don't know how to thread it. My 13 year old does. But I don't. How sad is that?
