Maggie cracks me up!

This is so funny. I was cooking dinner when I looked up and Magggie had a blanket draped over her head and she had walked across the room and bumped into the bookshelf! It was so funny!!! I was dying, and I didn't get the best parts of it on film. But this is the best I could do, while stirring dinner so it didn't burn...

Done!


I read somewhere that doing crafts is good for your brain, so good, my brain must be very healthy becuase I am ddicted to crafts. This project I started midst another project, upon another.... But I finished, and i can't wait for the girls to wear them! Their easter dresses! Yay, It only took three days to do both of these, the pattern was easy, and they are small so they go fast. I had to undo olivia's dress a few times, because I didn't have a pattern for her size, I just sort of eyeballed it. At first I was angry and threw it across to room, Kenny said I could use it for teddy bear clothes. I considered that, but I got out the good ol seem rippper and improvised. It isn't perfect, but isn't that why we all love home made stuff? I also thought of an analogy while I was doing this. Here it is. Sometimes we want so badly to do something that we don't take the time to plan ahead and prepare, we just jump in. Like me, i didn't want to go buy a new pattern that would fit olivia, i just wanted to do it now. Well, jumping in without the proper pattern meant I had to spend time undoing and fixing the problems that I created. It is always best to follow the correct steps, and plan ahead. However boring or tedious it might be, Because sometimes prolonged desires lead to better outcomes.

Maggie is so funny. She is growing up so fast. She loves to spend time with daddy outside while he is working on his truck, and i think it is really helping her learn how things work. Not only that, today, i was nursing olivia and watching tv while she was playing with her toys and milling around. Then i noticed something, a couple of my shoes were on the tv stand, she was bringing shoes in and putting them on the tv stand! It was hilarious, she was real busy about it too, she ws in the zone if you will. Then, a litttle later she started just spinning in circles. I have never seen her do that before, maybe it is from daddy holding her in his arms and making her dizzy all the time, to my chagrin. I just love my maggie! She was really cute too, when she put the bib on that we got from Grandma Kris, she just put it on her chest and ran laps around the house. So cute....
