Sewing Class

Three weeks ago, Kiddo #4 started a sewing class and wow, she has taken to it like a natural!  She has made 2 wonderful projects already- a pouch with a liner and a pillow.  She has been very excited learning how to operate the machine and mastering all of the different stitches.  I can't wait to see what she makes next!  The best part is that she is loving it and looks forward to it every week. It also doesn't hurt that she is learning a practical skill, one that I'm sure will help her throughout life.  She has always been such a creative kid-- always making something or wanting to do some kind of art project. :-)  We are very proud of her!

Dreaming of a "White Day-After Christmas" :-)

The day after Christmas brought the first of several snowstorms that have already hit our area. I doubt that we will top our 6+ feet of snow from last year, but the kiddos are thrilled nonetheless with the opportunities to play and of course, sled.


We are lucky that there is a local community center only several blocks away that has a fenced-in field with sloped sides. This is where we take the kids to sled. It is always fun!
