Today I would have loved to stay home and sew, that is what I really like to do, it is my relaxation. Last weekend I made Kaitlyn a dress and a fleece swing coat, I am happy with them.
I have a quilt in the works for Jessica that has flip flop blocks in it, I am also working on a quilted picnic blanket for Todd and Angie's wedding. I have so many projects, and my time to work on them just seems to ebb and flow. Oh, well you know what they say, "Time flies when you're having fun." So true, so true. I guess we can't have it all, if if were able to sell my projects, I probably would start to dislike sewing(heaven forbid).
Kaitlyn is having a Princess birthday party, she has invited a few Princes too. Should be fun, we found a Kiss the Frog game, it is like pin the tail on the donkey except you pin the kiss on the frog.
Jess went to town (Anchorage) to do some school shopping with her Grandma, Aunt and Cousin Autumn. There are days when I look at her and see what a beautiful young woman she is becoming. Those are the days when she is not around other people and thinking she has to be cool.

It has been six months now since I started this blog. Funny how time escapes when you are busy with life. I registered the girls for school last Monday, it starts August 17th. Kaitlyn will be in first grade and Jess starts high school, unbeleivable! I am still debating on whether or not I can make the time for a couple of classes this semester, I really want to, I also really want to continue making my bags and be the leader of Kait's Daisy girl scout troop and co-leader of Jess' Cadet girl scout troop. How do people have time to do it all?
I find that we are so much more calm and loving as a family if we are not spread so thin. I love spending weekends with the girls in our PJ's doing craft projects. We have done that in a very long time I am afraid. As I write this I am rethinking my school decision, I really want to enjoy the time I have with the girls.
This summer has been a bit of a challenge at times. Kaitlyn has been at her Dad's for a week at a time every other week, this has been a huge adjustment for both of us, I cannot wait until school starts so we can get back on a routine. Jess' has been gone most of the summer, babysitting, camping, hanging out with friends and family. We have been on a couple of camping trips together; we have had such great weather.
I am rambling on but typing is so much easier than writing my thoughts down.
