Skirts for Ellie

I have been in a sewing mood for about a month. My mom thinks I am nesting. I think that I am just craving something like this because I am done working. I have been on all these really great sewing blogs and have gotten some really great ideas. On oliverands.com if you click on their blog they have a tutorial for a lazy day skirt. I love this skirt it is so easy and fast. Plus they look great. I made 3 for Ellie in one night while at my mom's. I think Ellie looks so great. Thanks mom for the fabric scraps!

Ethan helping Grandma

We went to my mom's over the first part of this week Ellie andEthan had a blast. When my mom watered her garden we were doing good to keep Ethan at the edge of it. He wanted to be her big helper. He did this my pulling a few of her watermelon plants. He saw he pulling weeds and thought he should do the same.

Feeling the baby move

Last night Ellie was able to feel the baby kick for the first time. She was so excited by this. She ran in and told her dad and Ethan. Ethan came and Ellie showed him were to put his hands but he would not hold still long enough to feel the baby move. She sure is an active little thing. I feel her moving all the time.

Ellie's Future Job

For the past few weeks I have been meaning to put a post of here about Ellie's Future Job. I have decided that she is going to be an event planner. This girl is constantly planning parties. She sits at the kitchen table making invitations. I think she started planning her next birthday party the day of or the day after her birthday in January. Her friends keep asking their parents when they get to go to Ellie's Halloween/Easter party. This is her most recent party she has been planning. You have to love her style. She just combines the two holidays when she gets the most candy into one party. Now that I am done working she if anxious to invite all her friends over to a tea party that I have been putting off until school got out. So as of this moment I see party planner in her future.
