Under the weather.... again!

Here is another new EB design coming soon! Mallory had these pink gingham bloomers, so sista got a new shirt this week too! All of my kids finally got a shirt from their momma! I need to just keep white t-shirts on hand for sampling so my kids will get to wear my work! I have 4 other new designs to sample (like today) - a lemonade stand (C-U-T-E) and a new alphabet and a couple others.
I swear I was JUST sick a few weeks ago - I threw up and had fever for several days. Well, Mallory came down with the fever Sunday afternoon and by Monday night I had it as well. I didn't think adults could get the infamous "fever virus", but evidently they can! I sewed all day Monday and at 9:00, all of a sudden, my back started hurting so I went to bed with the heating pad. I dozed off and at 11 woke up with 102.8 fever. I thought I was going to die! Yesterday was better and so far no fever today. It has been rough! And I have felt for poor Mallory - if I felt as bad as I did I can just imagine what fever does to her little body! :( She was fever-free yesterday so she's over it and hopefully I am too (and hopefully the boys won't turn up with it either!)

Yesterday was my 8 yr anniversary being married to Jeff! There wasn't much celebrating going on ~ I think I was laid up in the bed at 7:00 watching American Idol. No good dinner or anything - I ate watermelon which was the only thing that sounded good! We did eat at No. 16 Fri night and it was a lot of fun and the food was all very yummy! We ordered 5 tapas I think and 2 appetizers and it was all great! Happy Anniversary Jeff!

Friday is the last day of school for about a month. The little ones will go on Tues/Thurs this summer and Browder will be busy with VBS, art camp and the family trip to Seagrove (with my entire family). Browder thinks we have a beach house. We've been going to the same house - I think this is our 4th year - so he calls it "our beach". I'm counting down....

Happy Birthday Garrison!!

G turns 3 today!! Last week of school and then it's serious potty training time for this child!! He LOVES some cake and icing! We had a great Mother's Day/Birthday gathering with Jeff's family and extended family last night!
Sneak peek of a couple of new EB designs! A cute golf bag - luckily I had a white shirt for Browder so he gets a new t-shirt out of the deal! I bought him some turq. gingham cargo shorts at an overstock sale so I did this to match. He'll be 6 soon, so his wearing of this type stuff won't last forever. I think this is a great bigger-boy design!

And I LOVE this - and again, luckily I had a white t-shirt for Garrison so he gets a new t-shirt as well! This is a great summer design!

I also have a few more new designs to test. Maybe Mallory will get a new t-shirt too?

TGIF!!

This is totally random, but does every mom's car look like this after a morning of running errands and picking the kids up from school? This doesn't even look so bad...
This is everything from my car that comes inside at 1:20 when I am home from picking everyone up. Backpacks, lunchboxes, Target bags, etc. It takes me 30 minutes to get everything put up!

Someone sent me a link to this site: http://itsybitsybunny.com/ P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S!! Birthday hats and various bibs and burp cloths. I've made a few birthday hats but these are super duper cute! I wish I had time to make bibs too, but I haven't quite figured out how or when I could do them. Anyway, check out this site for inspiration!?

Today is Jeff's birthday and of course he is on the golf course. I guess the Flood of May 7th wasn't bad enough to shut the course down today. Tonight we are going to Number 16 at Hampstead with some friends. I haven't been yet so I'm anxious to check it out. Montgomery has very few "cool" places to go eat, and evidently this is one of them. Sunday is Mother's Day. My sweet husband asked me what I wanted, to which my response was a CLEAN HOUSE (also clean garage & shower & carpet). My monthly cleaning lady didn't make it yesterday, was going to come today but called and rescheduled for next Friday! :( I guess that means Mother's Day is delayed for a week?

I have a few new designs to test for EB today, so I'd better hop to it!
