Well my baby girl is starting Pre-k tomorrow.
I can't believe it! I'll get some pictures tomorrow, but my mom finished her nap mat today. Thought I would share, it turned out really cute.

It took me a minute to figure out that the picture with your toes and the one below it were two different pictures! It looked like your foot was covered up with the floor!
That is a beautiful nap mat!
The visit with Jenna's dad went fine. After he rescued us from my stupidity we talked for awhile. Two police officers stopped to see if I was getting robbed.
I told him a little about her and she was continually jumping around in the car and opening all of the doors and running around. Typical Jenna stuff. He really seems sorry for not being around for so long and wants to be here for her now. That is the reason that he moved back here. He looks exactly the same as before and to be honest we were able to talk like there weren't any missing years. I will hold him to his word and will do everything that I can to make sure that she gets to see him as often as possible. I hope he means it because I can't handle him breaking her heart. And tomorrow is Jenna Bug's birthday and he wants to take her to dinner at Chuck E Cheese's. Her favorite place.
I'm glad it went so well Crystal! I hope he continues to see her.
Teresa, Jham, T-beri and Heather- I go away for 1 day and you girls just go at each other like there's no tomorrow!! How many times do I need to tell you to play nice?? You will only have each other in the hard times. Is this anyway for sisters to treat each other??? Now.....say you're sorry and give each other a hug.
OK, ok!
I'm sorry.
Great shirts!! The BUZZ (yes, I knew it was BUZZ!) fabric looks great!
I love the contrast cuddling with the monkey to breaking that board!
WHAT????????????? Wait a minute WHAT DID YOU SAY????? 
Miss Stephanie, do you mean to tell me that I have known you (and your adorable kiddos) for an entire year and you are just getting around to telling me you evented?????
Glad I wasn't the only one that was surprised to hear that!
?????
If I wanted a shirt to gather at the waist and come out at the hips with more material.( I have no clue how to shirr)could I add a casing made from bias tape?
Yep, you could do that!
Mrs. Miller, where RU? I haven't seen her here and I have so much to ask about the costume. Then I see that she has great ideas for boy clothes.
She was in the hospital a week ago, I hope she didn't have to go back. She was thinking of having an operation.
Crystal, have you heard anything from her?
Just an aside: Please don't cry in front of your Pre-k or kindergarteners. Don't tell them you will miss them or let them overhear you telling others.
I can't tell you how many children have been unhappy in class and when asked why---didn't say, "I miss my mommy" but "my mommy misses me," "my mommy cried because she misses me," or "my mommy is so sad. She doesn't know what she is going to do at home without me."
Be positive and cheerful in front of your kids. Cry when you get home! They do listen (even when you think they aren't!)
Thanks for the advice, but like was said, it depends on the child. My kids all knew (know) I was sad about them going to school, they still know it. It's really not something I'm going to try and hide from them. I also tell them how happy I am for them and how excited I am that they are going to be having so much fun. They know I cry, they can deal with that. I don't stand in their classroom boo hooing, but I can't say I haven't shed a tear as I drop them off in the classroom! I think that's much healthier for the kids than the parents that say they can't wait for their kids to start school so they can get rid of them.
OK, totally OT here, but we took Caleb to get his hair cut last night - getting ready for kindy and all - and the guard totally flew off while she was doing the back of his head and now he has a nice little bald spot on the back of his head. So she had to cut it REALLY short to try to blend in the bald spot. I know accidents happen and she did feel badly about it, but I'm just sad. I know in the grand scheme of things, it's so not a big deal, but I didn't want him to start kindy with a bald patch!
OH NO!
Hi- I am terribly behind and it is not for a "good" reason- I sprained my knee on tuesday then came down with a cold yesterday!
ugh!! So I have my two little nurse maids helping me wrap up my knee. Which is kinda cute. Then every time I blow my nose sophia has to "blow her nose". And to top it off my "friend" is visiting! So besides the hobbling around, sneezing, sore throat, crampyness, a headache, blowing my nose every five seconds everything is just peachy!
I am trying to rest as much as I can and stay off my knee so it heals quickly, the state fair is next week and I really don't want to be pushed around in a wheel chair although my dh thinks he would enjoy that.
Ah yes and our nemo dvd has been missing for a couple days and dd has been on a kick lately and has been watching nemo nearly every day so this is a minor tragedy! I hope it turns up soon or I'm be fishing ebay for another one!
Sorry to be such a downer today!
Hope all the kiddos have a great Birthday!!
back to my chair with the ice bag for me...
ETA: CRISIS AVERTED NEMO HAS BEEN FOUND!!! THANK GOODNESS!!
Anna!
At least you found Nemo!
I finished Kaitlyns skirt last night.
with 3 kiddos.
And you know I am dressage crazy right???? Hmpffffff 
Oh and on a sad note we are canceling our Disney trip in Dec. 
I do think it is for the best though I really want to focus on fostering right now and I would be worried we were missing "the one" the whole time we were gone so it would not be worth it.
I've been making transfers and it's alot of fun. I make glitter shoes too. I haven't tackled sewing yet but I think a sewing machine's going on my x-mas list this year. I mean I don't even have a needle and thread! I pray no one loses a button!
and may I suggest that you at least get one of those little emergency sewing kits...just in case a button falls off!!
I do think I could use another cup of coffee!
I know I need to learn to shirr!
