It is so hard for me to believe that my baby is 8! Seems like just yesterday I had the pregnancy rash all over me. Those months of itching were totally worth it, but I'm glad I won't ever have to go through that again. :)

Mom I had to steal your picture! This little girl is such a joy and we LOVE having her in our family. She got up this morning and said to Colin, (who was still in bed not even fully awake) - "Colin, don't you have something to say?... September 24th... birthday... Saige..." Colin says "Nope, doesn't ring a bell" She says "It's MY birthday!!! Aren't you going to say happy birthday?" She is always saying funny things and she is the most lovable kid I know. We love you Saige! Happy Birthday!

Procrastination

Sometimes, being prepared doesn't always go how you hope. For Saige's birthday I bought 3 boxes of Ding Dongs last week for her to take to school for her class tomorrow. Daniel asked last night if he could have something out of the pantry and goes in to find...

one ant had told all his friends to come for a party. We had ants in all 3 boxes of Ding Dongs. Luckily, they hadn't found anything else yet. So, needless to say those boxes all went into the trash and I am going to go today and buy new treats for her class for tomorrow. If I had procrastinated, like I usually do, I could have saved myself lots of frustration and 3 wasted boxes of cupcakes. :)

Can I just say how grateful I am for my children! They give me trials everyday and may not always do things that I approve of...but at least they don't have tatoo's of ants around their eye! What was this guys thinking? And where is his mother???

It's a Pillow...no it's a Pet! :)

Saige's birthday is coming next week, and I still can't believe she will be 8! All she has said that she wanted for her birthday was one of the Pillow Pets off of TV. Well, I decided to try and make one. Considering I have only sewn blankets and curtains, I was pretty happy with it.

It's a PET, and now... it's a PILLOW.

I used a real pillow inside.

I have been working on something for Saige's birthday. Can you guess what it is? I was hoping I would get it done today, but my seam ripper got quite a bit of use so maybe tomorrow.
