Alyssa and me last Friday.
We went and had lunch at Gunther Toody's, a 50's type diner restaurant. We shared a Shamrock Milkshake and burger and fries. I think I gained a couple of pounds at least by eating there, but it was fun.
After that we went to JC Penneys, which was nearby, and looked at all their clothes. Alyssa is quite the fashionista always wanting to see what else is out there in the way of clothes. We also looked at prom dresses, just for fun. (She is WAY too young for that, but girls love to look at the pretty dresses anyway! So we did.)
Some of the cereal I bought last week at the sale! I ended up getting 50 boxes total. I guess this is what happens when you pray for opportunities to increase your food storage!
Also, on Monday, we celebrated Laren's 37th birthday! That was a lot of fun!!
And probably the biggest reason for my absence in blogging is that my Mom came to visit starting on last Saturday and we have been visiting and sewing and hanging out and so I've been preoccupied.
Grandma Linda teaching Rilyn (5) how to embroidery. Notice the sweatshirt Rilyn is wearing. Grandma got that for her and let her pick out what Disney scene she wanted on there and then embroideried it for her using her embroidery machine. She did this for all the kids. It is so fun that she did that for them!My Mom has been teaching my 3 girls how to embroidery since she's been here and surprisingly they are loving it! I would've thought Rilyn was too young, but nope she's getting the hang of it!!
Also, I bought some cute Springy Fabric to make some pillowcases for each of my kids and some fabric and a pattern to make an apron for me. I've seen so many cute aprons, I wanted to try my hand at one myself!
I just love all the great fabrics that are out there and I haven't been able to get my hands on them as much as I'd have liked to in the recent couple of years. I'll have to post some pictures of that later.

how fun to do the date night and to have your mom over!
i also bought some fabric (a while ago...) to make a cute apron, i just haven't gotten around to it yet! there sure are a lot of cute ones out there right now! good luck!
I was wondering just this morning where you'd up and run off to! I wish my mom or MIL would teach my kids to embroidery or crochet or anything like that. I just don't have the patience (I've tried... and failed to teach them).
Looks like a fun date you had with your dd, too.
That was a lot of fun things to report on! As far as Rilyn embroidering...in the 1800 girls that age could do some amazing things and by 7...phenominal! Happy Bday Laren!
LOL, I love the wrapping job in the birthday picture...is that a shovel?
The mom-daughter date sounds fun. I love getting to spend some time with my kids one-on-one. It so rarely happens without making an effort, except of course with M, who is home with me all day.
Welcome back to blogging! How fun to have your Mom there! It sounds like you are working on some fun projects! I would love to see your apron when your done. I have been wanting to make an apron for myself, and would love ideas. :) Have a wonderful weekend! :)
Good to see your back! Sounds like you've been having! Your such a good mum, taking your kid's on dates! I can't wait to be a mum and so those fun things!
Happy Birthday to Laren!
Love Cas xo
