It sounded like a good idea

I thought it would be fun to make green eggs and ham for dinner tonight. Isaac was all in, he ran for the green food coloring. I pureed some spinach and added it to some eggs, scrambled them up and added grated swiss cheese. It actually didn't sound that bad to me, but when I put it on the table, Nick was the first one to complain. He took one whiff of it and told me it reminded him of the inside of a deer stomach, very appetizing! Savannah took a bite or two, she was so excited because green is her favorite color. I took one bite, but I couldn't shake off the deer comparison. We all ate our ham, Isaac even colored his green for good measure. Nick didn't waste much time before making himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We all had berry smoothies, which were delicious and not green. This is just one of those many times where it sounds like a good idea at the time, but turns out to be a disaster.

Blankets for the girls

The girls and I went to lunch with some friends last week, on our way back to the car, we walked past a quilt shop. My insticts were to keep on walking, but there placed strategically in the window was horse fabric. Savannah eyed it and stopped in her tracks, she just loves horses and really liked the material. We walked into the cute little store and she picked up the bolt of fabric and proceeded to carry it throughout the shop. I don't really know how to sew, it's not my thing, so I really wondered what I could possibly create with the fabric. I tried to tell Savannah that we'd bring Aunt Angie in to the shop and get the fabric then, of course she didn't like that idea and had to have the fabric now. We decided upon a blanket, and a mere $24.00 later we walked out of the shop, with Savannah proudly holding her bag of fabric. All I could think was, couldn't we have just bought a blanket already made for that price? We got in the car and drove home, Sophia crying and sobbing the whole way about her not having any fabric to make a blanket. We went to another fabric store and I let her choose her own fabric, great, now I am really in over my head! I called Angie for a little sewing advice, and by that night we had 2 finished blankets. It was actually kind of fun to sew, and the girls love their nice, soft blankets. I feel a small sense of accomplishment, I finished a project!

Berry Trifle

I said to Isaac, "How does this look?"
Isaac said to me "Disgusting!"
I said to Isaac, "Good, more for me!"
