Lookout, virgin blogger.....

Wow, my first blog entry. Should be interesting. (I am using letters for the kids names to protect the innocent.)

Jo-Jo took the kids to the park so I am home by myself. It is so quiet without the kids running around or fighting. "A" is very protective of his little sister, but only because he feels he is the only one that can beat on her. He's a good kid- just busy. He is alot of fun. My mother said (I will change the wording a little bit to be more PC), "At least you don't have a little "quiet one" just sitting in the corner." Thanks mom. She is right, that would drive me crazy. (See, he is fun!)

Little sister, "E", is also fun. She is also busy. Although she is much younger, she is getting better about putting "A" in his place. He hits her, she hits him back. So we tell him "See, you are teaching her to hit." He thinks about it, then smacks her again later. And the cycle continues. I have taken up sewing. It is something that I can do at night when the kids are in bed and it keeps me out of trouble. ;) I have been making clothes for "E". I started with pants and a simple skirt, then I saw Kaiya Eve on Martha Stewart showing everyone how to make her pettiskirts. So I tried it and am loving it! I started out using tulle, then I switched to nylon chiffon. I am almost done with her 3rd skirt. They are precious!!! She wore her lavender one to Target the other day and (as always) got so many compliments and "oohs and ahhs". I have to finish this one tonight, it is black and white. I will put a picture on when I am finished.

Off to do dishes. I have to get something done while they are gone. :)
