ITS A GIRL

Funny Night at The Movies

So my hubby and I ditched the kids with their Mamaw and Papa on Saturday night and went out to see a movie. I am not really a huge fan of chick flicks. Give me blood and guts any day. So off we went to see Inglorious Bastards. If you want blood and guts, nobody does that better then Quentin Tarantino. Great movie. I, like always was the only one to find most of the move laugh out loud funny. I know shame on me for finding the many ways they found to kill the Nazis funny, but it was freaking hilarious.

So we get to the movie a bit early and get some snacks and went in and sat down. It was a slow night and not many people were there. I still have a bit of a cold. But the funny thing was when the guy a few seats down from us sneezed. This woman about half way down the theater hopped up out of her seat, said something like *I can't believe this* and stormed back to the back row where the sneezing guy, his girl person and my hubby and I were sitting. She looks at sneezing guy and asked him if he had the flu. He answered with a slightly confused *no I do not, do you?* Nasty lady said no and sneezing guy answers with a *well I glad we got that cleared up.* Then you have me laughing like a hyena. WoW! really if you are that worried about something like getting a flu bug, why would you voluntarily put yourself into a room full of other people? So nasty lady turns with a jerk and halls rear a little further up towards the front of the theater. So nasty lady like to go to movies where peoples heads explode with the help of a guy wielding a baseball bat but if simply terrified of the flu. Go figure.

Now I need to get my rear in gear and get some of my swaps done and get to the Post Office to mail the growing stack of swaps ready to go out. I am only a few months behind.

What A Week

This week has been so much fun. Sick me and now sick kids. Poor Wyatt was still thinking he was going to school. He was really not a happy boy when I told him that they didn't let sick kids go to school. This will make for a fun day. He is extra grumpy now. I just want to go back to bed.

But I was able to get most of Lucas' quilt top finished. Now I am waiting for my fabric to come so I can finish the borders. It is a little bright for my taste. But Lucas loves it and that is what it as all about.

Then with my cute bright space fabric scraps was made a baby quilt. I really love how it turned out. The dark gray really toned down the bright colors in the space fabric. Then I had at a lot of fun quilting it in stars. Too fun!

Now it is back to taking care of sick grumpy kids. Thank goodness for the long weekend.

I'm Back (I hope)

I have been out of it for a bit. Feeling to bad to sew. Well really feeling to bad to do anything but lay around. This is the reason why...

Baby or aka- The Blob

This scan was done at 9 weeks. I am almost at 14 weeks. We will find out if the Blob is a girl or a boy in October. Then this little one will arrive in February. I am a self proclaimed baby junky. I love love love newborns. And really it has been so long, by the time this little one comes along Lucas will be almost 5. I needed a new one before he started school next year. As it is Wyatt starts Kinder on Tuesday. Sniffle. He is so super excited about it. I hope my shy guy does well.

Our summer wasn't as fun as I would have liked. Being sick, we were not able to do as many things as we had planed. We did go to Disneyland at the end of July for Maddie's birthday. We spent 5 days down in Disneyland. We had a great time. I love Disneyland. The weather was great and the crowd's were low for summer. It is a great place for a birthday. I'll add some pics later.

July? So soon?

I wish I had a list of grand and wonderful things that I have been up to, but nope. I have been loving the sleeping in thing. Summer is so good for that. I love Santa Cruz summer weather especially when I compair it to the temps in San Antonio. It is good to be home. But as far as getting things done I have been one lazy girl. I need to make myself catch up an a few things. Things that should have been sent out last month.

I have to get one more pink tree's block done for Miss Pink Tree herself for our ten make two quilting group.

I also need to make some basket blocks for the little red hen for our 8two8 group.

After that I get to start on my July stuff. I hope by the end of the week.

I am also working on my strung out deer quilt. One for me, can you believe it? It would be quilt number two that I made for myself.

The kids have spent their days out in the back yard or running around with me doing all the things that need doing. But at the end of this month we will be celebrating Madelyn's 8th birthday in Disneyland. Can a birthday get any better then that?

My Weekend

So my weekend plans had been a trip to Costco and working on my deer quilt. What my weekend turned into was a trip to a small town in Nevada to pick up my little brother and his friend after crashing his car and rendering it completely useless as a car. But I guess it could have made a nice planter box if he could have gotten it home.

We found out about his crash Friday evening and by 8 pm Hubby, Lucas and I were in the car heading their way. My Mom and Dad watched the other 2 kids. Friday night we made it as far as Hubby's family's house in Sacramento, then Saturday morning we drove out to Battle Mountain Nevada were they spent the night. We loaded the battered and bruised car crash victims into our car and drove to Reno for the night. Hubby took off to play the slots for a bit and Lucas and I played games at Circus Circus's midway. After hubby won a whopping $15 we went up to our room to get some sleep. Then Sunday morning after a big cup of coffee we were off for the drive home.

So all in all they are fine but little bro doesn't have a working car and we got to have a unexpected road trip.
