It starts with a sewing class…

For her birthday the oldest pumpkin wanted to take a sewing machine class. So we signed her up for JoAnn’s 101 kids class where she would get to make her very own pillowcase. Due to her thespian commitments she had to wait nearly two whole months for this class.

To say she was so excited was an understatement.

Thanks to Mama making sure she had extra fabric she was able to make two pillowcases, one of which she gifted to her Daddy. I made the mistake of pointing out that the colors she chose would mean new sheets were needed for her bed and that red and black didn’t go so well with pale purple walls. To which I got a very sheepish smile and request to paint her room. Set myself up for that one! ;)

So her first sewing class went fabulous and I think she may be hooked. Its nice to know that the kids are not total copies of their Daddy in hobbies! :D

Off to see the Wizard…

Tonight I am catching up on a few things and was reminded that I have been remiss in my proud Mama duties. My oldest Katy was in her school’s recent production of the Wizard of Oz. As a lowly 4th grader she and her friends were the bright eyed munchkins, jitterbugs and flying monkeys. It was a ton of fun and the kids did a great job!
