a lazy start to february

I want to apologize for the new blog template if it makes you dizzy! I've enjoyed switching the colors around in the past and found on amy's website where you can download templates. I thought this one was cute, but now I think it is yelling at you when you first click on here. I will give it a few more days to grow on me! I didn't realize that if I changed the template, all of my links would be erased. I just spent about an hour putting them back on!



We had a pretty good week around here. My sweet husband let me do something 3 nights this week. I had Merrill with me two of the times, but that much easier than taking 2 out at night and with the whole nursing thing.... Also, Jim decided to get his contractor's license. He passed the test this week!!! Yeah, Jim! (he'll die if he sees this!) But, we are very proud!



Of course though, we end the week with Emery getting sick. I learned something new..... that a fever of 104 is pretty much child's play! I called our pediatrician and he said that a fever of 108 was considered dangerous! Did you know that? I am still shocked. That seems so high!



Another highlight from this week was Emery's haircut- she really likes going to see Martha Lynn. Her hair was growing fast, but still not that thick up front. (I think I just described a mullet!) So we trimmed it up some.



What used to be blogging time has turned into sewing time. I'm trying to make some pants for the girls and it is taking me forever. I was going to make them all by myself and surprise my mom. But, easier said than done. I think they will turn out cute, but I keep getting frustrated. Practice makes perfect right!









Emery is always wanting to hold merrill's hand. Most of the time, merrill is not a willing participant, but this time she actually just laid there. pre-trim

after trim- but still with a pony tail

emery really likes her haircut. I'll try to get a picture of it when it has not been slept on! it does look much better! Thanks ML.

What my kitchen table looks like with all the sewing stuff!

I feel like my blog has been really boring lately! It seems that all my posts are about kids and that we do nothing else besides staying at home and being sick! Maybe soon I'll have more exciting things to post about!

Oh yeah... Emery and I were sitting at wendy's yesterday. A little girl walks in with a dora coat on, pink cowboy boots, and holding a mickey mouse stuffed animal. She was probably 4 or 5. I could tell Emery noticed her. After a minute Emery looked at me grinning and said, "Isn't she cute!!"
