A few new items

I have had a few new items for my shop for awhile I have just been slow to post them. 

Today I am finally getting around to it.

I had been waiting to get pics of the clothes on a little girl because I always think clothing is more appealing on a person than off, but been to busy to get good pictures.

Also finishing up a maternity dress, so hopefully that will be up soon :)

My Shop

Sunday Family day

Today was a good day.

Today Jones woke me up with a kiss and told me he was taking off for church. by the time I came to it was about 5 til church began. I shot up and got the kids dressed in about 10 minutes and we were only 20 mins late to church.

At this very moment Every dish (but one) is clean,

most the trash is taken out, there are only 2 loads of laundry {not 5!!}

Right now we are carving pumpkins and I am thinkin of baking something yummy after all we did buy cinnamon and peanut butter chips the other day.

My kids costumes aren't finished so that will probably consume my night, but after the funk I have been in I am happy with were I am.

:) 

excited for tomorrow.
Check out my sister and her cute family

Here is a cute video of biscuit wearing her statue of liberty costume made by me.

The results

My awesome husband spent his only day off carving pumpkins for his kids, He's pretty much the best dad ever.
C actually did a really good job carving, I will have to take pics and post them. For a four year old I was pretty impressed. Once he got past the gross stuff he was able to get into it. Tober ( the opposite as usual) just liked digging out the insides, then she was done. :)

Sway with me Collection/Working on my shop

I have been working on getting my shop all set up and taking pictures of my Sway with me collection. 

It has been really fun seeing my hard work come together. I can actually say I am proud of what I have done and am only the tiniest bit awkward about showing my stuff to the public. 

Anyways check it out. :)

Sway with me

I have been inspired by my new niece to be to make a baby girl clothing collection.

Her Mommy is one stylish lady and her brothers always wear black, white and grey to church, so Naturally she will need a variety of dresses and skirts to match. :) 

I am still working on a few pieces. So hopefully soon I can show you what I have made.

Tah Face {C} starts Pre school

C, or Tah Face, which is what Tober calls him started pre-school today.

It was so fun. He had asked me to make him a speed racer back pack so this morning he and I finished putting it together, packed him a lunch and headed out. He was so excited. 

 Whether or not to put him in preschool had been a big debate for me. Somehow I felt like a failure if I sent him away. I had questions and doubts, but in the end I knew I was doing it for the right reasons and knew he would love it while it lasts.

 Of course we all miss him when he is gone. I was surprised how much I noticed something missing. C really brings a positive spirit to our home. He loves us all and tells us constantly. He makes us all an important part of his world. 

I feel so blessed that he came to our family and that He was my first kid. 

I have learned so much about mothering from him.

It is fun to see him grow up, and be so happy and full of life.

Love ya Tah face. 

Fabric Cars and parenting.

Yesterday I spent a good part of the day making these fabric letters with my kids for their room. They love them and loved helping me make them. After Breakfast this morning I was laying down with Alfy when C walked up to me with a pencil and told me "don't worry I put the numbers on the race cars." 

oh no. 

all day he had told me they needed numbers and I had told him we would make them another day. I should have known he would take matters into his own hands.

The picture doesn't show it very well but all the cars are covered in scribbled headlights, windows, lines on the wheels.

So now my question was what do I do about it.

I was bummed that our cool cars {my cool cars} looked sloppy and dirty, and he definitely got in trouble for drawing on something without permission, but should I attempt to erase them as part of his punishment, or should I just accept it and the fact that they are in his room.

Plus I am kind of worried that erasing them will ruin them.

Am I being too much of a perfectionist in wanting them to not have pencil scratching on them!?

Tober's Party

We celebrated Tober's birthday yesterday.

 It was fun, colorful, with tons of cousins and running around.

 Yummy food {tiny table}

 Uncle Scooter made Tober a Rapunzel cake, He went all out, and I was so impressed.

 So was J.V. in fact he couldn't stop looking.

 Once the kids took to the bikes and cars there was no stopping them.

 They all rode around like crazy people.

 It was very casual and simple

 We did balloons and bubbles and bikes for a while

 Tober always gets the dandelion in her mouth when she blows them. 

 There were some crashes and a few run over body parts.

 Then it was on to the pinata.

 and then presents and cake.

 Tober tried blowing out the candles on her own, and then she got some help.

 Pretty much nothing else mattered once she got her Rapunzel doll. She just calls her Princess.

As then sun went down we said our goodbyes and put kids to bed, stuffed, sugared out and happy. :)
