Living Vicariously Through My Sister
Erica sent me an email with this story, and I laughed so hard. She said it would be ok to share it here. Those crazy kids!!…
Do any of you remember the Christmas light “war” we had with our neighbors two years ago (last year they went to Hawaii, so things were calm on the battle front)? As a brief summary, we went back and forth stealing lights off the other’s house and adding them to our own. Well, we are at it again (I know, I know, we are like 15 years old at heart!). We took this old nasty couch that was left here in our out building (where we park our lawn mower and that’s about it), wrapped it in Christmas lights and put it in front of their house. When they came home from their Thanksgiving in Arizona it was there to greet them.
Then this morning when I left to take the boys to story time this is what I found….
That’s right, that is the roof of our house!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love good neighbors!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s 10:30 on Friday night and Rob just got home. It has been one of those long weeks. Rob billed over 60 hours this week so far (tomorrow he will add a few more). Rob is missing the kids because he has worked so much this week that he hasn’t really seen them. I am missing Rob because I’ve been around the kids so much…
I thought I’d try to do some catching up. My mom came down before Thanksgiving and we had a Totally Ready Open House for her products. (By the way, the site was just redesigned, very chic.) She also brought with her a brand new dreamy sewing machine and we all had to try it out, including the kids. It has all kinds of bells and whistles, a self threading needle, thread cutting feature, a zillion decorative stitches, etc. etc. She is so into quilting now, and I have never seen her this excited about any machine in my life! She taught me how to do “paper piecing“, her newest favorite that simplifies the patterns, but makes things look so complicated and impressive. I’ll show you what I made another time… It’s so fun. We all were amazed and look forward to seeing the projects Nana comes up with next.
Nana shows the girls how to program a fancy stitch into the machine.
Hunter had fun trying it out too!
Hunter took this picture and I just thought it was a great one.
