Princesses, Fat and Flat Fish, Egg Hunts, and Tee Ball

I cannot even begin to tell you how busy this weekend has been. Oh, my goodness...let's see. First of all, before I left school on Friday, I had FIVE orders on Etsy and three local orders. Lauren and David were headed to the beach to have pictures made...the bad weather was moving in...I was getting nervous--so little time and so much to do. We cancelled going to Dylan's game because we didn't know about the weather (which has turned into 20+ tornadoes in Alabama, 7 deaths, and a family member's house being hit by a tornado.

So Friday night I sewed for a bit. Look at this cute romper!! Just adorable...
I got several things done and made ready for big company Saturday. Saturday morning we picked Dylan, Daniel, and Kaylee up at 9. The boys were decked out with fishing poles and tackle boxes. Kaylee was decked out in polka dotted "ha hops" (flip flops) and kept asking where Grace was.

We got home, and Robbie and the boys started getting fishing stuff together. good thing Kandace sent the boys in their play shoes, because the puddles from the night before were just too much temptation. Their shoes are STILL drying out :)  About 11:00, Vicki and Grace came in and we left for a bit of shopping and lots of skating princesses (Disney on Ice was in town!!).

The four "big kid" stayed with us Saturday night. While breakfast was cooking Sunday morning, in the midst of Dylan telling me he had caught two fat fish and two flat fish (don't ask me...), and Kaylee running the Swivel Sweeper, and Grace teaching Daniel a cheer, and Daniel riding the car in the house...Robbie told me that the boys' shoes were too wet to wear. So...flying trip to the dollar store for new shoes and Easter grass--the church was having an egg hunt after lunch.

After lunch and the egg hunt, Lauren volunteered for drop-off duty since she also needed baby food...and, of course, that would allow me to sew. And sew. And sew. I came in about 10:15, and was warned by Robbie to pick my way carefully through the "minefield" of our room (Note to self---get the room cleaned up before Friday). I was thinking just now that all this writing is pretty much unnecessary...pictures are worth a thousand words. So here goes...

  Kids' shoes everywhere...
 Sippy cups everwhere...
 No...there was no bomb in the bottom of the toybox...
I call it a book reader; Kaylee calls it her iphone :)

And Tuesday I went to watch this little cutie play tee ball!
