Running Start!

The little ones and I had the day together Friday. It was a little change from normal, and my big boy went to work with Daddy. This is something he loves!! And Ada, Grady, and I had a day full of Pinteresting and fun! It's hard to squeeze in crafting during school days, with everything else happening. And Grady is entering the early age of play, so there actually are the occasional 15 minutes when he plays with Legos or something and I can actually accomplish a thing or two! ;)
We made our little trip to Hobby Lobby and got started, first thing, following my early morning work out. It was fun! I love making stuff...it makes me happy. And this time it was particularly fun because Ada is kind of starting to enjoy it and she does a lot of ooo-ing and ahhh-ing which makes me smile! ;)  We ended up making a front door wreath and a menu board, (diy instructions found here!) which I love because the menu cards I made have the meal on the front and the ingredients and recipe on the back! Makes it a little easier for me! ;)

Grayson helped his daddy under a house and pulled some wire for the first time. He thoroughly enjoyed this and already wants to know how many days a week he can go to work with daddy this summer! ;)

This is how our "Pinteresting" projects turned out! :) 

Saturday was full of T-ball pictures, game, and family fun! It was the only Saturday game so he had some family there to watch him! This was fun for him and us! When he first started playing sports, all of our family was close by, so he always had a little cheer leading section, now they are scattered, and the occasional visitor sure is special! :) And I had to snap a picture of brother and sisters shirts. They could be some of my favorites that I have made so far! :)

I also hit the machines Saturday evening to begin working on some little outfits for a dear friend who is expecting her third little girl in just a matter of weeks! :) And with three girls, matching outfits are a must! ;)

Sunday, after the church rush, the kids sang with their children's group from church, at a local rehabilitation facility. They did so well and asked lots of questions. Grayson has decided he needs go back and take them outside. He really thinks the sunshine would make them feel better! :) sweet boy! After everyone...even Mommy...napped today, we spent some time swimming outside. After baths, we cranked up the radio and got to work cleaning! ;) If you have to do it, might as well have fun. And we did! Grayson has really gotten to be a big helper when it comes to cleaning and I love it. Ada is very particular in her cleaning so it can take her a very long time...but she helps the best that a 4 year old can! :) And then there's Grady...he has a special way of "rearranging" the things we put away, but he is so cute doing it, so that's okay! ;)

So we start this week with a clean house, clean laundry, clean dishes, and clean kids! Wow! This could be a great thing, kinda feels like we are off to running start!! So here's to an early bedtime, early morning workout and great week! :)
