Sew... how's your weekend?

My excellent hubby found a great deal on this sewing machine and so I'm going to get it. No more will I be in tangles of thread trying to make my mom's old machine work! For the record, my mom could rarely get her machine to work for her either. (piece a junk...piece of frusterating junk...). And everyone is sick of hearing me say "as soon as I get that blasted machine to play nice I'm gonna make this or fix that..." In reality I am an AWESOME at sewing I just need tools that work. I even made a last-minute white gown for a friend once in a rush. But no, I'm not going to be one of THOSE housewives. You know the type I mean, and the thought makes me shudder in endless fear. I'm not going to be any kind of housewife... I'm a workin' Sarah! Okay, I'll go off on my feminist-I-hate-what-people-expect-of-married-women rant later. For now just look at my beautiful machine. Hooray!

Happy After-Easter 2009!

Happy after-Easter 2009! While our Easter wasn't traditional we sure had a lot of fun. We watched a horribly bad alien movie with friends, played in a toy store, ate Mexican food, and went bowling. The real holiday is after Easter when everything is 50% off. Sadly, we didn't get to the stores until very late because of work and school so our Easter season did not include a single jelly bean, cadbury creme egg, or candy eggs. Good for health, bad for taste buds! The highlight was finding fun pre-filled Easter baskets for each of us. Sarah's is Crayola Art themed with paper, crayons, pencils, markers, and chalk. It also was a cute wooden crayola box insstead of a basket she can use in her scrapbook room. Oh yes, it also had a giant stuffed blue crayon! Vincent's baster was toy themed with a shooting darts toy, spinny tops, sticky goo, and candies.



We also have a video of our own Easter 'Bunny' click this you-tube link to see it:

All Dressed Up...

We rarely, if ever, remember to get a photo of us when we are dressed up and going out. Usually our concerns are more about remembering tickets, directions, and Sarah changing her mind 30+ times about jewelry and shoe choices. So for your entertainment and enjoyment- a rare photo Sarah caught on the I-Mac of us looking almost ready to go.
