Jenny went home

I have survived another Koren student living with us. Jenny was our third child. We had two boys, Andrew and Kevin (they pick an American name) stay with us Fall of 2008. I would have to say that having a girl to hang out with my older girls was VERY nice!! Other then taking her shopping to get presents for her family (hello - she is 10 and trying to buy things for her family and not herself???!!!) I LOVED having her here! We will miss her!! Hubby even asked me at lunch if I missed her:)!

After getting Jenny to the airport this morning and the girls to school, I came home and made Hattie a tutu. And later on in the day I made her a star wand. The boys and her are going to a Pirates and Princess Party at SIL's library on Thursday!! I am so excited!! I have wanted to make one of these tutu's since I found out I was having a baby girl - but really - I didn't need one - TILL now!! And it turned out WAY cute!! I will get a picture of Hattie in it and post it soon!! I still need to make a sword for each of the boys and then we will be ready!!

I also got the kitchen swept and mopped today:) And the dishes done!! The kitchen is a VERY hard thing to get all mopped for me! It is so big!!!!!! I do half at a time:)

Check out my craft blog - www.midwesterngoneidahoan.blogger.com and see the cute sewing machine covers I made!! I am taking orders!! I have one made for Sally (her b-day present!!) one for my mom and one for Donna. Yes, you all know what you are getting for your b-days this year!! But you have to tell me what fabric you are thinking - or I get to choose:)

Baby girl is done with her bottle and the swing is out of batteries!!!!

PS - I just found out at lunch time that one of my nephews on Dean's side was in a car accident on Saturday! I am SO happy that he is safe and everyone else was too!! He was on his way to the Klondike (scouting) where Dean and Danny were. The car that my nephew was riding in flipped!! They were all wearing their seat belts!! I said a little prayer of thanks! Give you children an extra hug today and tell them that you love them always!!
