Be Thankful

Patrick came home yesterday with a little book he made at preschool this week. On each page he wrote something he was thankful for and drew a little picture. Here's what Patrick is thankful for:
  • Mommy
  • Daddy
  • Our house
  • A sinking ship
  • A ship with a man on it
  • Meteors
  • Me (as in himself)
  • Molly
  • Me again
Oh. My. Goodness. It made me laugh so hard. Sinking ships and meteors? Where does he come up with this stuff? How do preschool teachers keep straight faces when they write in these books? This is definitely one that goes in the SAVE box.

In other news, I decided a few months ago that I wanted to learn how to sew again. I used to know my way around a sewing machine and patterns but somehow I forgot all of it. So a few weeks ago I bought a pattern, and some fabric and asked my mom for help in figuring it all out. She was happy to help me, and today, I made Miss Molly this little Christmas dress...

Whoo hoo for me!

Fantastic dress! I'm getting my machine back from the shop today and have a pile of cut fabric to tear through... Have fun with the machine! (BTW, there are a gazillion free patterns/tutorials online for girls' dresses and skirts. I go through them longingly... happy with my boys, but alas they aren't wearing skirts. Yet.)
