Spring is in the air!!

The sun is shining, the temps are still a bit chilly - but spring is coming - she's just taking her time! Dominick was here yesterday, and we went for a walk - he must have been totally bored - as he conked out on the first time around the block. Our house is starting to look like we have a baby here!! Porta crib, umbrella stroller, booster high chair, toys, toys, toys....it's really great! I am checking out a walker today, as it's a pain to have to carry that in when he comes. And I am sure that there will be more babies in the future!!
Have put the crocheting aside - since I have a inventory of about 45 crocheted blankets, 3 quilts and assorted fleece. Add to that all the hats I made for the winter,and the small soft toys. I will be entering these to a web site - sometime in the near future. I started working on a outfit for Dominick last night, have the shirt to make today. I must say I got some of my sewing skills from my mom - although a dressmaker I will never be! I still would love to have another shop someday, but now may not be the time, with the economy as it is....it's a risk in a normal environment, but this one - can't risk that!
With spring coming, I am also looking forward to getting to the garden - I have a bunch of items on the to do list - but that's another blog.
Enjoy the day!

Boyz, boyz, boyz

Can't live with them and ya can't live without them!!! Let's be honest - my daughters are great, nice, kind, smart, etc... (yes, my boys are all that too - more on them later) One is a JR - the other a Freshman...she just got through a relationship (well they were 'going out' what ever that means!!) they never went anywhere - just saw each other in school - yet - he 'broke up' with her the other day. go figure.....these boys are sooooo immature. I try and explain that to the girls all the time. They have no clue about being in a relationship (maybe that's a good thing). I explain to the girls that it is the boys loss, and not theirs. Kate had what seemed to be a really nice kid that she was 'going out' with, and from out of the blue - he broke up with her. Actually the day AFTER we spent the whole morning and afternoon together - some stupid story about his parents not wanting him to date a girl from town....had a chat with his mom, and she was clueless as to what was going on - seems that all the parents love her!! Again HIS loss not hers. My boys went through the same thing....girls kept telling them that they were TOO NICE!!!!! AGGHHH!! Well, that doesn't matter anymore - the they are all attached, and we are 3 for 3...3 awesome boys - 3 awesome girls....A trifecta!!!
Well, the girls will get over this - hopefully - soon, we will dry the tears, and try to believe mom....there is someone out there...there is lots of time to find him!!
Enjoy!!!
