My Conference Weekend (Shut UP I know it's Wednesday....night.)

So...(yay puns...that you will get in a minute) I have been sewing, and sewing like crazy. To be honest I didn't get a whole lot of conference in mostly because my children were being extremely emotional and so I turned on Fantasia instead so that I could get some sanity back. It's not like I could hear anything over their screaming anyways.

On Saturday afternoon I spent around 18 dollars and some crafty supplies. Then I sewed pretty much all day sunday and more on monday to complete....THESE!:



Aren't they so cute? All 3 of them LOVE them, as I knew they would. They have recently gotten a fascination with all things Super Hero. Liam gets sick of the cape pretty quick but Eric lasts a little longer (but must always be BATMAN, who he seems to think is an enemy to Superman and will chase Nick saying, "I'm gonna get you Superman!") but Nick is really the one who has gotten very attached to the whole cape thing. He has to be Superman, and he has been wearing it all day long every day since Monday. He runs around the house yelling, "I'm FLYING! I'm Hooperman!" (So he still struggles with the letter "S"...whatever)

The other sewing I was doing was for some kids Eagle project (hemming 3 blankets) usually after lots of sewing I get a little burnt out on it, however I'm  kind of itching to keep sewing now. I'm thinking of sewing together all my quilt squares I've got on the top shelf in my pantry.

I would also like to announce that I'm basically over my 2 month long cold(s)! WOOHOO! It's amazing how many more things I get done when I'm not a mucus covered coughing zombie.

In other news the weather has finally started to get her act together. (I'll forgive the STUPID STUPID snow that snowed on Sunday) It has started to be warm and my kids have started to play in the yard again! Halle-freakin-lujah! About a week ago I set the kids up with a picnic outside and then some popsicles and they were pretty stoked about it. Until it was time to come inside and then everyone cried their face off (as usual...soooo much drama all. the. time.)
 These pics below are actually from Saturday (when it was 75 degrees outside...you know... the day before it snowed like crazy.) I like the top one cuz it kind of looks like some preschool boy band album cover. "Lets all stare in different directions and ponder our lives and how our music reflects that."
 Then this one just shows how full of it they are. :)
Anyways, that's that for now!

Cute capes! my boys love all things super hero also. And Jack has been going through a cape phase...since Halloween. He was batman and has basically worn his cape every day since. He wears it everywhere but church, and then he's upset that I won't let him wear it. As soon as we get home he puts it on. Crazy boys.
