Today was an awesome day, I think. We planted roses, a bunch of flowers, spread weed and feed, etc. Since I can't exactly bend very well for the gardening the kids did a lot of the planting. They seemed to enjoy it (especially spraying off the dirt at the end) plus they really got their energy out. We got to be together and get things done. We had ice cream for dinner (it doesn't hurt every once in a while!) and then the kids hit the hay early.
And then- then I got things done. Now I know this is going to sound odd but despite all the other things we got done today I am most excited about the two things I accomplished after the kids went to bed! Haha! And one of them would seem like nothing to most people.
First of all, I prepared all the fabric for making the crib skirt this week. That required washing it, drying it (to preshrink it) and then- ironing it. All 6 to 7 yards of it. I HATE IRONING! I have no problems doing laundry, dusting, scrubbing or any of the other things that people often admit to hating but I hate ironing! Don't know why, just do. But I got it all done tonight.
And getting that done meant that I could finish another task... making the crib mobile. I seriously think this is the cutest craft I have ever made! I adore it and, honestly, I never say that about things I made. Other people will oooh and ahhh over them but I always seem a crooked place or a wrinkle or a missed stitch or something like that... but this is just too cute! I love it to pieces! It is simple and adorable at the same time, and totally perfect for the room!
Anyway, just wanted to share a great day... no lottery winnings or trips to Disney World, but a great day just the same!
