I feel like doing a chatty sort of post today just to catch you up on all the little things that I've been doing lately. It has been quite a bit of time since I just chatted.
This morning, I went to Wyatt's 6 month appointment. (Can you believe my baby is already 6 months old? Where did the time go?) The verdict? He is quite healthy and insanely tall for his age. Like inches off the top of the chart which makes his tall momma proud. Quinn didn't fare so well. He was diagnosed with an earache. Poor guy.
Now back to Wyatt...he has joined the thumb-sucking team in the family (making it a total of 3 children. I too sucked my thumb, although I've long since quit that habit for other, more fun habits like eating chocolate and biting my nails when I'm nervous. Yeah, I know...) I find it fascinating that my three suckers all suck their thumbs differently. Wy has a side suck thing going on.
Probably later when he matures, this side-action will allow him to freely pick his nose while sucking. Accomplishing two things at once. WTG potential future multi-tasker! I can only hope...giggle...
Anyway, after his visit, I rewarded myself for keeping both him and his very rambunctious brother, Quinny, (along with 4 other busy bodies) alive for 6 months straight by visiting the art store. (After all, a mother must celebrate every little victory, right?) It had been quite a while since I stepped foot into a real art supply store and it was like walking straight into heaven. I found so many wonderful things that all I wanted to do was toodle about, reading labels, touching paintbrushes and fingering paint tubes. Then Quinn (safely tied up in the stroller) grabbed a glass jar of ink and swung it about. Luckily, I have reflexes like a semi-lame cat and I snatched it from his little hands before disaster struck. After that, I kinda sped up my walk though heaven while Wyatt, safely in a pack on my back pulled on my hair and Elyssa chatted about various subjects at random. Let me tell you people, heaven ain't peaceful.
Anyway, that was pretty much my morning. This afternoon we are off to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few supplies for the sewing projects that I've undertaken. I'm currently sewing a dress for Zoey's upcoming baptism and confirmation, and two skirts and a tunic for moi using the following Amy Butler patterns. I won't be able to wear the tunic until Wy is done nursing in about 6 months, but that is about the time frame I've given myself so it all works out pretty well.

I set up a large table behind my couch for my sewing. Yes, I've exploded out of my studio. You'd think that three tables in my studio would be enough, but it isn't. The sewing table in the family room allows me to indulge in a bit of t.v. while I sew which I find to be a lovely way to pass the evening hours. I love watching a little something while I sew. My favorites are British movies like Jane Austen films. There is something about their accents that make me feel so homey and a bit exotic. Plus, these are movies that are just not appreciated by the general population of the household. Cam once summed up Pride and Prejudice in these words: "all they do is walk and talk." Yes, they are so not appreciated.
I suppose that is all for now. I hope you have a lovely weekend! Ours will be spent working on a science fair project on tornadoes. We'll be making a real-live tornado in a few pop bottles. It should be very fun. Too bad explosions and live animals were deemed illegal by the school judges. Now, a little explosion would have made life quite exciting. Don't you think?
