{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}

Pretty

I finished up my hair flowers and managed a blog post about them this week.  I am very happy with how they turned out and think they are pretty and feminine, exactly right for all the girls in this house.

The black picture is the frame I picked out for another earring keeper.  I really love this frame, but it doesn't go with my house, sad but true.  It will however be perfect in my nieces room!
 

Happy

I am especially happy this week because the jacket I had cut out for a month for my middlest is almost done.  I have the sleeves finished most of the top stitching, only the bottom and buttons left,  YAY!  One down two to go, hee hee.  Well almost...
Funny

Baby is 21 months old and still looks like she has no hair.  Well From the front, Don't know what that is about but it is crazy, curly and whispy in the back and shut short and straight on top and the sides.  Lately she has a bad case of bed hair, the good thing is at least you can tell she has hair!

Oh, and Grandma, she has your penchant lately for closing her eyes in pictures!  I took 6 and they all pretty much look like this.

Real

When you live with 3 silly little geese, lots of funny things happen every day, but most of them are hard to express in words.  I will say that we had a wonderful moment at lunch yesterday.  All of us around the table eating, and happy and bantering off of each other, Baby up to normal baby antics.  It was especially noteworthy because Middlest and Oona both showed signs of negative moods and contrariness when going about breakfast. I used to miss the transformation to fun loving kids when they would head of to school.  I was left in the morning with a negative attitude while the teachers and classmates got the fun loving kid.  And at the end of the day I got a cranky exhausted kid.  Now we get the fun stuff and get to share it with each other.  That is very real!
