I am starting to see things slow down!

We have been so busy since spring break. It is very busy juggling everyone's activities. Soccer has really been busy, with both Big G and Miss M playing. This past weekend we had 4 soccer games, Lil's 4th birthday party, Big G's best friend's birthday party and my niece was singing in her church choir! Next weekend is much of the same with a gymnastics exhibition and the piano recitals. I am really looking forward to summer. The only thing I have signed my kids up for this summer is VBS, and I am tempted for that to be it. When I get some time I really want to "plan" some down time for them, that is the planner in me - even planning to do nothing! Plus, there are about a 100 things that I want to sew. I sewed the Easter dresses, they came out pretty but I didn't get many great pics of them. I also made Lil a crocodile A-line for her "Reptile" Birthday party this past weekend. I need to make Garrett look like a Western Diamond Back rattlesnake for this Friday. The second grade is having a "Talking Zoo". Not sure how great I will be at keeping up the blogging this next month, but I am going to try hard.

Here are some pics of us during the past few weeks:

The Party is Over

Finally, the Tea Party/Birthday Party is over. It was my main focus these last few weeks. It was so fun. The birthday girl had a fabulous time, all the girls did. M picked out pink fabric and I made a table runner and napkins:

Of course, both girls needed a new long skirt to wear for the fancy party day. M picked out pink satin. Lill picked out pale blue crushed velvet?? She said it was so soft just like her lovey, and wouldn't budge. So, that is what we made. here is a pic before we added our pink feather boas and white gloves:

Such good manners by all the girls they really got into it! Here are a couple more pics that I will bore you with:
