dailyies

So we've been trying to work on Zoe's Fashionista project.. and yesterday we finally found the cord for the sewing machine and go to sewing.  Each kid took a turn at the sewing machine, sitting in my lap, sewing a small doll size pillow.  Finn was very attentive, Zoe was a little, well.. impatient.. and she drives a sewing machine like she drives her bike.. doesn't stop until she hits something (like my foot trying to knock hers off the pedal of the sewing machine). Finn was very excited to turn his pillow inside out, but Zoe just walked off.. couldn't care less.

Today after school we went for a walk upon the reservoir since the sun was finally shining.. it was brisk, but pleasant.. The snow bells are out.. yesterday I saw a Cherry tree in bloom and blooms on the ocean grape looking plant (I'm not sure what it is called).  Finn took his bike with training wheels.. he is a speed demon.. I need to teach him how to ride without training wheels.. I'm sure he'll do it in now time.

Dinner was Italian food and Finn ate pretty much his weight in food.. even eating the new Squash stuffed ravioli.. he is a pasta guy.  Zoe loves meatballs and all things meat still.. ate quite a bit of vegies, pasta..  Then we broke for clean up, dinner, homework (dreaded spelling tests), Finn on the fridge with magnet puzzles.  Then icecream sundaes and a few rounds of Uno.  Now the kids are in the bath with the left over pasta noodles to play with and are suspiciously quiet.. gotta go find out why.... ;)
