Fun Friday Facts

1. It's been raining most of the week. The sun is finally shining today. However, our planned trip to the splash pad has been thwarted by a tree that fell there earlier this week. It's closed for 2 weeks for repairs. Boo.

2. We are revisiting this craft this weekend. Bennet specifically asked to make the "good tasting" art project. Crazy since it was almost a year ago to the day!

3. I sewed a new valance to go in my newly painted bathroom the other night. Scout said, "I don't like it Mom. Just kidding." Thanks- I think.

4. Everytime Ryan Reynolds comes on the TV Bennet says, "Mom , your boyfriend is on TV". Now Scout's started to do it too.

5. Speaking of my boyfriend, Bennet, Scout and I (not so much I) watched the original Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996) movie the other night. He plays the popular DB in that movie. With a really bad haircut.

5. My co-worker gave me some scrap denim back in January and it's been hiding in a bag under my desk since then. I finally used it this week and made Bennet a super cute skirt with 3 layers of ruffles. My friend Trinka complimented her this morning and she said, "My mom makes me pretty skirts". That made my heart flutter a little bit. (grainy photo)

6. Last weekend I finished The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. I really enjoyed it.

7. Then I devoured the last Spenser novel in less than a day. Robert B. Parker passed away in 2010 so Sixkill is his last book. I will miss Spenser, Hawk and even Susan.

8. I am getting very excited about our annual trip to MN for the 4th of July. My sister Megan is coming home from New Mexico and I get to meet my new niece Morgan. SO excited!!

9. Came to the realization this morning that Scout will turn 4 in a little over two months. WHAT?

10. I plan on spending some quality time with both my sewing machine and scrap supplies this weekend. I have a couple of sketches I want to work on for the Inspired to Scrap sketch class.
