Have Fabric - Will Sew

You have always been incredible at creating games, projects, and generally keeping yourself really busy (and my house really messy). And recently your skills have come out through the medium of the cloth.

Your Auntie gifted you a trip to the Downtown LA garment district to pick out some fabric for your bday. I could KICK myself for not getting more picks of the other fabrics and creations.

But you whipped up this little number in about 30 minutes or so - hand stitched no less.

Dear lord child. You are A-MAZ-ING. And I totally would have been friends with you if we had met randomly when I was 9.

Aiden's Bday

Happy Birthday Aiden!!

It can not always be said that I love kid birthday parties (honesty warning) but I had such a good time at this party it's making on the blog.

Reason #1 I had an excellent time:

Got to see my bestie who is one hard-working, crazy-hours-at-the-office, super-dedicated-sports-mom-on-the-weekends, all around awesome person who I don't see enough of. Love her.

And I love watching her relationship with her kids.

…..and I love her husband Jessie.

Reason #2 I got to spend time with Lilly our friend Lauren's daughter.

And they shared pacifiers - or "packs" as Savannah would say. She also used to call them "patties"

And Lilly's brother Owen is still Willsie's fav person and it was a treat to see him on the weekend too!

#3 My niece - oh how I LOVE her.

#4 Watching this little thang keep up with the older kids.

#5 Watching all the kids have fun & TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS again! Taking pics with one's iPhone doesn't really count. It's been so long since I have really used my big camera and it felt soooo good.

#6 Witnessing the incredible talent of Aiden's grandma aka Dorie Kinney aka The Cake Lady aka My first boss. This ninja turtle pizza cake was friggin incredible.
