Weekend trip

This past weekend I made another trip up to Idaho to visit Brad and Katie. I left right after work on Thursday and the whole way up it was blowing really bad and I think there may have been a fire or two because most of the time the sun looked like this or worse. I couldn't see it for awhile. I just thought it was interesting.

While I was up there Katie had some fabric that she was going to make into a receiving blanket. She told me that I was going to learn to sew one so she let me go at it. I was really nervous because I didn't want to ruin the cute fabric she had. While I was cutting off extra material I made the kiddos masks from the strips of material I had. It was funny to watch them play with them.

I love this picture of Emily. No smiling just all business.

Isn't it so cute. I must say I was pretty excited about it. Sure it wasn't too labor intensive but I just worried about sewing straight because I have problems with doing anything that requires straight lines. I also made some yummy zucchini bread. I brought a loaf to work yesterday and everyone ate it right up.

To add on to the other amazing homemaker things, I helped can green beans and mowed their lawn. After all of that I felt like I'd accomplished a lot. It was a really fun weekend and I loved visiting and playing with Ben and Emily, not to mention getting my laundry done for FREE!
