This dress is huge. When I finished making it, I looked at it and thought that it would never in a million years fit Megan this year. But, it does. My little girl is growing up too fast.

I'm on a roll this week, huh? Haven't ever posted so many sewing projects so close together!

This morning I made three little travel pillows for the kids. Since we will be traveling over night, the kids will have to sleep for quite a while in the car. Hopefully these little pillows will make them a bit more comfortable.

"Mommy, I'm ready to go to Popa's house. Can we leave now? PLEASE?"

Miss Megan desperately needs clothes. Most of her clothes are getting to be too small, or they are too stained to wear in public. Thankfully, God has blessed me with the ability to sew! And the princess has been reaping the benefits lately.

I love these things. I think they are so useful, and just so stinkin' cute! I've made a bunch of them in the past, but somehow, until today, I'd never made any for MY kids. I decided that this would be a good way for them to keep their crayons contained on our long drive this weekend. We'll see if it works. Click through for pictures.

On Friday we'll be leaving to visit the great, humid land that is called Omaha, Nebraska. While there, we always do all sorts of fun activities. One of the things that the kids enjoy the most, is helping Ma in the kitchen. She often lets them make cookies, frosting, pizza, and other things that more often than not end up unidentifiable. But the kids always have a great time.

I so needed today. This has been one of the most wonderful, relaxing days that our family has had in weeks...maybe months. Our calendar for today was completely empty. We all slept in, and then had a laid back morning.

Tonight we went to a 51's baseball game. We went with a group from church, and had a really good time. It was super hot (115ish) and the game didn't start until 7, so it made for a late night. But the kids were awesome, and really enjoyed themselves.

It's kind of a rough day today for our family. I realized that I was letting myself get caught up in the unfairness of the situation, and I was focusing on the wrong things. Life might not always be fair or right or good. But I serve an amazing God, whose plan is always better than my own. He has given me an amazing husband and incredible kids. What more could I ask for?

So here's a little bit of my perspective for today. I will be posting more later today, so stay tuned.

We visited another church this week for VBS. Our church is having a 5 week VBS this year, and I wanted the kids to experience a weeklong one. We all had a blast. This VBS was held at Green Valley Baptist Church. They had over 300 kids in attendance! They also had a VBS for Mom's to attend while the kids were in class. I really enjoyed that and made a lot of new friends.
