My kids have the coolest Grampa ever. Click through to see why...

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.

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.

VBS started last night! Our church is doing it a bit differently this year, and is having it for 5 consecutive Wednesday nights.

Yesterday morning, I stopped by the church and picked up the kids t-shirts. I bought Megan a bigger one so that I could cut it up and turn it into a cute dress. And this is where the drama began...
