Making time for reading


This week I have been able to get caught up on all my sewing, bag packing and getting things ready for the  baby.  I was able to make a car seat canopy and matching diaper/wipes case.  I'm really pleased with how they've turned out.  (Although I haven't take time to photo them as yet ~ I will though.)  The reason I've got a little behind on things is because I've been making time for more reading.  Yes that's right, for those of you who know me, I'm not really a big reader, but the more I read the more I actually enjoy it ~ go figure! :)  So for my birthday last year Matthias got me the first book in the trilogy, The Hunger Games.  Okay, so I had heard it was a good book, but after reading the synopsis I really wasn't that interested to read it.  It didn't seem like my cup of tea.....So when Matthias got it for my birthday, I thought, okay I better give this book a try.  After reading a few chapters, let me tell you, I couldn't put the book down.  To my surprise I just loved it.  For Christmas I got the other 2 books and finished them within a week! :)  So now you've guessed it, I can't actually wait for the film to come out next month.  There is only one little problem, it comes out on my due date!  I wouldn't call myself a die hard 'Hunger Games' fan, but I am interested in seeing the movie, so I've decided, I will have our little bundle of joy a week early and then go to see the movie the next week on opening night.  I don't think it's too much to ask, after all he has been there for 34 weeks now and I think 39 weeks is just a perfect amount of time to be wanting to join us in this world.  (If you're thinking, well it could happen the other way round, see the movie, then a week later have the baby, well, that's just not an option!  NOT an option! :))  Joking aside, I really am not going to plan my baby round a movie, that's just wrong, but I will be interested to see how good the movie is and how accurate to the book it is....

Well, I think that's all of my ramblings for this week.  I promise I will get photos of my sewing work on here too.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Easter Fun

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun. Baptism photos at the Temple One last one.....for now!  She was so excited to do an Easter Egg Hunt! Isn't he handsome!  Bruises and all! :) Beautiful girl! Another handsome big, big boy!

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...
