5. Yes, that’s right. I said 5.

January 26, 2010

Abby and a good girlfriend of hers turn 5 years old 2 days apart (Feb. 11th and 13th).  So, we’re throwing a big old fashioned joint birthday party for them.  Abby loves pink and Kaitlyn loves orange.  I couldn’t help but make them some twinsie t-shirts for the big day.
I’m pleased with how they turned out.  My first foray into reverse applique.  It went swimmingly.

Bits:

  • Tom and I are taking off for Mexico on Saturday.  Same place as last time, but without the busted up ankle and broken-into car(knocking on every piece of wood I can reach right now).
  • We are putting on a birthday party with 40 invited children 6 days after we get back.  Ahem.  Posting will be light until *that* adventure is over!
  • I cannot stop listening to this song and the rest of them on this album. (Really, could Andrea at Hula Seventy get any cooler. . . most of my good ideas lately have come from her blog).
  • I really want a haircut.  A *good* haircut.
  • I did number 19 on the list.  Will post pictures etc. later.
  • Due to this, number 8 might not happen until after I’m 35.  Boo.
  • Random highlight of the week?  Watching my almost 5 year old lay on her back and read, really read a book to her 4 month old buddy.

    My mouth is hanging open! Those are the cutest fives I have ever seen. You were serious when you said you were pleased. Can you make me a “35″ shirt too? :) Adorable Carrie, adorable!

      Yay! I’m so glad you like them. I hope the girls love them too. I haven’t shown Abby yet. :)

    LOVE reverse applique. Careful: it can get addicting :)

    Have a great trip/party whirlwind! Crossing my fingers that things go better this year. Um, I mean, I’m SURE things will go better this year.

    Also: I like your “bits” post. Lots of fun links to wade through. Do that more. ;)
