Felt Show Update

SO..The party was not a roaring success. Only 2 people made it and 1 will order and the other will host a catalog show. I am in the middle of my first catalog show right now so I am not sure how those turn out. I am sure that the parties are much more effective when you can see the felt in person and touch it and see that it is a much better quality than the other felt boards you can buy in the store. Plus I can explain all the reasons why Story Time Felts is so much better than other products!!!

I have a show tonight that I am expecting a better turn out from and I am picking up an order from a day care center tomorrow morning so hopefully this month will turn out alright after all!!!!

Story Time Felts


So this Saturday I am hosting a felt show at my house (I sell Story Time Felts) for my neighbors and some friends who have not been able to make a show yet. However so far only one person has given me an RSVP saying that she is coming. I am a little concerned but still hoping for the best.
I hosted a Pampered Chef show for my neighbors a couple of years ago and I dont think I got any RSVP's but 5 people came so I am just hoping the same thing will happen again. I was really counting on this show to help me to break out my circle of friends into people I don't know so that my business will grow. So I will just pray that the neighbors are in a neighborly mood tomorrow night at 8!! I will post the results soon!!

Swimming at a lake

The children and I went to visit a friend and her family who are camping at a nearby lake for the summer today. It was the perfect day for it as it was 95 degrees!! We needed to be near water today! Everyone had a GREAT time! There was a dock to jump from and both girls jumped many many times! Snow White was jumping by herself with her noodle by the end of our swimming time! I couldn't believe it...she had to go under water and everything. This was good practice for our vacation in a couple of weeks! Flower Picker was jumping to one are while Do-Do was in the other with her floaties on and loving every jump! We had to take a break now and then to let Do-Do get himself full of sand...although surprisingly enough he didn't eat any!! YAY

After swimming we went back to the camping trailer and the children played on the slip and slide while dinner was being cooked..hot dogs and hamburgers. We were planning to eat outside on the picnic table but it was right in the sun and even at 6pm it was still so hot that in less than 20 minutes and entire stick of butter melted into a puddle on the potato plate! Needless to say we took the picnic into the trailer and although it was crowded it worked!

All in all it was a really fun day had by all! I need to be better about bringing my camera along to capture the fun! It just never seems to enter my mind until we are at and event and I wish I had it!! I will be working on it!

I can feed myself..kind of!

A few days ago Do-Do began to show and interest in holding his own spoon and putting it in his mouth, so I began to put food on the spoon and hand it to him. He seemed to be doing a great job so I gave him the bowl as well.



He started out doing very well



He was multi-tasking too!!





It wasn't long before he decided that he wasn't getting enough food in that way!



And by the end he couldn't decide which choice to make!!

Hopefully this will be the beginning of him feeding him self independently as I am tired of feeding him and eating at the same time. Soon I will be able to enjoy a meal where I am only feeding myself!...maybe

4th of July

Last night the children and I went to a 4th of July picnic (Hubby was working 3-11 :( ). It didn't begin until 7pm (which is bed time at our house!) so I was a little concerned about how they would do being out so late. The hosting family lives way out in the country about 30min. from our house (which was one of the reasons I wanted to go despite the late start). It was so beautiful there. They own 80 acres and their driveway is 3/4 of a mile long. You have to have 4 wheel drive to make it up the driveway so we parked at the bottom and caught a ride up with another family! I felt like we were in an ocean of green..just grass and trees everywhere!

The country is a child's dream come true! Lots of room to run! They have a large garden, raspberry bushes ( the girls enjoyed hunting for raspberries!), a strawberry patch, a huge sand pit (we came home filthy!) and a big wooden swing set. Do-Do loved that he could wander about without restriction! The family also just had two litters of kittens born and Flower Picker couldn't get enough kitten! She was walking around with one under each arm for much of the night...needless to say the kittens had a long night!

We ate and played, then prayed the Rosary and had dessert and by that time it was almost 9:30 and the fireworks weren't scheduled to begin until 10pm. So we said our goodbyes and headed home. We didn't get home until 10:15 but Do-Do was asleep and the girls went right to bed with out any trouble. All that running and fresh air tired them out! Despite the fact that bed time was 3 hours late Snow White was up promptly at 6! Flower Picker was next at 7 and Do-Do "slept in" until 7:20!! We had a fabulous night lets hope we wont pay for it today!!
