Busy day of making treats and crafts

I signed the boys up to attend a holiday nature crafts event today. I had planned to drop Ted and Harry off but maybe stay with Nate for a little while. It was really busy and loud so I was glad I didn't just drop Ted and Harry off. The college students who helped at each of the tables did a great job with the kids. Nate loved all the crafts. They painted some paper for cards, made some ornaments from trees, made elves out of pine cones, and made cards using crayons and glitter. I should take pictures tomorrow of each of them with their stuff.

Afterwards, we went to Subway for lunch. Ted talked to me a bit about his friend, J, who is a girl. He said he has a crush on her and might even marry her when they're older. I asked him if she felt the same way about him but he's not sure. They promised to be best friends 'til the end, though. Ted told me that he doesn't think it's going to be hard finding a girl to marry. There's another girl that he also likes so if J moves away he might marry her. I hate to think about girls breaking his heart but I have a feeling that's going to happen in a few years. I hope he starts to understand that marriage is a bit more complicated than just finding someone before his heart is broken.

Sewing is dangerous

A few months ago, I tried washing the sheer curtain in the bathroom since it was so dusty. I thought maybe it'd be ok if I put it on gentle cycle--nope, it came out of the washer completely shredded. So, I bought some material to make a new curtain. It's supposedly washable fabric but I won't be taking that chance in a while. Anyway, I needed to sew along the top. I had put it off long enough so while I thought Bob had the boys entertained, I took out the sewing machine. I started sewing and Nate came into the dining room. He told me I was going to hurt myself. I told him that I was being careful and I'd be fine. I was almost to the end (luckily) and Nate was under the table "helping" me sew by pushing the pedal.

I guess I should have listened to him. Sewing is dangerous when your 2 yr old is still awake. :)
