Our Weekend

I keep putting off writing a post because I don't have any pictures...but I'm going to write this anyway and try to add pictures later.

Thursday I stayed home from school because Brinn was sick. In addition to getting my house cleaned, I finished sewing my trial teddy bear. I bought some cute fuzzy material I am planning on making Bean a teddy bear with, but I wanted to make sure I could pull it off first, so I made one with some scrap fabric I had. I am quite proud of myself. It is far from perfect, but still an impressive feat for someone who isn't really a seamstress.

Saturday afternoon we rotatilled our new garden spot, measured out our rows and planted some of the early stuff. We planted some strawberries earlier this week and are getting some blackberry bushes from Dave's dad. Nel came over to help us plant. It was fun and makes me anxious for summer!

Yesterday we had a family meeting and discussed our summer plans. We got a flyer for all of the summer programs offered in the community and decided to let the girls choose one activity they wanted to participate in. We decided we wanted them to take swimming lessons so they can handle themselves in the pool better, but they got to pick their other activity and both decided to do the summer tennis camp. It should be fun!

Last thing, those of you who know Emmett, most assuredly know about the Cherry Festival and might recall that my mom always made us an amazing little kids float for the kids' parade. Well, Springville also has a Children's Parade during its Art City Days, and Nel and I are going to make a float this year. I emailed the director to get an idea about what to expect. I was afraid we might over do it...and yes, we will. It sounds like most kids just come and walk the route. Well, Nel and I will show them how it is really supposed to work. :) Our float is going to be spectacular and definitely over the top from what Springville has experienced before. More details pending, but be excited because the theme is "Living the Sweet Life."
