There has been a lot that has happened in the last few days so this may be a big, jumbled post, but bear with me.
On Sunday we went to my Aunt's for dinner and Tanner saw the ensign and said "It's President Monson...Yea!!! We follow the prophet". It was so sweet.
OH WAIT WAIT...the night before the reason I was up so late was because of this little sneaky devil
I came home from work and saw that the mouse trap under the computer desk was flipped over and so I went a little closer to see if the mouse was in it...nope. So I went to put something down on the counter and I hear this little "squeak, squeak". When I turned around, there was the mouse on the back of the loveseat just sitting there. I threw a sock and ball at it and it didn't move. So I went and woke Matt up (this is at 12:30am) and he put it in a bag and put it in the garbage. He discovered it was injured and put it out of it's misery before he threw it out. I HATE mice!
Anyways, so then yesterday I thought of a great idea of how to get Tanner to sleep in his room. We bought this tent thing at IKEA a few years back for him to play in and it ended up just holding all his stuffed animals. When we moved here, I had put it away thinking nothing of it. So I thought "if I get it out, I wonder if Tanner will sleep in it". So yesterday, I asked him if I pulled out his tent, would he sleep in his big boy bedroom in his tent. He of course was excited about this and couldn't wait for me to get it set up. So these are his new sleeping digs:
Yesterday, I went into the new, local quilt shop, which, by the way, has BEAUTIFUL fabric. Probably the most beautiful I've ever seen. I love this store and I think it will quickly become a favorite place of mine. Anyways, I bought a magazine that had some really cute apron patterns...I have a little fetish for aprons lately. I had my name entered into a weekly draw and guess what???? I WON!!! This is what I won:
The fabric on the top (the brown polka dotted stuff, the striped one and the 2 other polka dot fabric), is what I'm thinking of making a duvet cover out of. I think I'd like it to be reversible so I'll do the polka dots on one side and the stripes on the other. I have a picture of what I want it to look like in my mind but I can't really explain it. ALSO....my name will be entered for a sewing machine at the end of the month! Can you even stand it??? I can't. That would be so exciting. I don't have a sewing machine and my Mom is suppose to be getting one of the 3 she has repaired for me but she just hasn't had the time. I think I'm more excited for that then tomorrow.
So because I'm feeling really really really good today, I'm having a draw of my own today. 5 cards for a lucky individual. All you have to do is tell me in the comments section what has been your favorite card you have recieved and if you send cards yourself. I will keep the draw open until Sunday. I'll post the winner on Monday. Only 1 post on the contest will be counted. Here is a picture of the cards. There is a thank you, birthday, friend, love and misc. card.
So I hope you all enjoy this fun filled post.
