A Pajama kind of day...

It started out so promising with big fluffy clouds in the sky and weather.com reporting a 40% chance of rain. For some reason the good stuff misses us most times! We did get about an hour of drizzles but that was it. We are in need of a really good steady soaking so bad, especially since we just put new sod down in February. At least we have sprinklers and its getting water that way but the budget doesn't like it! LOL We will continue to say a prayer for rain even though come July we will be soaking wet. (usually I have to mow twice a week during the summer so it doesn't get so high the mower clogs)



So in anticipation of great rain falls today we decided to stay in. We had a great mommy and Charlie day! =) We played Chase Charlie, peek-a-boo, read some books, played with Balou, and just chilled! This was definitely a great day to do this because Charlie is on another growth spurt - I think. He slept almost 14 hours last night and took two hour and half naps! Plus, he ate so much food today! One thing is for sure with him, we haven't ever worried about him eating - LOL



They are best buds already! Charlie always is giving him kisses =)



So, I did get a lot accomplished today during Charlie's naps. I am almost finished with the top layer of Cannon's quilt. I am going with the UofM theme again. We couldn't have one boy with MI and one without - not to mention I saw home videos of Sean when he was a wee little one and he was wearing UofM gear then! I am actually having a lot of fun with it. It is different and I know no one else will ever have the same bedding. Here are a couple of pics so far....




Cut, pieced and ready to slice in half to piece them together.


After slicing and re-piecing. All that's left is sewing each block together, pin, quilt and bind. I have missed my sewing machine so much! I should be finished with the comforter by next Wednesday which will be perfect because the Michigan fabric for the bumper and skirt should be here on Thursday!! Can you feel my excitement??

Until tomorrow....I am going to relax!
