We started our day today with a final attempt at trimming the twins’ hair. I am not sure how happy we are with the results but they at least now are more presentable. The plan is to get them cut by a hairdresser (or my mom) in a month or two. Their hair is so straight and has these very pale sections.
We packed everyone up (Karyn included) and headed to Michaels today for their free craft event – yarn dolls. They were made with a round wooden shape with a hole in the bottom, wooden clothespins (the kind with the metal spring) and yarn. I had to sit with Trinity and make hers as she was playing shy with the girl in charge, but the boys went right at it. Emanuel made a Mr. Lopart (with the comb over and all!) from Handy Manny!
With a bit of time on our hands Karyn and I headed out for a snack and a discussion about Fat Sheep! Specifically The Future Adventures of Fat Sheep. This is something we are working on based around a large stuffed sheep she picked up yesterday. I will link the website once it is up (hopefully late tonight) BUT you can follow Fat Sheep on Twitter – Phatsheepettte…. trust me we are going to go somewhere with this!
Chris and Chris came into town to do taxes and talk wedding and then took us all (and Sean) out to a buffet style restaurant for supper… it was an adventure with at least 3 servers commenting on how sweet and tiny Echo is!!
So tonight we are all VERY full and rather lethargic. I have a couple craft projects to finish, including some sewing of my own. We already have all the kids’ church clothes sorted out for tomorrow to streamline things. Now if I can just keep focused… and get Echo settled after being out for an evening.
