My week off

It's finally sinking in. School starts Monday. I took this week off (well mostly I worked one day). And now it's Saturday and I had the sudden panic that next week I have to go back. I'm excited, don't get me wrong, I love teaching and my kids. But this is the first true week I've taken off since well, before I started here 3 years ago, the summer we moved from St. George. It's been wonderful. We've gotten tons done around the house, even though Justen has still been working. We got the camp trailer cleaned out and winterized, the laundry room cleaned (no easy task it was a mess.) We got our litter of pups here safe and sound. Now though I'm realizing everything I still have to get done before school starts. So, I thought I'd show you one of the projects I just finished. School starting also means Garrison goes back to full time daycare instead of just our sitter around the corner. At daycare his color is Green. This helps keep all of his stuff straight. So I just finished 4 bibs and a blanket all embroidered with his name. Then because I loved the bibs so much I made a whole bunch more for us at home. They are great! They have a hidden waterproof layer inside so no junk leaks through to his clothes. They also have a little turned up pocket at the bottom so they catch all the crumbs as they fall. I'm pretty excited about them. Having something fun to work on is softening the blow that we go back in 2 days.





There are actually two more bibs missing from the picture because they are already in the dirty laundry. We were in desperate need of new bibs, all his old ones have fallen apart.
