Tuesday Night Ramblings

My eyes are a little better today. Thanks to you who commented, even Alicia and Lori who were mean about it:) I know its gross....but I couldn't help but post that picture. Anyway, I started a class tonight teaching a couple of ladies how to sew. I love teaching sewing almost as much as I enjoy sewing. Teaching children everyday, I forget how it is to teach people who don't groan every time you tell them something. Samuel actually told me the other day he didn't care about learning to read.....why would he need to be smart. I guess he thought if he didn't care about reading, I would just say "oh OK well if you don't want to be smart we just won't have school anymore." So it was really fun tonight to teach ladies who really wanted to learn. Abby is very interested in learning to sew. I let her use my machine today to make a baby blanket. I think I will teach her to make a dress next. That is the beauty of homeschooling, we can focus on what we are interested in. Maybe Samuel will show an interest in something soon.....like reading! Erin reads anything she can get her hands on....and she is becoming a good reader. Any home school Mama knows you breath a sigh of relief when your children start reading well. Well its way past my bed time......

Glad your eye is better lady!
I too sewed yesterday for the 1st time in over 2 years (ummm..well come to think of it since you taught all of us)
So glad you were able to teach some ladies who were excited to be sewing :) Aren't kids so much fun :)

I really need you to teach me to sew. Ryan probably would appreciate it too. It would take a load off of you as well. Ryan is still worried his blue jeans are going to be ruined from the bell bottoms you sewed on them. Glad your eye is better but the picture was still gross!! HaHa.

Your eyes looked great last night. Especially after you added the drops.

We enjoyed hanging out with you all last night. We need to do it more often.

Hey, Noah, just rolled out of the bed this morning and headed off to preschool. I couldn't believe it since it was 11:00 when he got in the bed!!!
