Where did the time go???

Oh man have the days flown by! I have been so crazy busy. I am currently making a wrap skirt pattern for http://feelinfeminine.com/?p=7318
since we all love to sew and we would rather have more practical cotton skirts.
Oh and I've been getting my school work finished and getting my workouts in on top of keeping the house clean I feel sooo productive and praying it stays this way without me getting burned out.
I will be starting to babysit a friend's son next week and and we will see how much gets accomplished when that starts (4 boys in one house under the age of 6). Well that is all I have for you praying you all have a great week Shalom

Eventually we will build these http://ana-white.com/2010/04/bragging-board-i-cannot-believe-its-not-bought-homeade-is-looking-gooooood.html   to go under our bed for our regular clothes.
