Today was a great day. Catherine slept for 7 hours last night . The third night in a row for 5 or more hours of sleep at a time. Praise God.

This morning threw in load of everbody's sheets.Then got started on finishing up painting the celing in the spare room. This has room redo has been a project in the making for over a year. I figured we better get cracking on it again, since we have a new baby that could use the small room, and calvin would get this room. I did get the celing finished, now I just have to wait for more funds, to get two more rollers for the walls, and some primer and paint.Then we went down and got the mail, and then started working  in the front yard. Yesterday we went to the inlaws and I was able to borrow there Garden Claw. The thing works wonders on our horrible thatch grass.  I am going to  transplant my hostas up front, because they were not getting enough sun, by the back steps.

This is the before shot of the front of our house. This morning I was able to make one pass with the garden claw before it was time for lunch. For lunch we had strawberries, and grapes, and grapefruit. Calvin had his first taste of grapfruit. It was not up his alley. Then it was time for him to have quiet time, and catherine was sleeping so I pulled out some sewing. I was working on doing some mending. The first dress is an Amish dress I picked up for catherine at a yard sale for 1.00 it needed to have a hem in it.

So I finished that in no time. The next dress for catherine I also bought at a yard sale. I had to mend the back alitte, which I had done last week, I also noticed the elastic was bad in the sleeves, so I took care of that today. I am not the greatest at the elastic sleeves yet, but we are working on it.

So after that dress, I got all my stuff ready for making my ring sling. I ordered the rings a couple of weeks ago from Slingrings.com They have awesome shipping, and its really fast. I had my fabric cut out before catherine was born. It is a grey jersey. I bought 6yrds. I cut the fabric in half and used one half for a moby wrap type carrier. Then the other half I cut in half  again and am going to make 2 ring slings. So I get my fabric out and my slings.

I put it in my machine to sew through the fabric. I am using the instructions from Mayawrap.com. Well my poor machine, just could not go through the 5 layers of fabric. I was using the jeans needle, and tried 3 different times, no such luck. So when we are in Grand Rapids tommorow, I will see if my moms machine will work, if not I will contact my sewing lady. So I put my sewing mess away and plated up dinner.

Tonight we had beef roast which I cooked in the crockpot along with our Organic Potatoes, that we got in our fruit and veggie box. Salad with organic tomatoes, and whole wheat corn bread. Everything was great except the salad. I am still getting used to not just eating Iceberg lettuce. So it takes like I am eating grass. Yes I did eat grass as a youngster. Also with no dressing. So this is still kinda yucka to me. Oh well. Then I shredded the rest of the roast.

Then mixed it will Kc materpiece barbecue sauce(the only kind my husband will eat). So tommorow we will have barbaque sandwiches. After dinner everbody went outside and worked. Chris mowed the yard and I did another pass with the Garden Claw, and then transplanted my flowers.

This is calvin, catherine, and I working in the yard. Here is the finished front yard.

Well we were out working Chris got a call for a side job, so we all went in cleaned up. I gave the boys haircuts, as we are going to a wedding tommorow and they looked shaggy. Then Chris left for his side job and Calvin to bed. So I am just blogging waiting for Dh to get home. Hope you had a great day. I know I did.
