Aww thanks!

Someone linked me to a friend's Etsy site and she was selling bibs. It made me feel better because even with all the mistakes in my bibs, I think mine actually look better than hers. ;)

I still have a long way to go before my sewing is good, but I think these are a great practice project. They're quick and fun, too! :)

Thanks!! :)

Oh yes- and the bibs? AWESOME. :)

I have a few Roald Dahl books here, but I'm not sure which ones I have. I'm pretty sure I have the BFG, along with a few others (no James and the Giant Peach though, for some strange reason).

Little House is a must have series for us. I'll get them for her as soon as she brings home the little Scholastic paper unless I can get a good deal on them before that. I know those little things support the schools, so... if I don't order those books through them, I'm sure I'll be ordering something else through them.

LOL I noticed the fun you've been having on goodreads.com.

Yay for mail!! She loves mail! I'll have to take a picture of her when I tell her she gets mail. She makes the craziest faces. You are so awesome! :)

Ooh, very good to know. I didn't realize curledup.com had a kids' section. I well *definitely* check it out.

I probably skimmed and left out too much info in doing so, didn't I? Eesh. I need to stop trying to play with Sophie and keep up with email at the same time. ;)

We are currently looking at pictures from Christmas that I thought I'd lost. :) It's fun!

It is expensive. You can usually find deals on their website. We went there once it was AWESOME!

Yes we went with the boys..they had a blast. We went to the one up in Traverse City. They have a craft area where they do a different craft every day with the kids, they also have a story time out in the main lobby every night. You can order milk and cookies to be delivered by the wolf right to your room at bedtime. The room we got had a little cubby area with bunk beds and a tv in it for the kids so they were separate from the rest of the room. And even if you only do it once you have to let the giant bucket of water empty on you, but turn your back to the bucket because it comes out full force and doesn't feel so good on your face.

Yeah, I figured that would be the case. I think we'll probably go at least one time when Sophie is a bit older (by a few years at least) and possibly try to get the whole family together to do it. I have to say, the rooms look pretty darn cool!!

With us living so far away from the rest of my family, it's not easy for us to get together, and something like this might actually entice them away from their homes and on a little vacation. I'm looking forward to hearing about it from my friend when he gets back tomorrow. I seriously hope he is taking pictures!

Especially for those family members who are stuck in snow all the time. It's easy to forget when you're inside like this.

My parents used to take us to a hotel in Chatham, ON for a similar type weekend, although it was really just a hotel with two big pools, a big water slide, some pool tables, ping pong, and mini golf. ;) We still had a blast for a weekend in the middle of winter every year we went. :)

I think it was a Best Western we stayed at, pretty nice for the chain, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if it's still there or not, though.

You guys aren't that far from Chatham, are you? I can't remember.

I think it took us about the same amount of time. Not too long for a weekend trip. :)

Thanks for posting that! I didn't want to list the prices if they weren't valid for everyone, you know?

Her stuff is in-freakin'-credible! Seriously, I hope people check it out because it's just so awesome!

Has she never had her stuff published? I mean, I may not know the ins and outs of photography, but I really think her stuff is amazing. :)

LOL Dang! That's crazy~!

*blush* Thanks! I know I still have room for improvement, but I really like the way they turned out. I'm in the process of finding a place that will make custom tags for me.

I found one of the green sites in Real Simple this month and the other from my gDiapers Yahoo! group. I bookmarked them but figured I'd probably forget about them so I'd better share them so they actually get used. My bookmarks are a little out of control. ;)

I figure if we wait until Sophie is about seven or eight years old, her cousins will be just a tad younger, and they can all go and have a grand time. Of course, there will be other cousins by then, I'm sure... Who knows. It just looks like a lot of fun, very different from most other vacations.

The list is from a Brit paper. They have strange taste. ;) [much love to my Brit friends] Some day, when I have time on my hands, I would like to compile a list of books I've read, books others recommend, and award winning books, just to share with friends. I know B&N has lists of award winners, so that part is pretty easy. I'm hoping goodreads.com will help with the rest of it. ;)

I've never even heard of some of those books, which is the main reason I wanted to remember the list. For example, I've never heard of Enid Blyton at all. There are a lot of books I would have put on the list in place of some of the books I didn't recognize, but I'm hoping I'll be able to find some of the books I don't know so Sophie can be a little bit more well read. Heh, not sure if that makes sense or not.

Yeah, but some of the not very politically correct books are the best books! ;) Some of my favorite books are on banned lists here.
