Dreaming Big

It's too quiet around here today. The girls were home last week for their Spring Break. We stuck around here and did some fun things (which I may get brave enough to post about later) and had a good time. I miss them today.

Well, except for the fighting and the whining about chores. That I don't miss. It took Sleeping Beauty ten minutes after getting off the bus last Friday to use the argument, "But, why do I have to do that now? It's Spring Break." As if that excused her from doing anything but lying in the sun and drinking lemonade for an entire week. Even I only do that every other day (in my dreams...)

One of us did more than just play, though. Cinderella spent five hours one day with one of her church leaders (who, by the way, is a saint) and learned to sew a skirt. She also made a blanket, but it's a gift, so I won't show it to you. She picked out the fabric for her skirt, cut it out, sewed it up, and then modeled it for all of you. However, I only had ten seconds before church to take the picture, so it's terrible and doesn't do the skirt justice. It's much cuter than it looks in the picture. So cute that I am thinking of starting my own little sweat shop where she sews skirts and I sell them on Etsy for loads of money. I'll be rich. I may get to start lying in the sun and drinking lemonade for real. She might have to quit school to keep up with the demand, but she'll always have her skirt skills to fall back on, right?
