Special Birthday Party

Today is Adrian's Fifth Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRIAN!!

Trends come and go so quickly these days. Nickelodeon and PBS Kids make sure that little people have plenty to do with their imaginations. At the moment, the Moza kids are into Team Umizoomi! At any given time you might hear the sounds of Bot, Geo and Milli buzzing around the house. So, for Adrian's party he had six of his church friends and neighbors over for playtime and a snack for lunch. His Mommy put together all kinds of Umizoomi crafts for the kids. I would say they all had an Umizoomi good time!

This evening Adrian will share his special day with extended family for supper. I'll post more pictures with Uncle Furfy, Mimi & Da, Auntie Jo, and Ludee & Papa.

Determination

A few days ago Savannah was in the backyard on critter patrol and apparently spotted a lizard or cicada in the photinia bush. Ever since then she makes a bee line to that bush whenever she goes outside and proceeds to sit and stare into the bush, hoping to catch another glimpse of her critter.

I have looked and looked in the branches of the bush... even shook the limbs to see if something might jump (or fly) out. To date I have been unable to see any living thing there. But that does not deter my dog. She has the determination inherent in her breed and the memory to go with it. Until she either finds her critter or is drawn to another area of the backyard, she will continue to take her stand underneath the photinia!

Meanwhile I was really happy to catch her smiling face in this picture. Happy hunting, Savannah!

Cute, Cute, Cute!!!

Several months ago I made a cute baby pillow to go with a quilt for my niece and decided that I would like to make some cute pillow covers for my grandboys. I even went to the fabric store and bought some material. Then I put it in a stack of other material, learned of a new baby arriving in the fall, and got sidetracked making another quilt. So this week, with little else to do, I came across that cute fabric behind my sewing machine and got myself all geared up to make the cases.

Even though one has dots and the other has stripes, these cuties are interchangeable as far as boys are concerned. Among the many items of interest in their playroom, trucks still remain high on the list.

It seems that with every pillow cover I make (without a pattern), the dimensions get a little larger! What started out as a cover for a 12 x 16 inch pillow has now evolved into a much larger case! I had a very flat, squashed down feather pillow from long ago and scrunched it into the striped case. It works perfectly, so now I need Meredith to look for another old, flat pillow for the dots.

And yes, those are pockets on the front. Who knows what three and five year old boys will put in them! That's just one more thing for Mom to check on at bedtime. *he he*
