Gianna is also in love with the babes. She just admires them as they jump all around. They are so fragile you really have to watch kids as they can crush them easily. She loves the bunnies, hates our horse. lol

Bunnies!
We've had a steady flow of baby bunnies arriving at our house the past month or so. Our kids are so very excited to take them to the County Fair and State Fair this year, lets just hope they don't end up last summer, we had 4 get heatstroke and die. :( So far we are up to 8 that look showable, 1 looks to be a pet because of a lack of markings, and we have 1 more litter will be born the beginning of May. It's been alot of fun around here cuddling with all these sweet little ones. We've had several friends bringing kids by to pet and another friend of mine even used our rabbits for her Photography Easter sessions.

Since Gianna is getting a bit older, I'm finding it easier to run away to my sewing machine or to workout FINALLY. I'm still breastfeeding her at 14 1/2 months but I'm hoping, HOPING someday soon I'll get her weaned. She likes bottles but loves mommy's chest too. lol
About two weeks ago, I was on my Google reader checking out blogs I frequent and stumbled upon this. I thought this was a gorgeous retro creation that I just HAD to make for my girls Easter baskets. I have a knack of reusing things so I found some of Gi's receiving blankets and decided to use them. I got started sewing, I'd sew so much, take a break, come back. All was going great till I came back after lunch to start again. One inch in my needle froze. It was knotted so I checked everything out, started again and it stopped exact same spot knotted underneath AGAIN. After having this happen another 10-15 times I gave up. I would try again each day as Easter approached I realized I was not going to get these pretty bunnies done for my girls baskets and was so sad. Easter came and went then hubby decided to take a look since I was requesting a new machine. Come to find out there was a monster who snuck down to my cool cockpit of knobs and buttons and turned the thread tension too low making it knot like crazy. Pretty sure we can say it was Rocco. ;) After that was discovered I was able to get 1 bunny done. :)
I should have figured. I mean there isn't a thing in this house the kids haven't tried destroying or played with. Somedays they drive me bonkers because with 4 at home during the day, they've all got different agendas, plus I have my own with housework.
All has been going well here. We had Middle School Orientation the other day for our oldest. How did that happen???
