Last weekend (19th-21st) Scotty and I went to Gilbert to watch Derrick's little brother and sister while his mom went to a wedding. Scotty's grandma was so nice to him and gave him this "so cool" hat. Scotty had fun dressing up and playing "superheros" with it all weekend. Since the hat is a Trojan hat AND is USC colors, since we've been home, Derrick has taught Scotty to do the USC fight song while making the "V for victory" sign with his fingers. They have a lot of fun with that one.
While we were there, Scotty was able to get his dog fix. He LOVES playing with Bella. I'm sure Bella was glad to have a break when we left. Scotty loved tackling and wrestling her, lining up all the toys around her, and his favorite...............making her get in her cage and then crawling in with her. Scotty and Bella spent a lot of time either playing in the cage or snuggling on Bella's doggy bed.
Scotty also got to spend time with Cierra and Kerry. They were off playing with friends or doing chores a lot of the time but Scotty did get to play with them a little. Cierra and Kerry are both really good about playing with Scotty and trying to entertain him. Here's a pic of Cierra and Scotty having some pre-bedtime fun!
Over the weekend, I had a few close calls with anxiety attacks. While I was there, I was doing a lot of sewing. The tension on my sewing machine kept messing up. I was making the below apron and I kept having to re-do things over and over because of my machine. It probably took me AT LEAST 3 times the amount of time it should have taken. So, between being pissed at my machine, the kids sneaking, lying, etc, and Scotty constantly going out the doggy door and throwing the dog food all over the kitchen, I was on the verge of a break down.
So, to make it all better, on my way out of town, I stopped and purchased this:
A new sewing machine............AND it's an electronic one with a drop in bobbin. I'm so excited and so far, it has treated me perfectly!! If I hadn't had the problems with my machine, it would have been so much easier to deal with all of those other things (at least, that's what I keep telling my self!)

Yeah for you! I would love to have one. I keep borrowing my Mom's.
I will still do a party for you when you are ready! If that is even what you want to do.
I love the picture of Scotty in the dog cage! Congrats on the new sewing machine. I love the apron and can't wait to show everyone on Thursday. Thanks again!
YAY for the new sewing machine! One of these days in the distant future I want a machine that has all the goods. Awesome!
Scotty is such a character! Funny kiddo.
