Well I finally did it. I broke down and got out my sewing machine and actually MADE something with it! I made our Chinese Crested 2 pairs of pajama’s! One is like a flannel and other is of blue fur. Surprisingly they fit! A great lady i met on the forums online sent me a pattern and tutorial on how to do it and I stayed up all night few nights ago and got it done. Then next day I cut out another and got it done as well. Took me about 4 hrs all in all but wasnt to bad. I just amazed that I actually did it lol. Its not as perfect as a store bought stuff but Im sure when I do more and get more practice I will get the hang of it.

I also ordered another pattern to make just like a jacket for him. Looking online I’ve found a bunch of different stuff that I want to try and see if I can do it. I am just shocked that I actually was able to do it. Im so proud of myself and I hope that I can get the hang of it so that I can make many other stuff as well. Who knows maybe ill start making paul some jeans as he cant seem to find any that fit his skinny butt lol.

Well Saturday we took paul to the Threshing Days over in Brandenburg’s fair grounds. Ran into friend of ours and he hung out with us throughout the day. Him and paul did alot of the games and had a great day. Paul did great at the games both friday and saturday. He won 3rd in the pedal pull on friday and 2nd on saturday. I won 3rd on the wrench throwing contest. Paul road the train a bunch of times he had great time on them with bradly.

Well after the games were all done we went to leave but noticed a big cloud down the street so we went down to see what was going on and the Save-a-lot shopping center that been there since the 60′s was on fire. It started down at the smoke shop and went all the way down. It was a total loss. Hard to believe its gone. Paul was all upset as he thought would be no more chicken nuggets lol.

Well we all went out kayaking saturday. That was an adventure! We even took Kay-ak with us. She did pretty well considering it was her first trip out other then on a pond. She got a bit nervous on the faster water but all in all she did better then I expected. Was a big group that went and was pretty nice. Think we all went swimming at least once lol. Paul wasnt happy about that though. Was a 12 mile paddle and I tell ya I am still sore but not as bad as I was truely expecting. Slept with an ice pack first night or two and wasnt so bad.

Well Paul woke me up nice and early Sunday morning to give me my mothers day card he made me in school. It was very sweet. He was very proud of himself for making it.

We decided to go kayaking with Kay-ak down at the water retention pond and see how she did her first time out in the kayak. She done pretty well for the most part. Her and Joe did end up flipping over in the middle and had to tow them to shore but, not exactly sure what happened to make them flip. Was quite comical to see though. Ended up putting her in the boat with me for a bit she did pretty well as there is more room for her to lay down in mine so think that was a good thing. Paul got to paddle around for a bit as well but mostly we hooked him on the back of our boat and pulled him around. Was alot of fun though.

Seen some really pretty cranes and a beaver damn and just had a nice relaxing day. We all got a bit sumburned though so think next time we need to remember to put some sunblock on as we are all paying for it afterwards. Even joe got sunburned! lol. I somehow bruised my leg without knowing it and boy does it hurt. I will probably be limping for a few days with this.

Well we went to the truck show yesterday. Got up early and went and got breakfast and was at the fairgrounds around 9ish when it opened up. Paul had a great time looking at all the cool trucks and getting all the free stuff. Somehow I ended u carrying it all… lol. We got his photos with some of the girls and one of the guys that we had last year. Didnt see anyone famous there this year like in the past but we went the last day so probably missed them. Paul got to take photos with our old digi, he had great time taking photos. Said when asked what he was taking photos of he was like “Im taking photos for my telephone papaw!” was to cute. No clue what all they are going to turn out to be though lol.
