Easter Skirts

I haven't blogged for awhile.  Mostly because it has been the same old stuff.  And I think I am suffering from the I-want-it-to-be-spring-for-real-syndrome and I have just been itching to get outside. Today I decided to escape from my sugared up kids for a minute to finally get some pictures up on my blog.  The kids, of course, got Easter baskets this morning.  Adele was a bit confused about the ownership of the baskets and assumed that 2 of the baskets were for her.  So she ate all the candy in HER basket and the one for Kent and me.  I am just waiting for the sugar crash to hit.   She was funny though after we told her we were sad that she ate all our candy.  She said, "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings you two.  I just needed candy." 

Remember how I went on a fabric shopping spree on my birthday and I showed you the fabric I bought? I said you'd see it again, and here it is.  I have been working hard on getting these skirts and shirts done for Easter. I was finishing up the aplique and stitching last night. Doing the aplique was part of the original plan but Elise's shirt had ruffles and Emilia's had a pocket.   I thought it might look funny to have the aplique on there with the other stuff so I changed my mind. Then yesterday I decided to do it afterall and I am really happy how they turned out.  I didn't make Adele's shirt. I found the perfectly matching shirt at Wally-Marty for her.

Don't worry, I will take pictures of the girls when we get dressed up for church and post them later.  I thought about making a matching tie for Ian but Ian doesn't really wear ties.  When he is older I will make him but for now he hates them and usually refuses to wear them.  So I got him a BYU hat so he wouldn't feel left out.  Ya just have to go with the flow.
