This has been a busy month for the little craft elves at the Gardners. Treat making. Dance recital. Family dinner. More treats. Christmas crafts. Gingerbread House Family Home Evening. Sewing. More Sewing. Bickering children bored from being out of school but high on sugar and nowhere to burn it off because mommy's busy with the trimmings and trappings of the season. In the words of Fab AmyRae (in a sing-song Texan accent) "Happy Holidays...."
Happy indeed.
Speaking of happy...Hannah did a wonderful thing the other day. Most of the pictures that we've taken lately have been with her digital camera. I have a memory card and she has memory card. Well, I don't always check the card to see who's is in there at the moment. I just snap away. Life doesn't always wait for that sort of thing. Anyways, the other night Hannah decided to delete ALL the pictures that were on her card so she could free up space to make silly movies.
Guess what was on her card.
Violet's whole life!!!
Granted, we do have most of the pics stored on the computer, but all the recent ones are now gone. A cute video of her giggling=gone. Her first taste of rice cereal=gone.
I was so mad! I told Hannah that she had erased her little baby sister's life.
Then she cried.
Then I felt bad and had to tell her it was alright.
Dagnabbit.
In happier news: I remembered to pay the gas bill before it got shut off. And I made Grace and Violet's dresses in the nick of time. I spent all afternoon and evening of Saturday working on those darn things. Then at 10:30 at night I made the cutest little slipper shoes out of the same silk fabric for Violet. Did I take pictures? No. I'll take them this Sunday. Hannah was feeling a little jealous about not having a new dress, so guess what I'm doing today?
"Happy Holidays..."
