Soup - er Saturday

So my new ward is holding a Soup - er Saturday. They will be holding a handful of different mini classes and then having soup for lunch. One of the classes they are going to have How to Make a Baby Sling, I thought "what perfect timing". And guess who they asked to teach it? You guessed it and probably are thinking exactly what I thought, "Me?".

This is where I am wishing our original move date had stuck and I was able to make it to the Fabulous Friday they had for my ward in Gilroy. They were having a lot of the same classes including the nursing cover and baby sling class that I had signed up to attend. Oh well, Some times we are asked to do things because it is something we need to grow from. Maybe I will become a fabulous sewer out of this experience. Watch out Jessica and Cassy! :o)

So ever since being asked to teach the class I have a few things on my to do list that I need to get done. Find my sewing machine in storage. Ummm. Find any of my sewing supplies in storage. Ummm. Order the aluminum rings needed to make the baby slings. Check. Find the perfect material to make the baby sling. Check. Well, at least I am half way there.

Last night my sister, Caeden and mom met Payton and I at the fabric store. I probably should have waited to go with Payton being sick and all but she had been so happy and energetic the whole day. Let me just say I am glad my mother was there to help me watch Payton. It is impossible to watch a running toddler while trying to find the perfect fabric combinations. The good news is I found fabric I am happy with. I was going to take a picture of it and put it in this post but there is a sleeping baby in my room and I do not want to disturb.

Payton is about the same, happy with a touch of super sad. She switches back and forth with out any notice. Her bubba and binki have been her constant companions today. I have resigned to the fact that we will be home bound for at least a couple more days. According to the doctor she doesn't exhibit the symptoms that make her contagious but she probably isn't feeling all that great either.

Since posts are always better with photos, I am including a few from last weekend when we (my mom, Caeden, Payton, and I) prepared for our friend Johnny's annual Halloween Party's Pumpkin Carving contest by pregutting the pumpkin. I thought the girls would be totally into it. It turns out that they really don't like to get dirty. LOL
