Welp, this was our 2nd trip on the train to Chicago to visit the American Girl Place, in a week!!!  Mom, Carsyn and I had planned this Valentine girls trip a loooong time ago!!  Then, a few weeks later, she got invited to a birthday party at AG a week before our trip!!  We decided to go ahead and do both trips!!  So much fun!  This time, we made a stop by Sprinkles Cupcakes....yum, ate at The Cheesecake Factory....Yum, then met with a personal shopper and had a great time at American Girl Place!!!  It was a wonderful day!

Another field trip for God's Garden Pre-K classes!!  This time, Funks Grove. They learned about maple syrup, and had time to explore and play. Kannon was a bit freaked out and scared because of the "forest".  They let the kids help tap a tree for sap.  Once he realized the tree wasn't going to fall over, and there weren't any loud noises going to happen, he was OK!!

Soooo, today I completed my very first sewing project!!!  I bought a sewing machine after Christmas, and I've never sewn before!!  I take that back, I think we had a few weeks of sewing in 7th grade home-ex class!!  Other than that, no sewing experience at all!!  Just something I wanted to try! :)  Anyway, I was super duper excited when I finally finished something all by myself, from start to finish!!  Isn't this cute????  It's a little flannel blanket for an American Girl Doll!  I thought it would be a perfect gift for my daughters friend, who's b-day we're celebrating tomorrow, in Chicago, at American Girl Place.....right???  WRONG!!!!  I took the blanket with me to pick the kids up from school, yes, I was that excited to show it to my daughter!!  When she got in the car, this is how to conversation went...
Me- LOOK CARSYN!!!!!!  I made a blanket for you to give Jaycie for her b-day!!!!!!!  :) :)  :)  :)
Carsyn-  Really mom?  A piece of fabric?  Can't we just get her a book?

Sigh......  I was even all fancy with the blanket stitch and everything!!!

So, we got Jaycie the book, and now Carsyns dolls have the "piece of fabric"!!!

My baby loves his monster trucks!!  Tonight all my boys are going to Monster Jam in Peoria!!!  They've been before, last year, and actually that's when Kannons love of Monster trucks began!  All he remembers though, is how loud it was!!   He's a little nervous to go again, even though we've assured him he'll have ear plugs and it won't be too loud!!  He keeps saying "I'll only go if you give me a twenty buck"!!  He's so stinkin' cute!!! :)
