Just a few things I love!

Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving we spent 3 days in Tucson. The entire Sykes family attended.

Thursday - Ate a terrific dinner from Marie Calendars. Sunshine did all the preparations and made the pie and sweet potatoes. Ginger made some stuffing and I made broccoli salad. We took all 5 dogs on a walk. Then we spent the rest of the evening playing Rock Band, Funglish and Wits adn Wagers.

Friday - Went to Target. Ate left overs. Went to the park. Napped. Played Rock Band, Scrabble, and Pictionary.

Saturday - Rented a 15 passenger van. Went on a trip to the Chiricahua National Monument and did the Echo Canyon Hike. It was windy and cold. But a beautiful hike. Ate dinner at Olive Garden. Played Rock Band and Carcasonne.

It was 3 days of complete Chaos. There were 15 people sleeping in a 3 bedroom house and 5 dogs. There were multiple melt downs and fights among children and adults. I think it was one of the best Thanksgivings yet!

Sewing For Charlotte

All of these outfits are too big! I hate that patterns are so bad at sizing. Charlotte is still wearing 12 month clothes so it is frustrating when nothing I make fits her.


Boutique style

Wide leg pants will be great to play in!

This dress will look spectacular with black leggings.

This jumper is going to be so cute with a pink shirt, tights and black shoes.

Arizona Museum for the Youth

This is my favorite picture from our visit to AMY, she loved this bed. She kept lying down in it and pretending to sleep.
