Bowling, Crafting and a Quiet House

What a combination.

Jacob left this morning. My house is quiet tonight.

I went bowling with some of the other FRG leaders in our BN last night... a team building exercise. We were all supposed to wear crazy hats and silly socks. See below:


Then we gave each other silly names on the scoreboard. Did you see my funky hat above? I got to be called Dora. ;)

And check out what Dora did:


I believe that is called a turkey! It was very exciting... I couldn't hardly believe it! And then this happened:

I can tell you right now, that was the best bowling game of my life. And I doubt I'll ever be able to repeat it.

In CraftyLand, I am going to a baby shower tomorrow. But I just learned about the shower yesterday, so I made this little critter this afternoon:

He's about eight inches long and as I was stuffing him I adding a few little jingle bells so he rattles sweetly. Lily gave him a test run for me and heartily approves.

And now that Lil is in her bigger car seat (did I tell you we got her a convertible car seat?) she gets irritated by the straps on her neck so I whipped out these velcroed strap covers this evening. I love being crafty. Recently Linda, dubbed me the Craft Maven and I have enthusiastically embraced the title. Though she's pretty darn crafty herself! Linda if you are out there... I'd like to commission a roll for my dpns.
