Sew Much Fun!

Friday I had a chance to go to my friend, Lisa's house. She taught me how to use a sewing machine.

I have NEVER EVER used a sewing machine and to be quite honest they gave me anxiety.

Lisa calmed my nerves and slowly taught me what did what and how to do the basics.

After a few basics we started on a toddler pillowcase.

I have been wanting another pillowcase for Jace's little pillow.

This pillow was for his bed at home but I decided to switch him to a big pillow and send his little one to daycare for naps.

We made this pillowcase with French seams. So its all clean and nicely put together.

I was so impressed with how well it came out.

Bonus is that I LOVED sewing! I think I can really get into it.  

I chose this pattern for his pillowcase. It is SUPER cute!!

The blue will be the trim and the red is for the cuff.

This is for me mommy?!?

I LOVE IT! Can I wear it?

Justin and I have been looking into getting another vehicle.

A 2 door car just isn't family friendly and we eventually will want more children so while we can do it we went ahead and found a great deal on a Ford Expedition.

Friday night we went to pick it up!

As JB would say Its Clean on the outside, Cream on the inside.

The paperwork took WAY longer than expected. We ended up eating dinner at 59 Diner.

Daddy and Jace getting ready for a yummy burger!

Yesterday Jace was scheduled for a 23 hour EEG.

We checked in at 8 am and by 9:30 he was hooked up to the EEG.

Even though the hook up was not too smooth, once that was over he seemed to pick back up.

Smiley Scuba boy!

Coloring to pass the time........

Dinner time - Grilled Cheese and French Fries

Despite not having much room to REALLY get all his energy out he still crashed at 7:30!

He slept pretty well. He was up and down a few times until midnight.

After that he stayed sound asleep until about 5:30. It was WAY better than I thought it would have been.

We checked out this morning at 8:30. Jace and I were SO excited to see Justin come to get us and leave!

The worst part of the EEG is this mess left in Jace's hair!

We are learning the tricks to getting it out quicker though.

We put baby oil in his hair, let it soak in, comb it and wash it.

It takes a few combing and some time but it comes out.

Justin sat in the tub with Jace and worked on washing and getting oil into his hair.

He really was able to get the glue loosened up.

I was able to get the comb though Jace's hair while he ate pudding at snack and then again after dinner when he ate some ice cream. I got all the glue out of his hair! Well there are a few flakes but there are none stuck to his scalp.

From what we understand the EEG will be read this week and we will know something by next week.

I don't expect result too quickly but I may be pleasantly surprised.
