The Quilt

Mariah finally got to give her birthday present to her best friend - The Quilt!

The party was this weekend and Mariah got to go see Mamma Mia at TPAC and stay out until midnight. What a great time she had!!!

Here it is! She worked on it with Grammy. The squares were made out of Grammy's scraps. The borders and fuzzy reverse side materials we purchased. It was a fun project for them. Grammy even made Mariah a purse out of the leftover border material and some of the fuzzy stuff! I guess if Leia needs a blankie moment at school she can come hug Mariah's purse!



Today we have no school. Nobody really knows why because I didn't put it on the calendar. Probably some Professional Development Day. It's one of those "Don't Ask Too Many Questions" things. We all just slept in and took it at face value when we got the word last week that Monday was no school. Yippeee!

But the bad news is I scheduled dentist appointments for Gib and Mariah to get some cavities taken care of. Unfortunately, I did something I've never done before...EVER. I somehow forgot their 6 month checkup. So they went an entire YEAR without seeing the dentist and reality bit us on the rear when they went in. A couple cavities for Gib; four for poor Mariah. UGH!!! I can't remember the last time anyone had a cavity. So this week is cavity filling week. Today and again Thursday I think. And the bill for that?! Double UGH.

Hey, maybe Mariah might be the one hugging that purse!
