Out of the Mouths of Babes

Earlier Cody went to get me a blizzard (I'm such a spoiled shit, but that's a blog for another time), but he only got one because he thought E would be asleep by the time he got home.
Well, when he walked in E automatically thought the ice cream was for him. He pouted and whined the whole time I ate it, even going so far as to tell me that it was for boys because there was a picture of a guy on the cup.
I was a nice mommy, though, and saved him a few bites at the end. (I also kept offering him bites while I was eating) when he was done he handed me the cup, and I started whining that he ate my ice cream just to mess with him. You know what that turd said to me..."What?? I was hungry!!"
Where does he come up with this stuff??? He's way too smart for a 3 yr old.

Sewing Fail

So awhile back I had this BRILLIANT idea that I was going to sew Aubrey's clothes so that she could have tons of adorable outfits at a fraction of the cost. I got the patterns, the material, the sewing machine, I was ready to go. WRONG! Apparently sewing is easier said than done. DAMN!
I was having a smart day and decided I needed to practice on scrap material before I jumped right in. Good thing I was using my noggin. Something went way wrong and the thread broke. Yes, B.R.O.K.E. No, I don't know why. Of course, that could be because I had NO. IDEA. WHAT. I. WAS. DOING.
Think I might just file this one in the FAIL folder and find a seamstress. What am I going to do about the stuff I bought to sew burp rags and things for my cousin's baby?? Maybe I can do applique on the onesies...how do you do that???
**Side-note: my MIL thought it was such a great idea. She told me I could even make Ethan's clothes. Ummm, no. Frilly little girl outfits=cute, boys t-shirts=not so much.
