After making a few lil' girl sewing projects, CJ insisted that I make him something. So, I took him to the store and he chose this Buzz Lightyear fabric. I bought enough to make a pair for each one. After making the pants, CJ asked me, "But Mom, where is the Buzz shirt?" I had not planned on making a shirt, and I think by now they are satisfied with the white t-shirts. If anything is for certain, we will definitely test out the durability of my sewing projects. I don't think they have missed one night of wearing them for over a month now! (Don't worry, I have washed them in the day time ;)

Our lil' Farmer

CJ is the farmer in the family. Over the past two months or so he has worked to earn money from his grandparents and spent his money on trees, plants, and seeds. He first purchased two blueberry bushes. After that the fever burned to plant more and he bought two fig trees and a pear tree. I find it funny that he wants to do all of this himself- no prompting by anyone. About the time I thought he was satisfied with what he had, our cousin called with some fresh tomato plants for him- 8 to be exact! Then it all started up again. He planted those, and then on two separate occasions bought a pack of watermelon seed and pumpkin seed. At that point I had to break the news to him that our yard could hold no more plants or we wouldn't have room to play :)
That's when Grandpa saved the day and allowed him to plant the pumpkins and watermelon in his garden. He is quite thrilled about all of his lil' projects, and is faithful to water them EVERY day. We couldn't forget if we wanted to!
