oh my!

Swimming suits are so much fun to make!

We were supposed to be in Branson today

whooping it up in the nice warm water

but

the hotel called us Tuesday evening

to say, "Sorry - water park will be closed 'for maintenance'"

which really just means

they weren't going to have enough guests

to make it worth opening today.

They aren't even going to give us any kind of a deal

for when we go in a few weeks.

Bummer!

But

looking at the bright side:

I got to try my hand a suit-sewing!

This little girl

has got to be

the very sweetest in the world!

mom:

(the not sweetest mom in the world!)

"Lily! You just spilled Mommy's pins!

You are not supposed to mess with Mommy's pins!"

"Momma, I know you're frustrated with me.

I'm sorry. I know I'm the one that spilled them.

I'll pick them all up."

"Thanks for my skirt, Mom."

"Well, Lily, it's not done yet - I still have to do the hem."

"Well, thank-you for it anyways."

If only I could be half as kind and loving as that girl....
