What a Weekend

Well, I guess our little story begins when Travis called and needed AJ's help to move a dishwasher. We went over there and did that. While AJ was in the midst of that, he got a phone call reminding him that he'd volunteered to help with security that night. The school district here has a night up at the university museum that kids 8-10(ish) can go and spend the night in the museum. This year they had a science theme. A physics professor did a demonstration of some cool science experiements and such. They then split into groups and went to different departments and learned about jobs and such. AJ was a little disappointed he got stuck in the Physician's Assistant group and not with the guys doing a laser presentation.

So, while AJ spent friday night at the museum guarding little kidlets, I was determined to get a good portion of my next project done: making a baby quilt. I found a quilt panel that I absolutely adore and some flannel to back it with. I ended up spending more on it than originally planned, but I am a lot happier with the way it's turning out than one that we found already prequilted at the store. I spent hours and hours bent over this quilt cutting the batting to fit, measuring out the ties and marking them and then actually tying it. All without quilting frames! Ahh. Needless to say, I was pretty sore the next day... and even more so the day after. So much I couldn't even get out of bed! Ah, but I convinced AJ he should rub my back to help with the soreness and stiffness. And it did. He's such a stud. There will be more to come on the quilt... but it's not finished yet.

So, it has finally started to warm up a little here (actually the last few days have been absolutely gorgeous, i'm just afraid to jinx it). We decided that the nice weather wasn't something we could pass up. We headed to the park, met some friends and played some disc golf. Well, they played and I walked the course with them. I'm awful at throwing a frisbee of any shape or size and with as sore as I was from being bent over that quilt the entire night before (it really was all night, I didn't go to bed til about 6am) I decided it would be better for all involved if I just observed. However, I was able to get some neat shots of AJ and his mad skills. =]

Here's to hoping the weather stays gorgeous!
