Tying One On

The Chipster had his first soccer practice on Tuesday. He already knows several of his teammates, and we also know his coach and think she's the greatest, so this promises to be a great season!

Dirty face = sign of a good practice:

To get a little more comfortable with sewing before I start G's Halloween costume, I made myself an apron this week. I think it turned out great, despite a near-disaster yesterday involving a dirty iron and the very last piece of my garment. My little man cheered me up, telling me I was right to be angry and that it still looked good and anyway nobody would notice - when did he turn 35? - but I kept that messed up piece and now it's done!
