Still working...

Monday, April 28, 2008
UPDATED: Thank you for the sweet messages of concern. Luckily, we were not hit by those tornadoes! The adorable bathing suit is by Kate Mack and it is sold many places on-line. You can google "Kate Mack tutu swimsuit." Chasing Fireflies has it but it is slightly back ordered.


I have been very productive thus far but I still have a lot to do! I am getting the porch and deck ready for summer, planning our summer vacations, sending out Mother's Day cards to Moms, Grandmoms and Godmothers, sending out quilt squares, deciding on summer camps for the boys, interviewing babysitters, cleaning closets and giving away toys and clothes the boys have outgrown, etc. PHEW!

I have made a lot of progress in planning Kate Emerson's 2nd birthday party. She will have be having a simple splash party in the backyard with a wading pool, ladybug sprinkler (Target), sand and water play table, bubbles and cupcakes!

Here is a sneak peek at the invitations, bathing suit and cupcakes. I am sure I will change my mind on the cupcakes a few times but the bathing suit and the invitations have already been ordered:)

PLEASE keep Kate Emerson (and her slightly worried Mommy) in your prayers this week. Her EEG is Thursday morning. Thank you.

If I owe you a quilt square or you would like one from me, e-mail me (through the profile) and I will send one out this week.

  10. OK, Kim....Just today I was telling someone how I love your blog but because you live in a warmer climate, I keep seeing Meg's wardrobe on Kate first (this statement was inspired by the patchwork GAP dress that Meg received for her 2nd birthday in January from Ella but hasn't had the opportunity to wear)! Today I had to laugh. Of course, I bought the tutu bathing suit months ago. Someday we will have to make a photo collage of the girls together in all of their matching gear! I LOVE your birthday theme and look forward to the birthday photos! PS Thanks for the "to do" list--I think I will just print it and start going on it myself! Lots of Love from NY!

  28. Oh, that is just the cutest bathing suit ... please share where you found it! The party sounds delightful, and the cupcakes are gorgeous - - I think cupcakes are just so perfect for a little girl's birthday! Can't wait to see photos!

  29. Kim! I so get the not parting with Kate's clothes! I could not do it with Jane 's either. i trried several times and even asked my SWI group if they had trouble selling the clothes from their children. This did not happen with my other kiddos. I think it is partly the history somehow, you have created in how you cherish your sweet girl and these were the things you bought to begin to show her// I do not know, but that is partly what I thought. So many of Jane's clothes just brought back how tiny she was, how precious to me she is! How did so much time pass already that she can't wear those things?

    Hope the party is lovely and I look forward to the picts!

  30. What a beatiful suit...would you mind telling where you have bought it? ( if is an online shop...I think it would be impossible for me to go to buy it in USA ;)

    And the invitations are soooooo nice tooo

    I will have Kate in my prayers.

    Love,

    Belén.

  31. Cute bathing suits, invitations, and cupcakes! Looks like a fun day will be had! I'd love to know your cupcake secrets and where that bathing suit is from.

    My son Garrison has had a couple EEG's. I'll be praying that they capture JUST what they need for the right diagnosis!!

    Blessings,
    Jenn

  32. Kim,

    I admired that very suit!! The invitations are fabulous, but I would expect no less from you! I adore cupcakes in any way shape or form! Martha just did a whole week about cupcakes on her show...I can't wait to try some of her winning recipes.

    I was recently thinking about little Kate and I will certainly keep you all in my prayers this week.

    Good work on the tasks accomplished! You are an inspiration!!

    Kate

  33. All the things for Kate's birthday look beautiful! I love the suit.

    Good luck with the EEG. Emma actually had one in China and it went really well even in the chaotic Chinese hospital in Guangzhou. She slept through the whole thing. I think the hardest part was waiting around for her to fall asleep so they could do it! I hope things go just as well for all of you on Thursday. I'll be thinking of you.

  37. Absolutely precious!
    I just wanted to check in on all of you...after the strong storms/tornadoes that were in Va last night...I was concerned!
    I pray all of you are safe and unaffected by them!
    I will be in prayer about Miss Kate's Test on Thursday!
    Hugs & Love,
    Denise

  38. Is it wrong to buy a bathing suit for a little girl that I don't have....? That's adorable.

    Whew! You have been busy...those are all the things I should be doing! With a new puppy in the house I am sooo far behind!
    Kate's suit is adorable! I love simple backyard birthday parties. My kids are all summer birthdays and I have always had backyard parties for them. Oh, how I would love to have those cupcakes for Faith's birthday, but the latest is she has informed me that she wants to have a "bug party!" And I was hoping for a girly tea party! lol!Enjoy planning Kate's day!
