Today I Felt Like Super Mom...

...even though I'm not even a mom. :)

Scott brought his girls over this morning so he could go to a meeting, and Aimree (9) was stressed because she couldn't find her shirt for church! I was working on a lesson for Relief Society, but since church doesn't start until 1 p.m. I knew I had time to come to the rescue.

It's times like these when I'm especially grateful for my excessively large fabric stash.

I used the t-shirt Aimree wore yesterday as a pattern and whipped up this cute tee (cutie?):







She loved it, and it went great with the skirt she and I made a few weeks ago.

The best part? It only took about 30 minutes. I had to ask the girls to do their own hair, but I was able to finish my lesson and get to church on time -- makeup on and everything. :)

Giant Chess

Last weekend Andi and Steven were here, so we went to the Scera to play giant chess. There's a huge "chess board" on the south side of the theater, and you can check out the giant pieces from the concessions stand for free, as long as you get there before 9:00 p.m. (Maybe I shouldn't be telling you all this; I don't want it to get too crowded over there!) Steven and Scott were, of course, the strategists. Andi and I mostly just had fun moving the pieces and making strange noises, and admiring our dudes' sexy intellectualism. The Jakemans ultimately won...but that's the most fun I've had losing in a long time!
