We started looking at what we had at home and bought a few things from Goodwill which could 'work.' For Jonah though we ended up finding the pilgrim costume on ebay and it was cheaper than what we had already purchased. We returned our items and bought the ebay costume. It was just easier at that point for this pregnant mama. :) <br />For Lily, we had some items, but then the director looked through the costume storage from the homeschool group's past plays. She found the blouse and skirt and they worked perfectly! I wish I could post (don't want to due to privacy) the whole cast's costumes. Those moms pulled together/whipped up some amazingly accurate historical costumes!! <br />They are talking about doing another short play in the fall and every other year the group does a big one in the spring. Currently Les Miserables is being rewritten for the group to perform next spring. Lily esp is eager to try out :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338548322518010022.post-32160684591432719912015-04-28T21:42:38.848-05:002015-04-28T21:42:38.848-05:00"I get it now why I'm a 'girl mom'... "I get it now why I'm a 'girl mom' and wasn't blessed with a treasure trove of boys." Not that ya don't love 'em, but they are busy. And loud. And slightly destructive.<br /><br />I hear 'ya sister!!! LOL<br /><br />The play sounds fantastic, and I am thrilled it was such a success! I knew it would be. The costumes, did you have to pull them together, or were they provided. They look perfect for the part. <br /><br />I'm glad Jonah had the boy time. He had the perfect party! <br /><br />Hugs and kisses to you all!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651016998027244516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338548322518010022.post-26966660248667775762015-04-27T12:46:17.468-05:002015-04-27T12:46:17.468-05:00It's a funny thing, isn't it? I keep sayin...It's a funny thing, isn't it? I keep saying that with Jonah we have to be so intentional about getting him around other boys because he really does not know how to be a 'boy'. Not that he's girly, he's just not rough and tough. We are outdoor people, but maybe not so much outdoorsy if that makes sense. Camping, probably not. Hiking, biking, being outside and being active...absolutely! I don't like to be in a store or shopping either, but heck, on Saturday even battling the annoying Walmart shoppers was appealing. It may have had something to do with getting away for a little bit, plus my little companion-helper. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338548322518010022.post-75510148172645770022015-04-27T12:35:06.964-05:002015-04-27T12:35:06.964-05:00Interesting!

Please do not make me play with stuffed animals and barbie dolls. I can do only so many tea parties and dress ups. I am more of someone who wants to play ball...any kind of ball game...anything outside. Last place I want to be is at a store. I love the great outdoors camping. Not a hotel. Hotels are nice...dont get me wrong...but boring. The boys love to hike and get dirty. We are blessed with the children we get.

And Reed just said "our house wouldn't have held up this long with more boys." lol. You totally rock the boy mom thing and I didn't think your boys were like crazy wild at all.

That's all I know, and maybe that's why I think I could never do arts & Crafts or homeschool - because nobody sits still!

I started out with birthday cake...I hear you, Kari. I started out with birthday cakes perhaps too ambitiously and have had to scale back just due to lack of time to work on them. I've had to start asking the kids to make their 'dream cake' each birthday a little less 'dreamy'. lol.<br />Due date buddies and close pregnancies are the best! It's fun to stay connected and keep a close eye on how one another are doing. I hope you are feeling well enough and surviving your pregnancy too.

It sure helps to lighten the load esp when I get a little overwhelmed. Now that the weekend is in the rearview it's easier to see how fun it was for the kids and worth the effort.

Lately I buy a cake for their party with family because I find it too stressful to bake and decorate a cake while taking care of all the little ones and wanting it to look nice for everyone. <br /><br /> I'm having my 20 week ultrasound next Tuesday. I think it's so neat our pregnancies are so close!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208276783281736857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338548322518010022.post-41368697771357142752015-04-27T07:52:09.288-05:002015-04-27T07:52:09.288-05:00Love sharing your weekend, Sarah!
