yesterday she worked on making a quilt. she is amazing. she found some quilting fabric i had been given and decided to make a quilt. ryan helped her sew the pieces together and then she and i went to the store to find a piece of fabric for the back. she was so excited to work on it! she's almost finished and wants to do some tying as well. the difficult part of the day came a little while later, when i tried to help her with her homework. she was not very happy about doing math and let me know it! then ryan came home and tried to help her. still not too happy. over dinner, we heard a sad story about how she wasn't able to write her sentences fast enough and everyone was going on without her. we tried to console her but to little effect. after dinner we headed to cold stone to drown our sorrows in sweet cream.
on the way home, we had a few sassy moments and had to have a little, sad talk about being respectful and kind, etc. no one was very happy, but we ended the night with a story and loves and kisses.
when i woke up this morning, this is what i found magnetized to my bedside lamp...
is that the sweetest thing you've ever seen? i love my sweetheart and hope she is having a better day today. hopefully she will be excited about her after school snack...earth balls! you can see the recipe on my recipe blog.

Oh, soo sad, yet so cute. These are the moments to remember - sad but true, and oh so cute! Hopefully she will remember your love and NOT that sentences or math were a challenge (sounds like she is going to design school ANYWAY! Who needs MATH??)
Ice cream solves everything!!
I'm sorry you cutie Afton, things will get better, that note did melt me. I am very impressed with her sewing skills, she's a lot better than me. I do know how to tie if you need me...
Oh, my Aftie girl- I love you soooo much. What a good influence you will be on so many. You have the sweetest heart. Also, I'm so proud you're learning to sew---keep encouraging that mother of yours. HEE HEE
