Block #1

I started a new group this last week, I am really excited about. It is a Block of the Month Club. Each month we make a new quilt block and at the end of twelve months we will have a completed quilt! I have never quilted so this will be a new experience for me and  I cant wait to feel that satisfaction of completing something new. It is a rag quilt, after it is all put together and it is washed for the first time all of the edges will fray, it is so cute I am so excited! Here is my first block...

Update...

My bad! I guess that Mikie knew all along that it was a Sadies invitation! Jenni woke up to the dogs barking and sat in the front room and watched them saran wrap Mikie's truck! She thought it was pretty funny that when she flicked the porch light off and on that they all scattered pretty fast! Mikie said that they had woke him up as well but he wasn't about to interrupt their plans, and needless to say he was a little upset that Jenni almost interfered!

He has been thinking up some pretty creative ways of answering her, I will let you know what he decides to do...

Well it happened...

Mikie has been patiently waiting to be asked to Sadie's. He woke us up this morning at 3:30, (as he was leaving for his FFA trip to Snow's College) saying, "She did it again!"

Several weeks ago on a Sunday night, George and I were up later than normal and as I walked down the hall towards my room I caught movement in the front yard out of the corner of my eye. I went & looked out the window and there were several figures huddling around Mikie's truck. I couldn't figure out what they were doing, but I could tell it was kids. I went to Mikie's room and he was still awake so I told him that there was someone messing with his truck, he hopped up and was going to run outside, thankfully the door was locked & that stopped him. They had heard the noise from the door and all took off running. After a few minutes they came back and we just watched them for a few minutes. Mikie was sure that it was a someone asking him to go to Sadie's with them. He got up the next morning and went out to check it out... Saran Wrap everywhere, but No dance invitation. Needless to say he was disappointed, and when he found out that it was just a few friends that were bored he just shook his head. George was trying to get a little rivalry going, but Mikie said no.

I think he changed his mind on that this morning, however as soon as he realizes that it wasn't just bored friends and there is a Sadie's invitation connected to the Saran Wrapped truck, he will change his mind once again. Thinking that it was the same friends as last time he didn't give it a second thought and go check things out. He wasn't planning on driving today anyway, because he was low on gas. I had told him that he could take my van and if I needed it I would have George run me over to get it. (I didn't want to wake up at 3:30 am!!! Although I did anyway, but I didn't have to get out of bed so as Martha Stewart would say, "that is a good thing".) I thought about texting him and telling him that it was a Sadies invite, but then  thought No I don't want him to be distracted during his competition. Knowing Mikie that would be the only think that would be on his mind for the rest of the day! (all of those kids on the bus with him owe me BIG TIME!!! He would be driving every one crazy!!)

I couldn't figure out who it was, so I went to Mikie's Face Book wall and looked up his friends list... Now I know! But I will keep that to myself until he actually finds out  that he has been invited! :)

Next up, what will he come up with to answer....
