"Lorin, are you poopy?"
"No, I'm just farty."

I've been creating.
I announced before Christmas that I wanted to learn how to sew (since I spent my child/teenhood rebuffing my mother's attempts to teach me). Some wonderful people set me up with a stuffed-full sewing bag, a sewing machine, a gift certificate to here for lessons, and a mini here's-how-you-thread-a-machine-here's-a-bobbin-here's-how-you-sew-a-straight-line lesson (thanks, Mom - I think I listened better than before).
So my first lesson was last Tuesday, and I made a pillow - with a zipper and everything. I'm very proud of my ability to sew several straight lines.

What we've been doing lately...
(since it clearly hasn't been blogging):
-- We cheered on crazy family members as they ran half a marathon at Schnepf Farms
-- We went to the zoo approximately 1,257 times
-- After Mr. T and I fervently declared that we wouldn't bring treats, our Sunday School class - a dozen 13 and 14 year-olds - broke us in just over a month (and we teach every other week)
-- Lorin refused to look at the camera for a Valentine's Day photo
-- But she did organize an extended family "sleepover"
-- We went to the [brand name I forget] Jam Session that was part of the NBA All-Star Game festivities (we got some great pictures on Mr. T's iPhone, but I got tired of waiting for him to download them so I could write a funny post about our experience. Let's just say that Mr. T was the only person at whom the "Around the World" crowd actually laughed)
-- Lorin discovered Kung Fu Panda; the sentence "I want to watch panda" has been uttered at least once (or 200 times) a day since then
-- We played copious amounts of Guitar Hero now that the broken hand is officially not broken anymore
-- Lorin got into preschool, which means she has an August deadline for going in the potty (although I suggested that since it's only a couple of hours, we could just put her in a pull-up and pray)
