Me, The little seamstress?

Im not even sure that's how you spell seamstress but I have been sewing away! I have been looking for a halloween/fall/pumpkin shirt for Trigger for awhile now. I couldn't find one I liked. Almost all the boy shirts have skeletons, skulls, or bats on them...I'm just not a fan of dark things for children at Halloween...I like celebrating Fall! So...I got this idea that I would make Trigger a pumpkin shirt....then I got the idea that I would make pants to match...THEN I got the idea that i would make a fall/leaf outfit...and of course some matching pants. So this last week, after I would put Trigger down, I got busy cutting and sewing.
Everything turned out great...of course the first pants that I made took a little longer than they should because I had to redo a few things...Being a teacher, you would think that I would be good at following directions...NOT SO MUCH! Anyway, the two outfits are done and it was EASY so I'm excited to go get some Christmas fabric to make some outfits. I was a little worried about washing the pants...i thought they might fall apart but I've washed the halloween ones and they held up GREAT
Here is some pictures I took of Trigger this weekend in his Halloween outfit.!

I love this face...he does this all the time.

Trigger had just seen his first airplane in the sky and was pointing up.

After the plane sighting, he kepting reaching up to the sky at any noise that he heard outside.

Okay...so Trigger is suppose to be able to identify 3 body parts and he doesn't consistently identify one. We always ask him, "Trigger, where's your nose?" Today, he pointed to his ear...yes, he's confused...i just take comfort in knowing that he probably will learn them at some point...bc I haven't had a child come to me yet in Prek and not be able to identify their nose, ears, eyes, etc. So, for some reason, after he pointed to his ear, he started pulling it and then he would laugh...it was quite funny!

Happy Fall!!!!

(Trigger's favorite Teacher) said...: The "face" that Trigger does all the time reminds me of some pictures that i have seen of Sydney! Your outfit turned out great! You should start an ETSY business. You could feature your business on our "friend" Kelly's blog. I know your business would take off!; October 19, 2009 at 10:35 AM

The Woodards

My name is Garson Woodard. I'm a wife to Matt. He is the most incredible husband a girl could ask for. We met in Kindergarten at Cedar Creek (the school we attended for 13 years). Matt and I started dating our Jr. year in high school and dated for 6 years. We got married on June 26, 2004. I am so thankful that God brought us together! I am a mother to Trigger, Campbell, and Larkin. We worked hard to have all of them. After 2 miscarriages, two years after trying to get pregnant, a 2 week hospital stay, and a short (didn't seem short at the time) NICU stay, we brought home our first precious miracle: Trigger! He was born on July 29, 2008. Trigger's completely spoiled rotten! He is full of personality and definitely shows some of the same tenacity that his namesake had!

With our second child, Campbell, we made it to 38 weeks. He was born on June 3, 2010. He still had to stay in the NICU for 5 days for breathing issues. Campbell is absolutely precious..shy but such a little clown. I can't wait to watch our two boys which are 22 months apart) grow up together. I know they are going to fight constantly but be BEST of friends at the same time!

I just thought my boys were our miracles...and they are...but, at the end of May 2011, Matt and I found out that we were expecting the biggest surprise of our life. We were having baby #3 after being told we could never get pregnant on our own. AND, to add to the excitement, we were having a GIRL. After dealing with my medical issues, a two vessel cord, and IUGR, Larkin was born on January 6, 2012. She came here ruling the roost and I am sure that is not going to change anytime soon.

After what seemed like forever thinking that I would not have any children, God has blessed me with three beautiful babies all within 3.5 years.

After having Campbell, Matt and I decided I would become a stay-at-home mom. In alot of ways it is more difficult than teaching because I am with OUR children all day...and OUR children don't seem to listen like my students would. HOW DOES THAT WORK? Haha! Seriously though, it is the BEST job in the world and I feel very blessed to be able to be home to witness each and every minute of our boys' lives!

I started this blog when we found out we were pregnant with Trigger and have continued to document our crazy lives with a toddler and a baby since I don't have time to scrapbook anymore. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again!
