The weekend arrives

Busy week and glad it's Friday! I helped to babysit those triplets again and wow, babies really change drastically in 4 months. The kiddos are about 9 months old now and crawling all over the place -- the girls are even pulling themselves up and standing. They were so much fun and I came home with a touch of baby fever. :-)

Ladies' craft night this month fell on St. Patrick's Day, so my friend Cindy offered up potato/bacon soup, minty green milkshakes and "Irish" guacamole, which isn't Irish at all but we had to justify it's place on the buffet table. Other girls brought along cookies and beer bread. So very tasty. For my craft I worked on those damn tissue-paper poufs -- they're never ending! I need to make at least 90 and the count is currently at 44.

And aren't these little bowls great!?!? My sister's boyfriend is a very talented ceramics artist/professor and he offered to create these as a wedding favor for our guests. BEST FAVOR EVER! Gabe's website is here: http://www.gabetociart.com/ It's difficult to gauge the size in these photos but all of the bowls can fit in the palm of your hand.
