Waskily Wabbits

Caitlin with a shirt full of babies!
Here's Christian's rabbit, Thomas
Let's be careful and put them up!
Can't you tell Cait is just thrilled to death?
See what we have!!


Caitlin and Christian had a blast yesterday at Grandma Duke's house. She discovered a nest with 6 baby rabbits in it recently, and the kids got to go play with them. According to the internet, you can play with them as long as you put them back in their nest and cover them up. Christian named one Thomas, and Caitlin named one Claire. Christian was so torn up about leaving them that he cried for a long time after coming home. They both keep asking us if they can have one as a pet--sheesh!! :) Thanks to Grandma Duke for sharing your baby rabbits and for taking the kids to get ice cream!

We Love You Bo

Today is a sad, sad day in the Haskell household. Our sweet black kitty, Bo, passed away this morning. He had a seisure around 5am in the bathroom while John was in there getting ready for work. John yelled at me to come quickly, and we were able to hold him and love on him until he slipped away quietly. We don't know what caused the seisure at this time. Bo was the BEST cat ever, and we will all miss him dearly. I am including the last picture taken of him. Rest in peace Bowtie Kitty Pawskins...

I totally enjoy sewing, but usually don't find the time to do so. However, this week was different. I didn't take naps (for all of you that REALLY know me, you know that's a feat within itself) and I accomplished everything I set out to do. I made some things for Jill's baby, Alexis, as well as some items for a baby shower. So, for those people that requested pics of what I have been doing, here ya go! :) Oh yeah, I worked on 3 more things, but they must remain a secret until Mother's Day...sorry! HaHa

You Can Leave Me Comments!

Just wanted to let everyone who reads the Haskell blog to know that you can leave comments by clicking on the comment link below each post. I had originally set it to only accept comments from blogspot users, but I have since changed that. It's open to everyone now! :)

How Sweet She Is!

So I was watching tv last night when Caitlin came up to me with a piece of paper in hand. She put it on my lap and told me to look at it. She explained that it was something she had written at school that day, and she thought it was very important that I see it.

I was totally surprised by what I read on the paper. It was SO SWEET and cute that it brought tears to my eyes. I am going to write it here as it was written on the paper, spelling mistakes and all. I will also include the picture that was drawn on the back of the paper. She is a budding artist for sure! :)

Here is what the paper said:
"I wont to be a sower like my mom rily rily bad! But I know it is bad to be jelis of other people. But I wont to be a sower because you get to make stuf that is rily cool. When I grow up I wont to make prity stuf like my mom dose. I want to be a sower." Caitlin Haskell

I just thought it was precious they way she wrote it. I am also amazed to know that my children actually pay attention to what I do! :) If she wants to be a "sower," more power to her!
Here is the drawing that went with the paper. I couldn't believe the detail she used. She even included the ceiling fan! LOL
