What happens when my Husband goes out of town

Josh had to go out of town for work this week. He is gone until Friday.Back in July I was give a ton of quilting fabric from a lady in my ward. Her mom is 91 and was cleaning out her quilting supplies and I was lucky enough to get a ton of fabric. Not only was I given a ton of fabric scraps, but there were a ton of squares already put together, just waiting for a place on a quilt.
Last week while Jarom was at preschool I was able to go and get even more fabric from this lady in my ward. This time it was bulk fabric and not just scraps. I have been in heaven getting all this fabric. I have so much to do now though.
So back to Josh going out of town. I don't know what it is but when he isn't home, I have the hardest time turning out the lights and going to bed. I don't like the feeling. I am never scared, I just don't ever want to go to bed. So because of this about 9pm after the boys had been in bed for a while and I had worked out a bit, I decided I would work on sewing a bit of the quilt I had worked on last week.
sewing just a bit turned into this......

I just couldn't stop. I just kept sewing. It was driving me crazy the thread I was using was older and kept breaking. It was Heavenly Fathers way of saying.... GO TO BED!!!!
Well I kind of ignored it because I still kept going..... and going....
3:30am I finally called it quits. Mostly because I had nothing else to sew.
I think the quilt turned out pretty good. Not only does it take me back to my younger years when I was addicted to everything purple, but I just like how it turned out.
Now I just need to find something really soft for the back and it will be a great baby blanket for a girl..... Once again me making things that are for GIRLS....
I will say though, there is something about sewing that I LOVE!!!! I am so glad I know how to sew and am getting better because if I could I would sit and sew all day.

Funny things from the Lewis Boys

*Josh stayed home from work the other day because he wasnt feeling very good. Jarom was out in the pool and he was trying so hard to backfloat. We heard him talking to himself and then he came up out of the water and grunted and said" i just cant do it, i am having issues" Josh said what did you say jarom, I'm having issues!!! I laughted so hard. the things Jarom says.

*The other day Jarom was watching TV and the show was talking about having a new baby. Jarom turned to me and said "mom I want a new baby!" I told him that Cole was our baby. He told me that cole wasnt a baby. I asked him what kind of baby he wanted and he said a GIRL!!!

* Cole loves to play with Jarom. Way more then Jarom likes to play with Cole. My only problem is if Jarom gets annoyed by Cole he tries to beat Cole up. When Jarom does this Cole just laughs, so it makes Jarom do it more and sometimes even harder. I have my work cut out for me when they get older I just know it.

* If I do something that Jarom doesnt want to me do or I dont do it right Jarom will say " YOU STINKER"

* Josh put in our new lighting in the kitchen a few weeks ago and the next day after it was done I showed Jarom and he said, " WOW, I so excited."

* Cole is getting better and better at feeding himself. He finally will drink from a cup by himself and loves to feed himself. However everytime he is done taking a drink he just drops it on the floor. We will have to work on his table manners. He is also very noisy when he eats, he smacks him lips like crazy. I guess I cant complain.

* Jarom's new bike has rockets on it and everytime he wants to ride his bike he asks, " Can I ride my spaceship bike" the only thing is when he asks it sounds like he is asking to ride his bishop bike.
