a challenge in feeding myself

this morning i felt productive enough to pull out the sewing machine and finish a couple projects. the kiddos were playing so well together.
but this is why it is hard to do any major crafting with them awake:

they are magnetized to the project i am working on.
claire actually climbed on to the table and laid down behind the machine so she could watch the needle. jack was sorting my sewing machine tools and began cleaning the machine with the dusting brush.
thankfully, no ones fingers were impaled by a needle, no pins were stuck into the motor, the machine is spotless, and the project was finished (a little wrap around dress/shirt for claire).
i think it is sweet that jackson has a favorite stitch on my sewing machine, #17, and recognizes #5 (zigzag) on a person's clothing.
