We had our last date night out before (she) Chris heads on home done her practical at the senior’s home here in the city. We started with supper at The Mall and then shopping at our favourite Chinese grocery – T&T. This time we really didn’t have much else to do there and since Ken was stuck fixing someone’s code error later than we had hoped we didn’t dawdle around there. (someone changed a line of code with less than positive results… frustrating!)

In the elevator

Mmm Crepe!

We spent a little time wandering Superstore – picking up some photos I ordered for scrapbooking purposes and wandering the toy aisle to see if there were some ideas for Emanuel’s upcoming birthday (there really wasn’t). The plan for dinner tomorrow – our last with Chris – is hamburger pie so we had to pick up the hamburger and corn that go in the dish. So not the most exciting date but it was fun for us. And apparently the girl at the photolab recognizes us now… do I really develop that many pictures???

I FINALLY got my hands on a bought credit card with enough on it to get myself an Enchanted Learning membership. Which has me off to the races with my wolf and Chinese New Year stuff  to print out… until I ran out of printer paper! Which is the next product I need Ken to hunt down, that and the much needed glue sticks for the glue gun (sadly they didn’t have any at Superstore of either product). We did some more workbook work today but I am finding that Zander is still not concentrating, this time rushing… I keep trying to have civil discussions about the importance of sometimes following instructions – even with colouring pictures. He is seeming to try a little harder… but I am sure it will take time to change his mind.

It looks as if I have finally sold off Trinity’s tutu I made for her when she was a year old and really only had her wear the one time for her birthday photos (did not go well). I figured that since I had kept her first tutu from her first Halloween costume AND the tutu from the 2nd Halloween (when she was a strawberry) we could stand to get rid of this one. I have toyed with making some and selling them but am not sure it is worth the time and worry. I am just glad that it looks like some other little girl could get some use out of it!

Last night Ken and I stayed up late again – watching Haven (ok I admit it I am addicted). I got some more sewing done, I figure after a bit of a dry spell on stitches I CAN share I will share the in progress on this one since the recipient has no idea. I am enjoying this piece, it is a DMC pattern based on their Collector’s Edition package of floss.

Stitch to date

So hopefully tomorrow after the individual picks up the tutu we can head out to the conservatory, barring Ken having to work long on some error or something else coming up. With the weather warming a little we may even manage a play outside. The backyard is drifted so high we don’t feel comfortable with the kids out there alone! Crazy!!
