Well by request we have taken an extra day off of our schooling. Instead the boys spent the morning recreating their version of the party piñata using Pepsi boxes. Restful and apparently great fun. It was just too hot for our kids to be out after the weekend we had.

I have been working on the bows for the wedding. There is a minor problem – out of the two bags of ribbon I was sent only two rolls work… so I will have to get around to running to the store and sourcing out some more… at least I KNOW that Walmart has the satin I need for the secondary smaller bow. I am, of course, using the stacked bow that I do for Trinity’s stuff only instead of 3 or more ribbons doing just 2. I checked today while out with the family… they had something like the regular white satin I used in my prototype at the larger Walmart. I need to make 60 in total (so 120 bows) and I am thinking I may get almost 20 out of the red and gold… but at least it is a start!

I took the leap and used the last of my birthday money, and some out of my fix the iTouch fund and got a new (and relatively inexpensive) camera. Definitely NOT a Canon, but a 14 mexa pixel Olympus. It is currently charging but I feel much… safer… having a new and 100% working camera. I also sold another Kijiji item so that will go back to building up my iTouch fund!
We actually ran a few errands before Ken had to be off to meet up with Fydo and go to a boardgame night. We stopped off at Walmart to get a different version of the “prinpress” shoes. Not sequinned but pink and shiny enough to make our Trinity happy!
Not the best picture sorry
We also picked up my KodakGalleryprints. 50 free prints. So now if I can clear my table off of the card making stuff I should be able to get some work in on the kids’ books.
My pictures!
That just leaves the appointment on Wednesday for me to worry about… we got our confirmation call so that is all good. There are a few OTHER things for the week but that is what weighs the heaviest right now. At least my sunburn is less.. burny!
Snack break!
