August 1-2
While Nana and Baba were seeing off the family we were out and about ourselves on errands and the like. I had a fun finish on the 1st – a pair of SHARK SLIPPERS I had commissioned by a twin mom for another twin mom. We are all in the same egroup and have been for ages! They are such a silly thing but turned out so lovely! I was glad to be able to get them in the mail before they needed to be taken across the border to Canada for a visit!
We did stop at a fun park while I sewed the eyes onto these. The kids have fully embraced the sunny days, though the heat can be rather stifling and make for shorter play times.
The twins assured me that after all that play some quiet tv time was in order.
The 2nd was the first Saturday of the month and so HOME DEPOT day…
But we made the day doubly exciting by being registered for a program at the Alexander Ramsey House (HERE). They do a once a month time capsule on the first Saturday and have a walk through of the house with a tour leader. It is so much fun! Limited photo taking opportunities but we did have a blast. And each of the kids ended up with a time capsule with little pictures of things they learned about in our tour. We plan on going again in October!!
And the kids got to get involved in the kitchen making hardtack (HERE)! Very cool!
Miss Trinity came home to a good bye present from Gabbi – a backpack and matching blanket that she is utterly in love with.
And I had an amazing gift – a drawing of the crochet items I gave her for her birthday. Thank you sweetie!
