April 25th weekend

What was predicted to be a nice weekend, was not. It wasn't (really) sunny and it wasn't warm. Instead, it rained on and off and never got nice enough for a short-sleeve. So much for the weather reports on the news...

Saturday, as always, started off with a swimming lesson. All the kids are making quite a progress. Gabe was perfecting swimming on his back. Nice form!
The rest of the day was spent cleaning, eating, then watching TV. Why not, it was a perfect weather for it...
On Sunday we had a few options for a family fun event and chose a trip to the Oregon Convention Center for a 2009 Crafts Fair. Local metal, wood, glass, pottery, bead & textile experts had things to sell. I like to attend those for inspiration. Kids like anything hands-on, as was the case with a pottery kids' corner.
Gabe made a monster, Larissa made a birthday cake and a person, and Jon just liked the feeling of a knife cutting through a soft clay.
I didn't buy anything at the show (I am so proud of me!). Mostly because everything was extremely expensive by my budget... but I got a few ideas of what I might make next ;-)

April 18th weekend

I a little behind on my weekly posting and not much to talk about this weekend, since we are almost in the beginning of a next one, I will just list things I learned this week:


1. Darker shades of face paint do not wash off easily

2. Grownup's party + alcohol = a lot of chaos. Stay clear of people with knives!

3. Bugs are ugly when you look at them really close
