Our day started off with an art session - we are focusing on faces this month and both Abby and Sam are taking part in '29 Faces in September' :)
Here are the two faces they drew today. Sam did a skull wearing a cowboy hat:
And this is my face for today - day 5 :)
After that we watched Inkheart, and I spoke to a friend on the phone - we planned a get together for Friday :)
Then we did some chores and I prepared supper in the crockpot.
We had brunch and then got to work on our tie dye. Sam dyed two t-shirts. Abigail tie dyed a tshirt, a pair of socks and something else....and I had nothing white to tie dye really, so I did a bra and underwear set:
I also tie dyed my hands:
Sam made himself a cheese toasty in the sandwich toaster and was
soooo proud of himself as it was his very first time:
After brunch/ lunch, we did gold panning using the kit we bought at the gem show.
We found two pieces:
It was 'early out' today, so once Susannah and Laurence got home, we headed into Edmonton to look at a car Laurence wanted to buy. Then we ran back in to Sherwood Park to give Rosie a bath at the 'Pet Wash'. She is no longer stinky from pond water :)
Rosie was NOT impressed with her bath at ALL :) But she did enjoy her walk through the farmers market and around the lake afterwards. She got a lot of attention and several people asked to say hello to her:
They had yummy corn at the farmers market in aid of Stars Helicopter:
I can't help but notice how much older Rosie is looking this year.
I can't imagine not having her around.
She is such a sweetheart and so well behaved. She won't run with the kids because she
won't leave me - and she keeps turning back to check I'm still there:
Susie in her back to school clothes and new boots which she LOVES:
Then we headed home and I soaked in the bath while the kids did their own thing - then showers and bed....lots to do tomorrow...
