PRODUCTIVE. That is how I would describe this week. It all started, last Saturday, when Vince replaced our side screen door with a lovely new one. What a difference it made just changing that one little thing. The side of our house looks quite respectable now. On Sunday, he rehung Bella's swing in the backyard, and we have one very happy kiddo on our hands now. She loves to swing, has ever since she was teeny tiny, and she has spent a good couple hours a day on her swing since Vince hung it nice and safe. I love that she is spending so much time outside swinging and rearranging her wisteria fort. good.stuff.
The rest of the week seemed to fall into place as well. I was a reading buddy Monday morning, and then I came home and completed my t-shirt blanket that I started 4 years ago. I backed it with a cozy gray fleece and it is keeping me warm while I type my blog :) Wednesday, I spent some time with Laura making tee shirt loop necklaces and taking pictures of sweet baby Scarlett. It was so nice to sit and chat with her for a couple of hours. Also, today, because they are studying Africa in class right now, Bella wore my African dress that I had made for me while visiting my grandparents in Lome, Togo when I was 8. I only had to hem the skirt, othere than that, it fit her perfectly. I still remember my Grandmother taking me to the market to pick out my material, and then the seamstress measuring me while I decided on the style. Papa and Grandmother were definitely smiling in Heaven. Thursday, Diane took me to lunch and to pick out my birthday Tom's. She gave me money for some, but wanted to go with me to pick them out. We had a great time, I also got a pair for Vince, and she also got Bella an outfit at Gap Kids before we had lunch at Qudoba. It was a very nice time. On Friday, I stopped at an estate sale after I dropped Bella off at school, and I scored a really cool Letterman painting from the 80's. Once I worked on valentines for Bella's teachers until Jen came over to hang lights around the fire pit for BYOT on Saturday. First we had to take the lights off the house and our Christmas tree, but she got the job done and they look fantastic!
I will post tomorrow about all the fun we had setting 20 Christmas trees on fire one by one at our annual B.Y.O.T. event. Or Bring Your Own Tree. It.will.be.epic.
