Hi there!! Wow, what a gorgeous March break for the kids, and the kids at heart!
We had fun with Maddie and Blake here for 3 days but it was so hot in here. I was running the portable AC that we bought last year in our bedroom but our central air was not working. We got it fixed on Friday afternoon but not in enough time for me to really spend time the kids. We did go out on Thursday afternoon to get Sculpey clay for Maddie (she is very creative) and to the Mastermind store on Fanshawe. We were wowed by the store as I hadn't been there since the previous owners and it is so awesome. Blake is turning 8 soon and so he got to pick out his birthday gifts from us, and a Lego dude for while he was here.
Maddie had some homework to do over the break...to trace back her family roots at least until her great-grandparents. Since I have been working off and on for the past year on my family tree, it was easy to pull the info that she needed. It was fun and she really seemed to be interested...I know, she's almost 12, so she was probably just being interested so Grandma would tell her all the answers for her homework questions!! I had fun and it is fun sharing family history with another generation!
Okay so this is not my idea (it is from Julie Davison, a US Demo), at the top of the page, but it is so cool! The Modern Label punch makes a perfect layer for the Blossom Punch (in the Occasions Mini...available until the end of April/12).
Enjoy the rest of this gorgeous weather...it can't last right now but it will return in a couple of months!!
I will be back soon,
Chrissie
