A Good Weekend

We had a pretty good weekend. I didn't go to the Cross Counrty Meet in Albany, and am a little sad because the kids did so well. Good job everyone.

On Friday, Zoe and I went to Story Time at the library. We were joined by Randy, Isaac, and Isaac's cousin, Brandon. We heard some great stories about fall, and wind, then made leaf pictures. Unluckily it was about one day too early for real leaves, so the kids had to do with cloth leaves and tissue paper. Even so, we had a good time pasting. Zoe chose the "pink" (red) acorn.

We caught up on our sleep this weekend, which was really nice. And both days, I did some woodworking. The benches are on the way, Randy and Sandy. They should weigh just under a ton each as they are made of hard maple which is quite heavy, and, as you might guess, hard.

Zoe got some new gloves; she can even put them on herself. We had gone to Rite Aid for vitamins and a stereo cable. While there we noticed the glove rack had been put out. Well, why not shop for some gloves? I thought. We will need some soon, and the ones that she has are too small. Well, one of the first that I saw, were these blue ones with pictures of the Disney Princesses on them. Zoe, of course, loved them right away. I then found some mittens that are waterproof; they looked pretty warm. Zoe was unconvinced, however that we should get them. I assured her that we could get the princess gloves also, but the waterproof ones were a no-go.

Saturday evening, Zoe, Mima and Papa, found some leaves that had fallen over night and so made them into an authentic Fall-Leaf-Picture. I think that it looks pretty good.

On Sunday, after working on the benches, while Zoe and Amy drove, I ran to the Hill's. It rained a bit, and the wind blew, but overall, I had a good time. The fire in the earth stove warmed me up when I got there, and then we all shared a relaxing afternoon while catching the last half of The Fifth Element on TV.

Watch this space tomorrow for a big announcement. Until then, cheers!
