Andy and I dropped off some homemade creamy potato leek soup (with fresh chives!) to our friend Jeane this evening, and gave her sister Blanche my pumpkin pie recipe...Jeane said it was the best pumpkin pie she ever tasted, and I was in total shock. All I can say is *whispering so as to not jinx anything* maybe I can do this cooking thing after all.
It was craft night at church- and beach ball soccer night at church. It's good to remember some large motor burning-off-steam activity to combat the I've-done-enough-crafts-and-eaten-enough-p
Andy really loved the crafts. After I set up mine- foam doorknob hangers with a big variety of things to stick/glue on them- he got right to work gluing green glass stones on two of them in the shape of arms, legs, a body & a head, with white glass stones for the ears. He said he was making Buster, Arthur's friend, who has his own show (Travels with Buster). Andy and Tyler chatted and realized they are both Buster fans.
Note to self: all the kids were drawn to the glass beads- they used some stickers and ribbon and other stuff, but the beads definitely had some magnetic pull going on.
Andy also made a candleholder from a large marshmallow, with a ribbon tied around it to hold a white Lifesaver as the handle and a birthday candle stuck inside. He made a beaded necklace, a butterfly from beads, and an ornament filled with purple glitter. He was very focused at each activity he chose, and happy with the results.
We played beach ball soccer for a long time in the hallway with Austin, Tyler, Will, and Everett. Thankfully none of the lights broke! But honestly, long hallways with smooth floors are meant for balls- and hmmm, maybe rollerblades...
