Always Remembers

Though my son, Joey, always tells me his memory is bad now because of his tumor, he always seems to remember the things I like to do with the kids and the things I love. He stopped by with this container of acorns because he knows I like the kids to paint them and we use them for fall decorations. He has the biggest acorns I have ever seen and he spent time making sure the acorns all had caps on them which makes for a more attractive painted acorn. Such a nice thing for him to do.

I guess we will now get out the paints and start painting. The first day of fall is almost here.

Sewing Project

We are finally pretty much back into our normal school routine. It has been a little slow to come, but I finally feel like everything is coming together. The kids have started back to their after school activities and I think very ready for fall and a change from summer. This year I was definitely ready for summer to be done and gone and since fall is about my favorite season I am enjoying this time.

Bethany and Tess are back in their sewing class and this past week made these cute little bags. They really did an excellent job on these. I am so glad they both love these classes and they are learning so much. I love seeing all the things they make. Bethany has been busy making pillows for Christmas — just little accent pillows to throw on a bed or sofa, but very cute. She is earning money to do her Christmas shopping, which I know is quite a ways off, but it does take time to make them.
