A Little Under The Weather

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I'm just not feeling very well. We had a pretty busy weekend and as you know went to our little local show on Friday night, it got pretty cold as we sat and waited for the fireworks and I think I was ripe for the picking (aka a little rund down)and now am paying the price.

It's not the full blown flu or anything, sore throat, headaches you know the drill....enough to make me feel damn terrible. I've got 4 posts sitting here half done that I need to finish and my poor old spring cleaning has been put on the back burner and we won't even talk about what is our last week of 'school' before the spring break.

I am feeling somewhat better today (yesterday afternoon/evening was the worst of it, raging headache and I spent the afternoon on the lounge) so hopefully it is walking out the door as we speak.

Anyway just to let you know I am here alive and kicking....if only just!!

Flat Stanley: First Arrival ~ New York

Our very first Flat Stanley arrived this afternoon in the mail. YAY! B7 was so eager to get it open but since K5 was at kindy he had to wait, thankfully we were heading out the door to pick her up anyway.

We love the photo of him on his Stanley Doll. I think that now B7 and K5 wished that they had done that. (I suggested it to them when we were making ours but they chose not to) J. included a nice letter about himself and his family (oops we didn't do that with our Stanley's) and some cool stickers, thanks so much for those J.

We've got a busy weekend ahead of us so your Flat Stanley will be out and about quite a bit.

Heading To The Show

Our local show starts tomorrow (for those of you in the US I believe you call them fairs). After last year and seeing all of the fabulous entries from other children both B7 and K5 have been busy working on their entries for this year.

We are just heading down now to submit them. The judging takes place tonight and we will head along to the show for a couple of hours tomorrow evening to take a look arond, have some rides and some of that wonderful junky show food (aka fairy floss YUM)

B7 has been working on this 'Battle Station' for weeks, adding bits here and there, fiddling around. He's pretty proud of it. He is also entering his Tallest Ice Cream in the World water colour and oil pastel creation. Along with his hand sculpted clay tree stump, wrapped in vines and a green tree snake.

K5 also spent quite a bit of time on her entry, this is definitely the largest Lego creation she has ever completed, "A house". Along with her Tallest Ice Cream in the World.

We've spent quite a bit of time talking about the reasons why we are entering these in the show and that winning (if that happened) is just a by product. They both seem to be comfortable with that but only time will tell I guess.
