Last night was the beginning of the Apple Blossom Festival. We had kids, so we took them to the Kiddie Parade. One the way there Aubrey said, "We're going to the Kiddie Parade? I LOVE Hello Kitty!"
It rained last night. Everything is soaked and soggy out there. Today is definitely not a play outside kind of day, unless one happens to be a duck, then maybe it would be okay. We can't complain, really. We're wet, but not flooded like some of the towns down along the Finger Lakes. Our only real "flooding" is Teal Lake and that won't stick around long.
It turned out to be a great day for our friend "Miss Linda" to come over and do a craft with the kids. They would have done this one at church a couple weeks ago, but one or more of them was sick with a tummy bug and they stayed home that night instead. They had a great time putting together kaleidoscopes and fighting over, oops... I mean decorating them with stickers. I thought it a cute little craft. Just hold it up to the light and turn it around and watch the beads make cool designs.
It's been a good week and I'm looking forward to a good weekend too. The rain is supposed to clear up and tomorrow afternoon I might tag along with Hannah to the big Apple Blossom Parade. I have to do it while she'll still let me.
A few friends have told me they're no longer able to leave comments on my blog. I haven't changed any settings so I'm wondering if perhaps it is a browser issue. Maybe using a different browser, like Firefox or GoogleChrome, would make a difference. I hate to think there are people who can't leave comments.That makes me sad.
PS. Teal Lake is gone. The drainage tiles are working well. :0)
It is raining and quite chilly here today too.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loved Hello Kitty when she was little too.
It is nice to see the kids enjoying doing crafts.
I hope you have a nice time at the parade. Blessings, Catherine
The rain appears to have stopped now. There was a lot of flooding in the Finger Lakes. The rain just came pouring down every hill and creek flooding out the valleys and washing away whatever was in its path. Hopefully the worst of it is over.
DeleteThe kids did have a great time with their craft this morning.
Looks like they thoroughly enjoyed their craft. How fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's just too bad they won't last very long. :(
DeleteWhat a darling craft. When I was teaching S.S. I would have loved to use that for one of my craft times.
ReplyDeleteSunny and HOT weather here, San Diego has fires burning out of control. Our progress is moving forward..hope to have something to share real soon.
I thought it was a great craft. Too cute and one that could be kept and enjoyed for a long time (in the hands of different children...)
DeleteI would love to send you some of our rain. We could do with less and you could do with more. Progress is good. I'm looking forward to your resolution.
Excellent crafting....
ReplyDeleteLove that shot of the barn with the stepping stones♥️
Enjoy your weekend...I am mad stuck here at home. :o(
Cheers!
Linda :o)
The barns do make for nice photos, especially in the summer.
DeleteYes, fun craft.
Sorry you're stuck at home. That's no fun.
:0)
okay, said the" new activity director of Hearthside Luxury Apartments", How do you do this craft..?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if your kiddos can do it the 70-90 yr olds. can. Looks like fun!!
My friend Linda did it with them. I'll see if I can find out if they have written instructions. They turned out really cute.
DeleteCute craft idea! Love it!
ReplyDeletePoor little one...she looks genuinely disappointed in the next photo that it isn't Hello Kitty! haha.
It's cold here...46 and rain? Brrr. We're back to long sleeves, the furnace and blankets on the bed.
Teal Lake needs a duck! ha.
The poor little one was actually being naughty and her grandma made her sit until she was ready to behave. She's awfully cute though, no matter what. :0)
DeleteIt's a bit chilly here again too. Boo!
