Spring Break Visit to Grandma's

It was Spring Break for Natalie and Sammy...so I invited them to come for the day and have an adventure in the city! We headed for Wild Rumpus Bookstore to check out Spike the Lizard and all the cats, as well as the chicken! They'd heard about them from Carl and Gus, but wanted to see for themselves. They loved the place, and so did their mom, Diane! Then we were off to the bakery for kid breadsticks and to Wonderment Creative Toys to see how to crawl inside a tree. They really liked the neighborhood we visited. Home we went to eat pigs-in-a-blanket for lunch and get ready to work on our craft project


The girls picked out their favorite fabrics and we set to making totebags for each of them and Diane. At first they were a little relutant to try their hand at using the sewing machine, but sitting on my lap they were able to guide the fabric quite well!! (I had my finger bandaged after a little misphap earlier this week with the rotary cutter!)Both Sammy and Natalie were excited with the results of their work, and went home with a new totebag. I enjoyed sharing one of my favorite hobbies with them, and introducing them to the fun and satisfaction of sewing. it was a great Spring Break Day together!!
