In mid September we are usually living at a crazed pace from one soccer practice, match, or tournament to the next. We love every tiring minute of it. However, THIS September we have had rain 17 of 26 days, in fact we have had at least a trace of rain 14 of the last 15 days. So due to soggy closed soccer fields this month has been unusually relaxing! I have loved all the rainy days but we will pay for them when we are freezing our tootsies off at soccer games rescheduled into December!
So, with all the extra time on our hands we have been working on quite a few projects. Here are a few... Madison created this lovely flowerpot with cupcake liners, pipe cleaners and a clay pot we had around the house. She made another, larger one for a friend's birthday.
and Ellie and Madison made some very cheerful sun catchers (see them at the end of the post) and friendship bracelets.
Unfortunately, Ellie came down with the flu- look what Madison made to cheer her up- :D --it kept her down for a couple of days with high temps and then she got better for about a day and a half. Unfortunately, her temp registered at 102 again tonight.
We pulled out our state quarters collection that had been neglected for a couple of years. Each of the girls has a collection from the Philly mint and from the Denver mint. We have been setting aside all our state quarters and had several hundred to sort thru. The "D"s are just about all complete but we are missing some of the Philly quarters yet. Madison made the handy "quarter sorter" grid.
They make even a rainy, dreary day seem cheerful, don't you think?
