Yes, I’m still around, but I’ve been away from the bloggy world for a bit. Munchkin has needed extra Mommy time. We’ve been busy with getting back on track with school and lots of fun activities.
Monday, the library had a fun event which involved African drums. It was all about drums in history. They even made their own drums. As you can imagine, this was a big hit.
On Tuesday, we find ourselves back at the library for a PJ party!! You can not beat good stories, some fun singing and dancing, and some yummy popcorn.
Today, we headed to Jo-Ann Fabrics for some more polymer clay as Munchkin needed more of a few colors. They have it on sale right now, so it was a good time to get what she needed. She headed outside for a bit to play soccer, but it didn’t last long as it was still nearly 100 degrees at 6:00 this evening!!!
We’ve been having fun working on all kinds of little projects. Munchkin made her own rag doll after finding a “how-to” in a pioneer craft book that I picked up from the library. We tweaked a traditional baked donut recipe to make it gluten-free, and we ended up with some delicious donuts (recipe to be posted later). Yum!
We’ve gotten caught up in the Bento craze, and we’ve having a blast with our new laptop lunches. Hopefully, I’ll get some pictures up of our new, fun lunches.
I’ll probably be around a little less as Munchkin needs to come first. She needs Mommy a bit more right now.
Oh good – you are close to a joann’s. They are having a sale on mccall’s patterns – 1.99 – and they have a prairie-ish (can’t remember its title) one that made me think of you and your daughter! If you are interested in the pattern #, let me know!
You make sure you spend lots of time with your Munchkin!!
Oh yes, we eat Bento box lunches all the time here in Japan! They sell them in every store and on every corner where we can pick out the items for our boxes. In the 100 Yen store (equivalent to a dollar store back home) they sell the cutest little Bento Box accesories ~ I would love to send you some if you would like!!! I know your daughter would love them!! Just send me an email with your email address, and I will send her some authentic Bento box go-alongs 🙂 Blessings!
