First Day of School

Well, first day of preschool anyhow. Still, Quinn was terribly excited. She had been carrying around her backpack all day Sunday and was ready and standing at the door five minutes before me this morning.

I feel bad about all the kids starting 'real' school next week as we are having terrible weather this week -- the last week of vacation. We've had thunderstorms every day and lots of rain. We got outside after work and school for a few minutes when there was a short break in the rain.

long pah-ty weekend

I had plans to do a lot of sewing this weekend. but it didn't quite work out. Instead, I went out with friends Friday night and then took the kids to a party on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. I finished a handbag tonight, but it was raining outside and too dark inside to shoot without the flash, so I'll have to post that tomorrow.
