haircuts, sunshine, sewing...


Fynn was in a cranky kind of mood this morning, so I thought we were in for a tough day, but all turned out fine.

I find it helps to have somewhere to go - Fynn needs a change of scene. So off we went, in search of adventure:

Fabricland - Sophie only got told ONCE by the clerk to please not re-organize the colour coded spools of thread. Nothing will stop her in her tracks faster than when someone else tells her not to do something. We picked up the supplies for
this jumper that we will attempt with Grandma S's help this weekend. I must look like a "seamstress" or something because one of the women in the store saw that I was purchasing a little girl's pattern and offered to give me a bunch that she had at home. After assuring her that I was a BEGINNER, she insisted I take these patterns. I'm supposed to go back and pick them up. Okay, fine.

Library storytime - much nicer storytime this week. Last time a little girl who really NEEDED to learn some sitting still skills basically hyjacked the session. I felt sorry for the poor librarian who was constantly interrupted. Her grandpa who brought her thought it was funny for his little darling to be annoying.

Sophie needed another haircut. Her hair grows fast. She let the stylist at the mall wash it in the sink, which was so nice as she got it really clean (something we struggle with at home). All ready for Easter.

After a quick sugar pick-me-up from the Cinnamon bun place, we headed back home.

We had arranged with the neighbour for Sophie to come down and play with their little boy, so off she went. She doesn't mind being left alone without me when she is at the neighbour's, so that's a great break (maybe not for our neighbour)...they have 3 boys! Anyway, it was super nice weather today, so they got lots of outside playtime.

Here she is for the 24 hours or so where her hair will still look nice and fresh.

  1. Cute pattern! My mom is a whiz at sewing. Me? Not so much. I am having fun learning though.
