Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.
~Kay Redfield Jamison
This weekend began at 4:30 a.m. Saturday
morning with picking up the wee one to
stay with us for the week while her mom
is out of town. There was a visit to the
market for extra special treats,there
was a little thrifting for 'new to us' books,
a stainless steel cup and a few glass
casserole dishes. It brought wonderful
surprises in the mail from blogging
friends that are still making me smile
today, thank you. The rest of our day
was spent building horsey houses,
reading books, loving on the rabbit
and drawing lots of pictures that are
now taped all over the house.
Today has been baking cookies
with lots of dough tastings to make
sure everything was just right, visiting
the chickens and ducks for morning
treats, and berry picking. This
afternoon has a picnic planned,
swimming and just playing.
What has been going on in your world
this weekend?

how wonderful, so much outdoorsy activities filled your weekend! i should also go do some berry picking some time soon.
ReplyDeletewe had friends over and i am so proud of how well i tidied before everybody came and how i managed to clean up well again after. but i must say one of my friends was an especially great kitchen helper, we made a great team of keeping things under control :)
That is what weekends should be about! So happy you were able to spend it being creative with little ones!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend with the wee one sounds wonderful. Shopping, baking, picnic, swimming ... how fun. Love that soft-looking yarn you received.
ReplyDeleteWe finally had a cool weekend here. I took a couple of long walks, went to a street fair, saw Rock of Ages, knit, and had dinner with Hil and Lily. It was one of the best weekends in recent memory.
The dough tasting is a favourite part of cookie baking around here too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and the little one have a wonderful week ahead!
sounds like a perfect weekend. I did a lot of baking. A lot dish-making, but not a lot of dish washing. ;)
ReplyDeleteBusy busy. What beautiful yarn!
