...the Uncles and there families would not be in town on Sunday and Emeraude was adamant about wanting them to have the gifts she made on time so, we decided to put them into baskets with a little straw and some chocolate eggs (one of them also had little chocolate bunnies)...read more [Read more]
...recipe for the colouring solution. I melted parafin wax which Emeraude used a shishkabob stick to draw with on some eggs, we dipped a couple into it (just the ends) and also just drizzled the wax randomly on others. Lots of fun, they look great, just need to pick up some inexpensive baskets from [Read more]
This week seems to be flying by faster than I can process. I promised the EDC photos that I have not even had a chance to look through yet *eesh*, Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dave (from the EDC) to work on my cover letter for Second Story Press and I had hoped to be much [Read more]
Well, it’s been quite a bit of work but we are finally done! Yesterday Emeraude & I cut a ‘door’ into the pinata & filled it with the goodies bags we had made for her friends. We then taped the door shut and papier maché’d over that so it would be smooth for [Read more]
A couple weeks ago, Emeraude brought home a ‘dinosaur egg’ she had made at Nursery School (Her teacher, Nickie is wonderful. Obviously called to hr work and constantly finding great, creative, imaginative crafts to do with the kids). The egg had instructions to ‘let dry for 5 [Read more]
...did not think of it as Emeraude had started singing and had me enthralled lol (she makes up her own songs about whatever is going on at the time and I really just sit back and enjoy the performance - I never know what tune she might come up with or what the lyrics will be like so she has me on [Read more]
I am feeling very good about my recent progress towards having the Emeraude Exploring collection completed and published. Don’t let this give the wrong impression, you won’t be finding it at Chapters next week lol, but it is definitely moving forward in a very real way. This [Read more]
It was a crazy day but before Emeraude was to head to her Dad’s I thought we could do a little gardening. Our beans (haricots) grew like CRAZY and I knew she would enjoy transplanting them and getting a look at the roots. Emeraude found a few beans that were just barely germinating and this [Read more]
What a wonderful day! When we first arrived, I realized that the mittens Emeraude had werestill wet and Danile offered to come back to my (the kids) house and pick up a dry pair so Emeraude went along. I sat there for a while waiting before realizing this was my opportunity to go up on [Read more]
I was relieved to see Bonnie was attending when I went in this evening. The IV that had been put in last night (anticubital by my request) looked awful, the butterfly sides not having been taped had gouged into my arm (read yesterdays…) and so I asked her if she could put in a new [Read more]
Some of the other seeds are finally coming up. The only ones still hiding are the parsnips. Wondering what to do about the ‘greenhouse’ lids with the peas touching the top, I don’t want her healthy sprouts to start leaning over but worry if I take it off the ones that still need [Read more]
I had gone for my pain meds about an hour and a half earlier and was in pretty good shape so Emeraude & I went to the hill at Friends (bakery/coffeshop) and had a blast. It was so warm out I didn’t even need gloves, she was in a super sliding mood and had me [Read more]
Just another trip to MGH for pain meds. Emeraude was with me and couldn’t resist the puddles along the sidewalk outside. Still going 3-4 times/day for Dilaudid injections which really limits my ability to live like a normal person but I am grateful that I have Dr.Crawford on my side during [Read more]
