Weekending:: Andy Warhol, Rain Boots & A Rummage Sale

Friday night was date night for the kids and I.
We went to a local art show and out to dinner, just the three of us.
We got dressed up-well, we got out of our "lounging clothes" anyway, and grabbed the umbrellas.
There was a huge thunderstorm that ended just in time for us to leave.
Let me just tell you how happy Charlotte was about the rain and the puddles- she got to wear her  new
rain boots and splash in all the puddles, in a white dress. Yeah.

The kids loved the art show; they both love to draw, illustrate, paint and color.
Wyatt's teacher this year also has a degree in art, which is perfect for my boy.
He incorporates art into their daily work and encourages Wyatt with his drawings.
I love that.
Wyatt came home from school yesterday and said they did a "pop art" project and wondered if I had ever heard of Andy Warhol : )
Then last night at the art show Wyatt spotted a painting of Andy Warhol and thought that was really cool and explained to his sister who it was
and what he did.
Getting good reports on test scores and reading levels and all that jazz is good but the Andy Warhol thing made this mama proud.

Saturday we had a rummage sale and after it was over- or wait, an hour into it- I vowed never to
have another one.
Like never again.
You might wanna remind me of that in a few years though when I think it's a good idea again.
I  LOVE going to rummage sales but I do not love having them.
People are annoyingly cheap. A nice pair of little girl's Nike tennis shoes are marked $1 and the lady just has to ask if we will take
50 cents instead.
Fifty cents instead of a dollar because you know, that extra fifty cents she just really needed.
Really?
For a pair of tennis shoes that are in great condition?!
Grrrrrr.
Those people make me want to say no just out of spite...Mature of me, I know.
But when people are nice and friendly and are going through all the baby clothes I have
marked a dollar each and saying how cute they are I have no problem
telling them to pack a grocery bag full of clothes,  as much as they can possibly get in there for $4.
Okay-- rummage sale rant is over.

This morning it's still just the kids and I, Eric will be home from the Cabin today.
We have an open day with nothing going on, love days like this.
Homemade blueberry muffins for breakfast, coffee, windows open, kids spread out on the floor drawing and no school tomorrow.
Another 3-day weekend.
Hope you have a great Sunday, too!

Oh---- I almost forgot about the bracelet give-away.
Leslie, I'll be sending the bracelets your way this week! : )
Yipppeeee!

Shop News + A Fun Give-Away

This is what I did yesterday.
Lots of cutting and gluing and wrapping.
These are all in the shop now and instead of selling them separately I decided to sell them in sets of
two because they are just cuter that way.
The more the merrier.

I am just loving all of these colors together...and the patterns.
Why yes, I do love flowers and polka dots.

And since I made so many I thought it would be fun to do a little give-away because I never
do anything like that.
So for your chance to win a set of two fabric-wrapped bracelets just leave me a comment here.
You can leave comments through Friday.
And you don't have to do anything else-- no "liking" me anywhere else or coming back here
and telling me that you liked me or followed or loved me or tweeted about me.
Nope.

Just leave a comment on this post and make sure it is attached to your email address.
Pretty simple.

And there are more fun things in the Shop so you should go browse around there, too.
And have a GREAT Wednesday.
