Has it really been 2 weeks since Thanksgiving weekend? Yikes!
So life has just been chugging along as usual. Erin was actually under the weather the day after Thanksgiving and so I stayed home with her. She really wasn't too bad, just vomiting for the early morning, then whatever was affecting her seemed to go away quickly and she became her wild self again! Last weekend was relatively quiet. A bunch of things I had originally planned fell through, so Erin and spent the morning helping Aunt Dee with her garage sale, and we made enough money to buy lunch and meet up with Gord who was putter away at the skeet shooting club. I even decided it was time I tried skeet shooting, and was actually thrilled that I broke a clay bird! I even broke 6 in a row! I don't think I'm ready to quit my day job though!
Monday rolled around and Erin was so happy Sparks was back up and running after a hiatus from cookie selling and Thanksgiving. It was enrollment night - the night the girls 'officially' become Sparks! They had fun and Gord and I and several parents decided to stick around and joined in with the girls as they played games. I think it's a general rule that I should change when I come home from work, and normally I do. However, for some reason I didn't, so I found myself playing games in heels! The kids all had fun though, and that was the best part. Actually, I guess the best part was the cake. Yes, definitely the cake!! At least no one had their cameras out snapping pictures of us adults hopping around with clothespins between our knees, or with vasoline on our noses, picking up cotton balls! Yes, you heard me......
I had an interview for a job on Monday morning. It went well, but I didn't end up getting the job. No biggie. It would have been a stretch for me and I am confident something else that's right for me will come along when the time is right.
The rest of the week was pretty much business as usual. Yesterday, Richinda, Dee, and I hosted a Christmas open house sale here at our place. We had some friends set up tables and we invited everyone we knew to come out. It was a fundraiser for the Merrickville Mosaic Group - some of the local guides and pathfinders are raising money to attend the Guiding Mosaic in Guelph next year to celebrate 100 years of Guiding in Canada. Richinda's gal Emma, and our neighbour Amy are both part of the group, so it was a no-brainer when it came to saying yes to doing a fundraiser. We had quite a lot of people come out, and everyone did well. Dee and I did amazing and I think we are both in shock to see how well our fused glass jewelry and gifts were received! Thanks to everyone who came out! We - by the way, did I mention our little home grown business name is 'The Glass Girls'? - will next be in Perth, at the fairgrounds on Sunday November 1st!
This week features lots of fun things: Monday is picture day and Sparks, I get to work from home Wednesday and Thursday because we will have no heat or water at work (hey, it's fun for me, okay?!!), Grampa will be coming down later this week to spend Halloween with us, then will head to Florida bright and early Sunday November 1st, and of course, the big event itself - Halloween!!! Erin is going to be -you guessed it - Hannah Montana!
