Random media
And now, a few random bits and pieces.
Pictures: a grampy set, a chicago set and a Paddington Bear set. We’re almost “set” to have adventures. I’m going to write up my Chicago notes as I have time, and I’ll probably backdate them or just title them for hwen they did happen.
I got Sarah to upload a bunch of videos to our youtube account. You can see a bunch here, mostly from last year. yes, they are unlabeled. I can’t see videos on my computer (long story) and my connection – at least today when I have time & inclination – is not letting me DO anything in a timely manner. So watch and enjoy with no expectations.
Random Emma:
We were in a thrift clothing stores, and she went two aisles over to give a free hug to a stranger. I did pop my head up long enough to nod at the wary woman to let her know that, yes, it’s okay with mom. I wandered over a few minutes later while Emma was still chattering.
“Did you tell her why you do this?” I reminded her. Sometimes she gets me to explain that it’s to spread love and kindness.
“Oh yes,” Emma said, “It’s because I have a gift and I know how to use it.”
Well that was new.

Today, I went to wake up Ron from his nap and give him a quick snuggle. I was foiled by Emma following me. Canoodling away with Emma chattering around us and leaning on me, I said, “Hey, we’re trying to be romantic here!”
“And I’m ruining it for you!” she laughed.

On another night, tucking her in bed, she was complaining about her grandmother and how their taste in clothing is starting to differ. Emma and Meaghan had sorted out clothing previously sorted by Mam. She stopped mid-thought to ask me, “What do you call someone who just wants to spoil you all the time and buy you stuff?”
“A grandmother?” I said.
I got a tisk, sigh and preteen eyeroll for that one.

Meaghan made toblerone fudge. We told her she needs to practice more and make it again. Mmm hmmm.

Ahem. The “classroom” pic also does not show MY workshop on the other side of the back wall.
Just sayin’
I also LOVE those fabulous paper plate creations! I wish he would make some right there in the exhibit hall — THAT would draw a crowd!
I love the things Emma says! She is a bright little girl! What a character.
