a catchup

Well, we've made it through a busy week !

On Thursday mum, Judy, Kade and I went to the Fiskars Garage Sale. Kade was SO well behaved ALL day. He sat in his stroller for two hours and did not complain once. Then we went to the Craft & Quilt Fair for a look around. Again, he did not complain once. He asked to get out of his stroller, so I let him out with strict instructions that he was not to touch anything and that must hold the stroller at all times. He did exactly as he was told and only let go of the stroller twice - a quick "UH-HUM" from me had him holding on again. Mum sat and did a quick workshop and Kade wanted to sit next to her. He sat there with his palms on the table almost the whole time, and when he did look at the things on the stand in front of him he was very careful and didn't try to take them off the rack. SO proud of my boy :D

On Friday I worked for 4 hours at the Craft & Quilt Fair - I had the BEST time ! The girls at the BHG stand (Ann Marie and Toni) were SUCH fun.

On Saturday I did some housework and made some cupcakes to take on Sunday. I also worked at night.

On Sunday (yesterday) I worked 9am to 6:30pm at the Fair, teaching my advanced class and assisting Lyn with her beginner class. It was a long day but I really enjoyed myself. Today I am having a recovery day LOL.

Here I am, teaching a FULL class - my second ever 'official' class ! Check out my snazzy Fiskars polo shirt and apron :) The young girls on the left did SO well and barely needed any instruction ! The lady in pink was the one we 'picked' on all lesson LOL. It was all in good humour and she played right along. This was a great bunch of ladies to teach, we all had lots of fun !

Toby's toe seems to be healing well after having the nail surgically removed in an effort to stop the ingrown toenail. He hasn't had any pain other than the day it was done, so that's good. Poor kid having inherited that complaint from my side of the family.

Kade keeps amazing us... Yesterday Elliot was using the computer and Kade came up to him an pointed to and named ALL the letters on the bottom row of the keyboard !!! We knew he knew some random letters, but we were completely flabbergasted that he could reel off the whole row. It seems his little VTECH learning computer IS actually teaching him !

Kade and I also made Shrek cupcakes last week. He's really becoming quite the little chef :D

Glad it all went so well - didn't see you at the garage sale - I ducked in at lunchtime as I only work 10 minutes away.

You are truly amazing.

Cindy how I envy you!! Kade seems like such a well-behaved boy! My girls are hopeless, they wouldn't sit anywhere for longer than 2 minutes (or less) ...
