We're Going to the Daffodils!

1. I went to the volunteer breakfast at the school this morning.
2. I did housework.
3. I had my neighbour over for tea and snack (even if all she had was water - teehee)
4. I played with Bear and his hot wheel tracks.
5. I am cooking supper and have plans of making deviled eggs for my husbands work shop.

Basically I ended up with 7 dozen eggs last time my mother was here and last night Raven took two of them. One for her and one for her mother. So I figured that I should probably use up at least another dozen or so and I know my father-in-law likes deviled eggs. So I will get to experiment with scraping out yolks and mixing in mayo and mustard or whatever goes into the deviled eggs mixture. I think I have a recipe somewhere. If not I'll call my Mom she knows everything.

So Bear is upset because I am putting him to bed early tonight. He is flushed and is running a bit of a fever. When he had a breakdown at supper tonight I said, "Okay its bed time for you too young man." Our rule for supper is if they finish everything they have been given them then they can have dessert. So when he couldn't finish his regular portion that he can normally polish off in minutes I knew he wasn't feeling well. He's also upset because now because he won't get any computer time or TV time tonight. Sorry Bear this is what happens when you don't go to sleep until 2-3 hrs after your bedtime for almost a week. It's called getting sick. Mommy should know she's been fighting the same cold all week.

Anyways the tea! hehe with my neighbour turned out well and I enjoyed having her over for almost an hour. I had been cutting up a pineapple for Smiles' snack and since Little H was over she was automatically included in the pineapple offer. So I decided if Little H's Mom was available then it would be nice to have her over for tea at the same time. As I stated above all she had was water, but we had a nice chat and she saw the inside of my messy house. I had swept it at least before she came over. Still, we discussed how we both liked that the girls had become friends and how much they enjoyed playing together. Like today, the girls rode around on Smiles' largest unicorn crying "We're going to the Daffodils! We're going to the Daffodils!". I have no idea what daffodils they were talking about but at least they had fun riding around the house together.

Last night was a good night if a bit later than I wanted. Hubby had a meeting at work that meant he didn't get home til later than normal and so swimming was really late. Which meant that when I got to Raven's it was around the time that we would have usually gotten a cloak finished by. I did finish my black wool cloak and boy is it black. I mean it is black, black, black, black and black. It has a black wool outer layer. A black twill lining. I ran black trim down the front and around the hood. Last but not least I used not one but two black frogs to keep the cloak closed. Raven took a picture of it but I seriously doubt you can see the black trim. It is definitely a cloak for a tall slim goth boy or girl. I stepped on the hem while walking and I am 5'10". So I think I made it for a person at least 6'.

What really makes Raven and I happy is that the black wool cloak makes the number 10. She had been able to sew up the silver and goldish cloak she had cut out previously. Since 10 was the number we had hoped to achieve for May everything is good. And we still have a week left. Which means I should be able to get my bog coat done and Raven will probably get one or two more cloaks done. Yeah we definitely will have over stock for Quad War. The only thing I haven't decided yet is if I am going to keep the gray wool I bought for myself or sell it. Raven thinks I should make myself a bog coat out of it. You see after washing it it shrunk horribly and now instead of a nice light gray it is more of a medium gray. That and I no longer have enough for a cloak. Oh well, I am sure I will decide something sooner or later on that note.
