Woof. I am tired. And cold. Yesterday was warm, today is freezing. Making up your mind, Mother Nature! (Psst: And pick 'warm.')
Yesterday, yesterday, let's see, let's see... Well, other than taking Chloë to her ballet class, we really didn't have anywhere to go or anything much to do. We were supposed to go to Barnes & Noble for the Point O' View PTA night, but Rob's sick and didn't feel like going. So we didn't. And I didn't have to watch Jade, so it was a pretty low-key day.
Although I did manage to score this pupitre (student desk) off Freecycle. I've been wanting to get one just like it, so Chloë could sit next to me and work on her homework. It's perfect! We'll paint it sometime when the weather's a little warmer, at least on the top. 
The little ones were very interested in it, too. She was quite distracted last night while doing her work. Hopefully the novelty will wear off soon!
And then I made this. Well, I made the origami cups the night before last, but I put the ribbons on and assembled the whole thing last night, with Chloë's help. It's for Advent! Each cup has a fun activity and a candy for each of the kids . The fish and flower are just there to dress up the hanger. :p I couldn't think of what else I had to hang them on - a shower curtain rod was suggested from the kids' activity email I got the idea from, but where would I put that?! Not that I really want to go out and buy one...
Then I started coloring on one of the t-shirts we'd picked up from Michaels when they were on sale for really cheap, with the fabric markers we'd also gotten. We have two shirts for each of the kids, so we're doing a sort of team thing on one set. I did "S. ODETTE" and the number "2" on the back of Sophie's. It took a while, so I only did hers. It looks cute. I'll show them when all three are finished. Hopefully they won't bleed off in the wash!
That's about it. I'm off to scrounge for breakfast. Enjoy your day!
Fin.
