Christmas at the Castle and a Little Creativity

She loves anything from another era. She designs Victorian and other period clothing for fashion shows and lavishes in the history of places like this. We booked this tour knowing she'd love it... and my dad thought it was pretty interesting too :)

That night, our girls hot-glued :) outfits for the dolls Dad and Iris gave them. A little handmade project is just the thing these kiddos love and the fashion designer herself inspired their creativity (Thanks, Iris!).

Meeting At The Castle

She called me from the dentist's office and she had that eager, yet hesitant tone to her voice that I recognized immediately. She bumbled over details of the dental visit but I was waiting for what she really called for because this friend, she knows we have twin hearts of spontaneity. Finally, she exclaimed that she was going to swing by Dundurn Castle and would we like to meet them there? I did a quick mental assessment of where we stood in terms of schoolwork, who was fully dressed--had everyone eaten? That took all of about three seconds and then I blurted, "Yes! Meet there in half an hour?" And so we did.

Another date to remember--meeting at the castle together--for this little homeschool group.

Thanks, Sandee, for your fun and spontaneous spirit :)
