What a wonderful weekend....

There was a lot of lounging and medicating for a strep-throated, red-headed little boy.

 And a few more rounds crocheted on my rug using my newly dyed sheets.

There was earmarking of many things of interest on my boy's bed which was full of magazines.

Followed by a whole lot of  stapling, and organizing into categories such as crafting, gardening, housekeeping, family, inspiration, and cooking...for filing.

Which is where I found the recipe for these delicious cookies....(don't worry, I'll share the recipe soon.)

There was the sewing of a handy little gift and the making of another tutorial.

And the best part of the weekend (if you were to ask our boy).

A few inches of snow surprised us when we woke up on Sunday morning.  Just enough fluff to occupy a cabin happy boy who was feeling a bit better after a few doses of antibiotics.  He was craving some fresh air and we shoo-ed him outdoors even though it was overcast and sprinkling.

Usually there are requests for me or Fran to help, but today there were requests to do it all on his own.

There was whittling of heads.

And dressing of his new friend.  With his own hat and a scarf made from scrap fabric.

And a pretty proud little boy over a job well done.

But that wasn't the end of his snow-man making.

No siree-Bob.

There was to be "snow-son" making as well.

Father and son stood in the yard and as the rain threatened to wash them away... I asked Eben where the Snow-mama was.

To which he deadpanned me with...


" Sorry Mommy....I ran out of snow."


That's OK though, I am happy that they are as close as they are.  Father and son, snowy or not.

PS.

My twin sister is holding a Swap for a set of those gorgeous Measuring spoons that I got so many compliments on....


So, stop on over, if you are interested in a little swaperoonie.

What a wonderful weekend it was.

I hope that you all had as nice a weekend with your own loved ones.
