My Day-To-Day Photos

We picked up Ethan and Elise in Yorkton on the 25th of August.  The plan was to spend lots of time crafting with Elise while the boys did their thing - video games (mostly). We succeeded in the crafting department and sent quite a few items home with Elise. I spent a lot of time getting her started on learning to crochet. She had brought some shells that she had recently picked while visiting her Auntie Jonie, so we scoured the yard for a few rocks and I fashioned a mobile connected with wire for her. We made paper worms and had "nermal races". We included the boys in playing a board game every night. Three nights of Carcassonne and 1 night of King of Tokyo.
