  while in MN…

  my girl fell in love with American Girl,

  

  and after an hour M agreed to leave empty-handed, but with the promise that I would sew her some matching clothes “exactly like the American Girl stuff”,

  

  last night she remembered that promise,

  

  and today I kept my word (well, not exactly).

  to celebrate:

  S’s first week of grade 1 we headed to Chuck E. Cheese’s,

  

  and had the best day,

  

  ever.

  

  S got lucky,

  

  and hit the jackpot,

  

  as did M,

  

  hope you’re having a best day ever too!

  one more time :

  here is M’s school dress pressed and ready for tomorrow….

  

  it actually looks a lot better pressed which is why I’m posting another picture (that and it’s my first collar… if that’s not obvious)

  

  it feels good to be back at my machine. actually it feels great.

  lately:

  we’ve been enjoying this from the garden,

  

  and these from the vine,

  

  …and sometimes, a big brother is the best thing in the world.

  : eating :

  Off the Grid - imagine a mobile food court, with eight fantastic food vendors, parked in your neighborhood one night every week,

  

  we loved it,

  

  even M, who found herself some Mac n’ Cheese Spring Rolls from 3 Sum Eats,

  

  grab your neighbors and we’ll see you there next week!
