What we are up to!

I LOVE libraries!!  We circulate between three libraries that are 5-25 min. away.  One little library down the road was hosting a "Titanic Night."  


 When we arrived we were each given our "tickets"  Each ticket had a name of a person that was really on the Titanic.

We got to sample food, listen to music and take a quiz about how much we knew about the boat.  We then watched a short film, listened to a talk, had a few hands on experiments about ice and water and they concluded with a raffle drawing.  At the end they called everyone's name on their ticket .When they called your name you got a paper with your picture and information on whether you survived or not.  It was a fun Friday night!
 On Saturday both Owen and Meg had games.  Owen's  team is doing really well. Meg's team not so much.  She lost 7 to 0 but when she got in the car she said, "Mom, it was great!  The ball never even came near me and Taylor so we made up a secret hand shake and just had a great time chatting!"

 Meg and I attended a Mother/Daughter Tea on Sat.  held at the chapel .
 Guess who showed up.... her BFF from Soccer!! We had no idea she would be there!!
 The speaker is a personal style consultant.  She gave lots of fashion and beauty tips.  This was right up Meg's ally.
 They had a fashion show

 And lots of treats!  It was fun.  Meg had a color analysis done and the lady said, The outfit she is wearing is "spot on".  Meg is great with fashion!
 On Sunday I heard about a tulip festival at a town down the road so we headed out.  The weather was dreary but it gave us something to do.   Here they are making ice-cream.
 They had this cool windmill
 A petting zoo
 and some cool bubbles
 I love how boys "repair" broken hockey sticks
 It rained yesterday for the first time in months.  We are so grateful.  There have been lots of fires here in KS.  We see and smell the smoke daily.
 Haircut for Meg
 Owen used some of his saved up money and bought a new band for his fit bit that Mimi gave him.
 There was a wedding at the Chapel down the road.  I was out walking so I snapped a few shots





and another week is marked off the calendar!!
