Finishing Up

 remember the 'cloth paper' I showed you last week?

or was it the week before?

Well, I have had fun this week

constructing an 'Acorn House' 

for Charlie.

I'm sure there isn't such a thing as an

Acorn House -

except in Charlie and MiMi Land.

We have always been fond of 

collecting acorns,

and our collection really did need a home.

So, I created this house 

using 20 gauge wire as the supports,

and then covering it all with the

cloth paper I had made.

We had a visit with them (the grands and their parents)

 the other evening,

and when our daughter saw how very fragile

the Acorn House was,

she cautioned me that Charlie is only 2

(well, in his defense, he'll be 3 next month!).

I told him the house was very fragile

and he'd have to be very careful with it.

He carried it like it was spun glass!

I overheard him showing it to his Dad,

telling him that it was very fragile and

'be careful!'

It was a great learning experience for me.

Even if it doesn't survive for a week,

I learned a lot,

and Charlie had the fun of receiving it

and playing with it for a while.

I also got to give Maggie her hat.

I think she likes it -

what do you think?

Our weather has turned unseasonably cold!

The kids had a nice fire in their fireplace

Charlie loves a good fire -

and of course if there are S'mores,

that's even better!

Maggie is just happy to be!

thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

peace to you and yours!
