Thankfulness...Day 81

What a day....this was one of those days that come along every once in a while and I just bask in the glory of it for about a week after.  Robin and I both had a holiday yesterday and today.  Today I finally felt up to leaving the house.  We went to Hobby Lobby, Michael's, the mall (GASP!), and the grocery store.  
Once we got back home, Robin and I settled into our crafty groove and watched some quality television (Judy Moody and Bad Dog).  Robin made several multicolored spiders to add to our Halloween decor, 

and I started on her hand painted Toms.  I have one shoe finished, but I have not been able to convince her that the one shoe painted, one shoe plain look in totally in this season.  She is insisting on two painted shoes.  

I also worked on some of my fall themed wreaths.  I am having so much fun rerouting my teachery craftiness into basic crafty goodness.  I found this wreath on etsy and have made a halloween one, two fall ones, and once I get the right green yarn I will be starting on a christmas version.  

I also made some duct tape flower pens to add to a birthday gift that I dropped off this afternoon.  The pens didn't take long to make at all and they are soooooo cute!

In other news...my mom made it home from Vegas in one piece...with some amazing stories.  What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall for one of the infamous "Sister trips."  As is the norm with our family the trip home from the airport took about 6 hours instead of 45 minutes, but Mimi was already to a pretty good place about the whole ordeal.   I love it when I don't have to be present when things fall apart, and I get to see the hilarity in the retelling of the experience.  
So Robin and I split the day between relaxing and being productive and now we are waiting for our baked potatoes.  Tomorrow...it is back to business as usual...for now at least


Love to all
Sarah


Quote of the day

Another Adventure with Tiny Batman

I burned my knee on the concrete taking this picture.  OUCHIE!

Can you see our tiny hero?  On top of the 'R"

I was too scared to trek to the bottom with her...but we went back the next morning.

I climbed this mountain on our next visit...but those pictures are trapped on a camera without a cord.

Soaking our hot tired feet.

Batman needed a soak too!

Robin's foot is on the left...mine is on the right...the blob next to my foot is tiny batman's print.

Can you see the rainbow in the lower left corner?

I took this from the bottom...wahoo me!

Robin was proud of me too!

I found these pictures and I can't believe I forgot to post them here.  Robin and I took Tiny Batman to the Water Gardens here in Fort Worth.  It is such an amazing place.  There is a place to soak your tired feet in complete silence...a place to get lost in a cacophony of sound...a concrete mountain to climb...and a grouping of 40 small fountains to create wonderful rainbows!  It was beyond hot, and by the time we left Robin and I both needed showers and about 175 ounces of ice cold water, but it was an amazing experience!  Robin and I have been trying to find free experiences around town, and this was one of our favorites.
