This was a good week; Alex came up to spend the three-day weekend with me and we had lots of fun, going to the zoo and the swimming pool, eating ice cream, and playing with the dogs. He's such a hoot!
Becky adopted two retired research guinea pigs from the university and I took them to her this weekend. They poop a lot but are super adorable little potatoes. They are now named Fudge and Coconut.
Alex drew a great picture for me to give to the vet at work thanking her for letting us adopt them. <3
The zoo had a fun exhibit of dinosaurs (both animatronic and skeletons) installed in the butterfly garden which was a fun thing to walk through.
All the dogs are doing great, Spooky has been eating the apple tree constantly. Alex loves playing with him, so we had lots of fun with that too.
That is not a stick. That is a broken branch he retrieved from the apple tree. Sigh.
Alex asked if he could use the sewing machine, so I helped him make this little banner. He stitched it all, front and back together and then stitched down the letters and did the top stitching. The sewist in me was so excited, but the science nerd wasn't sure about the message. He was super cute though, when finished he only wanted me to take a picture of the back because he wanted to surprise his mom with it at school on Tuesday.
I hope everyone is having a good week! Click over to LeeAnna's for more things to like!
Cute GP and the drawing is precious. Oh the dino garden looks fun. Love that he wanted to sew. Spooky, maybe he likes the apple wood flavor. LOL
ReplyDeleteFudge and Coconut look pretty cute - great names for them! How fun to have your nephew there, and that exhibit at the zoo sounds like fun, too. I live that you sewed with him!
ReplyDeletePiggies! They look utterly squeezable! Love that drawing, too. The dinosaur is awesome! Great job on the banner.
ReplyDeleteSure sounds like a wonderful time was had by you both. His drawing is very good and how great he got to sew too. Spending time with children is always fun, and with the dogs too of course.
ReplyDeleteThat dinosaur roaming the butterfly house looks like something from Jurassic Park. Love it! Congratulations on blooming a young sewist. I think that's wonderful!!
