Our Fun Weekend!!

Our weekend has been a fun filled busy one. Jasmine came to spend the weekend with us and we have had such a good time. Friday night she got to stay up a little later than is normal and once in bed, she was out like a light.

Saturday we made pine cone bird feeders. We played outside, watched Tinker Bell, had tacos for dinner, and generally had a good time. Today we slept in. Then later we went outside and raked leaves. Oh my, what a chore! We did pretty good though. Together Jasmine and I pulled a large plastic tarp full of leaves out front 3 times. Then we worked on the front yard and the pile of leaves out front extends from my mail box to the edge of my yard and is about 4 ft high. The leaves are not done as yet, but we made a serious dent in them today!!

When we came in we got something cold to drink and watched Nim's Island, a very good movie. After the movie and some lunch we got busy working on subtraction flash cards. Jasmine did very well. Then my neighbors came over with an early birthday cake for me. It was actually a 'Dirt Pie' and boy was it good!!

After we came in again, from raking more leaves out front we made a small batch of chocolate covered cherries. Jasmine got to lick the spoon & ladel. She is going home tonight and I bet she will sleep like a log.
