Quiet House

Its been a busy weekend here. Saturday we all took part in the Schenectady County 4H Cabin Fever Day. I worked with 1 cloverbud to make homemade tootsie rolls and felted soap. Brian and I worked together to help the kids make breakfast for lunch-quiche, home fries and baked apples. Maddie took the woodworking class and made a bookshelf.

Bookshlef done and waiting for paint or stain.

Sunday morning Maddie and I went to church and helped with the inter-generational valentine lunch. I made pea soup and helped to serve and clean up. Maddie helped to set up and ate with the seniors, something she always enjoys. Then it was off to Camp Fowler for winter camp! She was so excited. Her friend Norah was coming along and she knew another friend from church, Becca, would be there too. When we arrived we discovered that all 3 girls were in the same room! Double yay!

see the white stuff on the ground...snow! We found some! 

They are in the Fawn Lake room.

Schedule! Busy, busy! 

The final "oh lets just be quiet, let them take a picture and get the out of here" shot.

Today is also Valentine's Day! Brian and I treated ourselves to dinner at Lanzi's on the Lake on our way home. The lake was out there somewhere but it was too dark to see! The food was good and we enjoyed it. Earlier in the week Brian sent me some flowers. I gave Brian his hat yesterday since the temperatures have fallen dramatically into the single digits with nasty below zero wind chills. 

hat modeling! 

beautiful orchids!

And now we have an oh so quiet house! Maddie will be home soon bubbling with stories of all that happened so we will enjoy the quiet for now. Happy Valentine's Day!
