Sunshine...

After lots of rain, we had a weekend full of sunshine! It started with Friday, graduation at the pre-school where I work. It was a bit crazy. The children sang "This Little Light of Mine" and a few other songs. We had a picnic outside afterward. I made butter cookies...schools, little matroshka and dogs. I love using the edible Wilton pens on frosted cookies.Hannah and Olivia gave Aunt Mary the spa treatment (foot soak, hand massage, painted toenails, etc) after we rode bikes and walked for a couple of hours...there were lots of yard sales (we bought a marble run and I got a pretty skirt)! Then, we went to Aglamesis to enjoy ice cream in honor of Emmelia's namesday.Isaac walking with his Godfather, Uncle Andrey...so sweet how he's looking up to him!I got the raspberry hot fudge sundae with coconut ice cream. That is Emma...she didn't eat that whole thing...she shared!
I was happy to be a part of the 22Q worldwide awareness day. I painted faces in the sunny perfect weather (there was pleasant breeze, too, thankfully) yesterday for a couple of hours!We played Scrabble last night. I love word games...Jotto is another one of my favorites!
