Thats from last Wednesday, the day of 3 parks!

First, we had our LLL meeting. Afterwards, a few of us went to the park across the street and had a picnic lunch.
Then we headed over to our homeschool park day at another park. We were there for a while, then we went and picked up a CSA veggie share for friends who were out of town. From there, we drove up to Evanston to pick up *our* CSA share of chickens and eggs. But, we got there about 45 minutes too early. So, we played at the school playground across the street from our pickup spot. Unfortunately it started to rain kind of heavily, so then we had to wait a bit in the car, too.

Thursday we had our playgroup at Lisa’s house. We decorated bikes and trikes and had a parade. Friday, my brother came over and we went to the beach with Jill and Tony and Trap and Owl. I was surprised that the beach was not crowded at all. We set up my sunshade, and though it was sunny, it was also windy and kind of cool. We had fun playing though.

The rest of the weekend was pretty chill. I had to replace the cell phone I dropped in the toilet. UGH. Annoying.

Today I tie dyed some stuff and ZIbby helped alot. I dont know what it is about tie dye, but I sure do love it. I love the whole process. The mixing of the dye. The tieing of the clothes. The application of the colors. The only thing I dont like is waiting for it to cure!

I also made Zibby a shirt n skirt combo with some pink camo fabric she picked out. She wore it all day, so thats a good sign. I just love seeing her in something I made! I am super excited to do more tie dye later this week with our playgroup. I;ll post pics later :)
