I accidentally posted these pictures backwards, oh well. It is so easy to spend A LOT of time outside here. Not that we are getting tired of it, but we have been looking for fun things to do indoors that also provide an opportunity to get to know our neighbors and help us become recognizable in our community. Plus, we are trying to avoid skin cancer. We found Rebecca's this week - a coffee shop similar to Hartford (for those of you in STL). It is much more diverse that the little deli around the corner. When we went this week there were four men who were very likely homeless sitting at the outside tables playing chess. Supposedly they have the best scones in the city - we are just settling for the iced coffee and 25 cent brownies for the kids. I feel bad going the cheap route - after all they are trying to run a business. But we just aren't budgeted for pricey coffee drinks every other day of the week.
So during one stir crazy afternoon this week, we packed up this new little bag I just made (yes, with a sewing machine and everything!) with our crayons and paper and Go Fish and headed to Rebecca's. Great idea! We each worked on our own little projects. I cut out fake felt Fall leaves, because we have no real ones here and I keep forgetting it is Fall...my favorite season...remember all the Fall Festivals of yesteryear? Sad. I'll show you later what we did with the leaves.
Olivia drew her brother. Good likeness I thought.
Joseph mostly just made a mess of the brownie and ate a brown crayon he mistook for a brownie, but he did a fair bit of coloring as well...and puzzle working.
Olivia took most of our pictures. Her eyes looked so blue sitting there by that window, but it didn't turn out in the picture. She is still a cutie, sweaty, tootie.
