It's a new era..

As part of our participation in AC (see previous posts for further info), Kalea had a fun afternoon together, just the girls. We met up with a few of my cousins and their friends for lunch at Holly's Soha Cafe and then we headed to Rhoda's Craft Fair.
I knew there were a few things I wanted to accomplish there today, but both of us (yep, a 6 year old and I), determined it was a day to peruse at length, all things crafty, sparkly and sweet. We got some brown sugar fudge for daddy and sammy, an elastic headband with a cutesie crocheted flower for Kalea and I picked up a piece of original photography by Sara Wormell to accent our bathroom reno. As usual, there were truckloads of knitted goods, toll painted signs, colorful cupcakes and plenty carvings, antiques and sweets in general. We had fun day.It was easy.
As a mother, it was a bit of a thrill to experience my very own daughter in a new, un-charted light. She was charming our fellow shoppers and vendors with the giant gap where two front teeth used to preside and having patience,yes, patience with the whole outing. It's almost like we have entered a new era of life where I can take one of my children to an event we both enjoy, can hold out for food and drink for more than 1 hour and where no monkey bars, slide or swings exist!
