Last Friday was a PD day for Miss V...which is great with us!! We got to have her for the whole day...a sleepover and a trip to the cottage on Saturday!!
After her bike ride with her Papa, she got busy on raking up the few leaves that were left here at home...
After that...the baking began...
We made a loaf and 6 cupcakes...she allotted one raspberry and 2 chocolate chops to each cupcake!
After lunch, she iced one cupcake and added some sprinkles!!
After that, she put together a craft I had picked up for her at Michael's....a Snowman door hanger...she was very quick at making this!!
We were at the $ store, and then at the mall...Santa's Village was all set up, but no Santa yet...she also wanted to ride the escalator with me...
Friday night we had a fire, and watched a few Christmas shows...
In the morning, we got ready, and headed out to the cottage to meet Uncle Ryan, and put up the last porch shutter...the weather was 10c, but very dark and damp...the beach was quite eroded, from the brisk winds last week...Miss V tried to make a sand castle, but the sand was full of pebbles and kinda soggy!!
She does love the beach though!!
As you can see above, all of the Maple leaves are down...looks pretty bare, eh??
But...the Birch I planted at the road side, is still looking pretty fine with her yellow leaves hanging on...
I was lucky enough to find 2 treasures on the beach that day...
A very large piece of blue beach glass...
And a heart shaped stone...
The Milkweed on the beach, was putting on a great show...
Tiny rain droplets on the silk...
Love finding these to photograph...
For some reason, I did not have as many volunteers on the beach this year...
The sun tried to come out...but only peeked thru the thick clouds...
We were hardly out of the driveway, when I looked back at Miss V...💓
She was out like a light for about 45 minutes...With her gloves and toasty vest on...such a sweetie...love when they get all tired out from running around and having fun...
We delivered her home safely to her Mommy...they were happy to see each other 💘
Hope you are all well...enjoying the last of Fall...and to my American friends, hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend...I am sure you are all decorating for Christmas now!! I must get started myself...think I will start with my staircase...that always gets me in the spirit...
I have not done any shopping...just been crocheting a few things for the kids...
Lots of time....right??? hahaha!!
Enjoy the rest of your week...
Cheers! :o)
