Labor Day

Labor day, though we're not "working" at our jobs has not been free from work completely. There's always laundry to do and errands to run. Today we went to the scrapbook store for the 5 and 10 cent sale, went to the beach to gather sand for James for his first grade class project about sand, paid a bill at the mall, and went to the fabric store to get some fabric for Rhett. Rhett is playing the devil...aka snake in our upcoming children's story this Sabbath. The story is about Adam and Eve and the fall. I have been elected to create a snake puppet. We found some great fabric there. It shouldn't take long to whip up a snake. While I was there I found the cutest pattern which I couldn't resist purchasing.
I was thinking about doing a fundraiser for my class and part of it would be to put on a play (that's not the fundraiser part...that would be free). Anyway when I saw this pattern I thought of the Rainbow Fish immediately. My kids love that book and can you imagine how cute they'd look up on stage in these adorable costumes. At least I only have 10 kids. I think these will be pretty easy to make.

After coming home, Rhett and I worked on uploading a Disney Princess scrapbook album that I made onto e-Bay. I'm just showing you one page of it, but we are hoping that we can sell it. I made it a while ago, but have not uploaded it until now. I think it turned out pretty well. Hopefully someone on e-Bay agrees.



Tonight we are going to Denny's house for a cook out. I'm not sure if we'll actually have a fire or use the microwave. It's been pretty hot around here so we probably won't feel like getting up close around a fire.
