But now that I am an adult and have to pay a medium size fortune for the privilege of being crushed in an extremely large crowd, it's not so appealing, although I'm sure I will have to get over that and take my deprived children one day. But good for you. Next time you go can you get me a show bag?
This is what I have been doing instead, thank you for asking.
Nursing sick children back to health, although as I type one is still at home unwell. They tag teamed illness all last week so that the only day they where both at school was Wednesday, the day I became seriously caffeinated. I think we are over the worst of the vomity fevers, and that is a good thing.
Started on this dresser! Yes, I am actually doing a project, it's an EKKA miracle. I was nervous about attacking this mahogany chest of drawers because it is a bit of an heirloom for Mr BC, but he is my biggest cheer squad. The french polish is already flaking off! It's only paint, if we hate it we can just take it off! It will look great, I have complete faith you can do an awesome job! God, I love that man. Let's see how the dresser goes. My first instinct with nice wood is to give it some love and showcase it, but we have so much woodwork in the house already and several pieces of polished wood furniture already..Still, I better not stuff this up. Jeez, no pressure!
I made some small batch jams - a straight Gooseberry and a Gooseberry Chili, with Thai chilies and a few jalapenos. Also some apple and onion. They both taste delicious, but look a bit like baby crap in a jar, so I will spare you that image.
Mostly, I have been thinking that this crazy monkey is turning 6 next week, and where did that time go I ask you? We are having a low key sausage sizzle in a local park after school, because that worked so well last year for his older brother. He is pretty excited to have a party, and it is the day of book parade so everyone will already be dressed up! Easy, and lovely.
Are you going to the Ekka? How do you feel about painted furniture?
