​We have been so happy to see the sunshine these past few days.  Once again, we started our day outside and even ate lunch outside!  Tegan and Lou Lou spent time painting with water and watching their creations evaporate with in the sun.  The swing has been very popular.  Today, with Tegan's help, Lou Lou devised a system for getting herself on the swing.  There was some trial and error involved, but soon Lou Lou was soaring through the air!

Last Thursday, Lou Lou and Tegan began individual sewing projects.  Their big ideas include making blankets and pillow for their lovies.  They are using smaller pieces to create a patch work effect in their work.  Today Tegan finished a pillow for Saoirse  while Lou Lou patched together more pieces for her blanket.  Tegan understood that she needed to sew three sides of the pillow before adding any filling, or it would just fall out.  When she wasn't at the sewing machine, Lou Lou enjoyed examining the fabric and stitching with the digital microscope.  The two friends also created a quilt-like effect using materials on the light table.   Some stories (including one about a quilt) made our day complete.
