the sidewalk decorating will cease,
the summer suppers outside will end,
and Ms. Rose Mary will move in to her winter condo.
Chilly and wet here today. We’re considering a trip to the library this morning, then making these after naps (we found the recipe while printing some helpful things earlier today).
Yesterday was my free day, my day to run around doing whatever I like while the kids are in homeschool co-op/mother’s day out. Spent a lot of time thrifting but not finding (I was hunting cotton sweaters), but I did uncover a perfectly nice set of Childcraft from 1981. The “Make and Do” book is especially fun - oh those 80’s crafts! I’ll have to post photos if we can remember to hook up the scanner.
No big plans for the weekend, maybe out to breakfast in the morning, and then cleaning out the garage, which sorely needs organizing. Oh, and we’ll try to get to Union Station for the model train show. My sons could spend hours looking at these layouts (they are pretty cool).
happy weekending and fall equinox to everyone!
p.s. to all local moms: the new Caribou Coffee drive-thru on SMPkwy next to Antioch Library is giving out coupons for a free coffee with purchase. Just fyi for the caffeine fiends among us. (and the coffee is actually quite good).

I love how you contain your sidewalk chalk, so much better than the plastic tub it comes in.
Comment by beki September 22, 2006 @ 8:12 pmHappy fall to you and have a great weekend!
Ooh, the new coffee place has a drive through? They just sent me a coupon in the mail yesterday. I like the drive throughs now that I have to drag Elise in and out of a carseat!
It sounds like you had a leisurely day off! I think I may miss my next PDO (Elise has a cold).
Oh, and psst: I have an extra 2007 IKEA catalog if you want it.
Comment by amy h September 22, 2006 @ 8:17 pmThanks for the train show heads up. Maybe we can swing by Union Station on our way home from World of Fun on Sunday. I don’t think we’ll be doing the “open to close” WOF visit that we did when I was a child!
Have a great weekend!
Comment by laeroport September 22, 2006 @ 8:26 pmA bit nippy and dreary here too. Have a wonderful weekend..and hope you enjoy making the cookies as much as you’ll enjoy eating them.
Comment by Ingrid September 22, 2006 @ 9:01 pmNo Plaza Art Fair?
And Caribu Coffee is the place that use to sell hotdogs, right? We need (yes, *need*) a drive thru Starbucks around here. I think the closest is down at 151st and that’s *not* close.
Comment by capello September 22, 2006 @ 9:13 pmGreat chalk container and great table cloth! I’ll take a few of those baked goods, k? And also. I always see nice sets of addition/multiplication flash cards while thrifting, I could pick you up some if you want. ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up on the train show! My tiny train nut will be very interested.
I’m ready for Fall. :)
Comment by Alicia A. September 22, 2006 @ 11:02 pmI also love your container for sidewalk chalk. I will definitely have to do something like that. I love how it makes it look like a permanent feature, instead of a cluttered mess, which is what it ends up looking like at our house.
And, so much fun to find Childcraft books! I am torn between hoping I run into some soon, and not wanting to bring more stuff in to the house. I know when I find some, I won’t be able to resist!!!
