Carlene's Visit So Far....

Carlene arrived on Tuesday and she's already read Dimestore--and loved it!

Yesterday, she and Elena had a lot of time to play, Elena dressing up in a hybrid of costume parts, a mermaid with Tinkerbell wings and a joker's hat.


While I made pavlova for dessert, Carlene and Elena decorated Elena with ribbons for Fiesta, on her toes and ankles:

After school, Nathan came with his mother to pick up Elena and they had so much fun playing with Makken and Sebastien next door. For about an hour, Elena and Makken stood in chairs at the sink washing everything they could find:


Today, Carlene and I are going for a drive to see wildflowers.
