So week 2 came and went.\u00a0 Way too fast I’m thinking, especially since here it is, Monday morning of week 3, and I’m just now remember to post about last week!\u00a0 So much went down… Lets see…<\/p>\n

Last weekend (Aug 21-22) I spent making a DIY loom for us to use with BigBoy & PinkDiva’s history lesson.\u00a0 It turned out awesome!<\/p>\n

The loom itself is made from a Cross Stitch Frame, the kind you can use to turn your fabric into a scroll. \u00a0 The frame was too short to make an effective loom though, so we cut the bars in half and attached them to small pieces of scrap wood.\u00a0 The rigid-ish, and I say “ish” because there is a lot of flex & bend, heddle is made of two pieces of plastic canvas, cut and stitched together.\u00a0 The shuttle in the picture is made of cardboard, but DH has since made a nicer one out of thin wood for us to use.<\/p>\n

BigBoy was thrilled to give weaving a try.\u00a0 ThePinkDiva had tried weaving in a class at the Cultural Arts Center last year, and fell in love with the art form.\u00a0 BigBoy is still a bit young, and doesn’t quite get the hang of it…\u00a0 but PinkDiva loves to weave.\u00a0 This time we’re making a small green blanket.\u00a0 But now that we have a loom, I see plenty of doll blankets in our future.\u00a0 Pinkdiva is even talking about stitching a few pieces together to make a bigger blanket.\u00a0 Should be fun.<\/p>\n

Thursday, thePinkDiva began vision therapy.\u00a0 I don’t think I’ve ever explained that one anywhere online, so it really needs it’s own blog post.\u00a0 Soon.\u00a0 I hope.<\/p>\n

Friday was spent at the Podiatrist’s office.\u00a0 Because I messed up my foot. Everyone got their Math tests done, and that was it.\u00a0 I was too worn out\/in pain to do much else.<\/p>\n

Then, on Saturday, Soccer Season officially kicked off.\u00a0 One night a week for practice, and then games on Saturday.\u00a0 Should be fun.\u00a0 BigBoy is thrilled because this is the first year he’s actually part of a team, instead of the “Tots”.\u00a0 Geekboy discovered at least 3 friends from last year’s team on his new team.\u00a0 So even though he is the shortest guy on the team, and playing in the 10-12 division (he’s only 9, but they didn’t have enough 8-9 boys to make a team in that division), he’s looking forward to a great season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
