So I've been trying to find as much craft stuff
as I can. It's been hard here. Unfortunately the
island is pretty limited in that department.
There is a big market for scrapbooking - but
I'm not a scrapbooker. I just like to collect the
paper :}
But there have been some craft fairs going on
this week - so I decided to grab our friends
Chelsea and Ava - plus Dmitri - and go check
them out!
The one today was at the Dole Cannery downtown.
I was excited when I first read that because I
had it in my head that the Dole Cannery was
across the street from the Dole Plantation - which
meant we could make a stop for pineapple sorbet!
Well.... no. It wasn't there. It was downtown in
Honolulu - but luckily we made it there with
out too much incident. I'm sure I peeved off
quite a bit of people though :}
{the California driver comes out in me when I drive downtown:}
So we got there. It was supposed to have 60 booths,
but only 2 or 3 really had what I went for - so
that was a bummer :[ We did take home some good
ideas, so we'll have to replicate them.
Dmitri was not having the craft fair. No. He was
over it so fast - even lunch didn't make him
happy. Hmm. So I picked up some kettle corn for
Daniel and off we went.
Daniel got off at 3 today - so that made things
better for him today!
I love when he's off early. Or better yet - off.
Tonight was our ward Thanksgiving dinner. I
had entered the pumpkin bake off. There were
two categories; pies, and non-pies. I did the no-pie
category. I opted to make pumpkin creme puffs
which were surprisingly easy and kind of fun! I will
be making more - and trying different fillings!
{if you attempt to make them - double the powdered sugar for the filling}
I haven't heard who won yet. We had to skip out
because we had tickets to see New Moon!
Yea - but the dinner was great. There was a really
good turn out.
Dmitri was a little wired, so Daniel and I took
turns chasing him.
I ran up and down the halls with him - literally.
So that burned a good amount of energy!
Yes - so sitter for Dmitri - and New Moon for Daniel
and I! We bought tickets earlier in the day - and
lost track of time at dinner - so there was a bit
of a rush to get to the theater and find 4 seats
together {along with Chelsea and Nate}. But we
did!! We made it with time to spare - and had 4
seats together!
Okay - movie was good. I'm torn on teams now,
but after seeing how fantastic Jacob looked - I
am heavily leaning to team Jacob. And how could
you not - that Jacob was gorgeous!
Please nobody leave me angry comments! X}
But it was great. I'm still confused as to the comedy
level of the movie. The audience we were with
laughed at everything. Everything. It was a little bit
odd.
Anyways. Dmitri slept pretty good for his sitter,
and fell right back to sleep once we got home. Not
one peep from him - and he was pretty awake
when I laid him in his crib. So relieved!
Daniels off tomorrow - so there might be more
craft fairs in my near future.
Right now I'm about to fall asleep on the spot,
but I have a sink full of dishes calling my name.
Depressing.
Oh who am I kidding. I'm off to bed. G'nite!
Apparently he's reverting back to baby mode....
I wont lie. This drives me nuts. Almost as nuts as
him constantly turning the air conditioner off. Almost.
{turning on and off the lights - I don't care about the pacifier}

I think that you should be in a craft fair. Sell your cute plaques and things you make for Dmitri and everyone else. I think you would make lots of moola.
ReplyDeleteI agree about team both. Though I must say Jacob does look fantastic so that does give a little more weight his direction. Mmmm...
