Rielee's dinos

Rielee came to stay with me this morning instead of going to her basketball camp since she had a little cough. She wanted to do a craft so we headed to Michaels for supplies. On the way she talked me into going to Ross first to look for some dinosaurs (she is studying dinos in school). We found one small set and another package of 4 to paint. At Michaels she decided to get cards and stickers to make Valentines, particularly for Kyle (it is funny that she still thinks about Kyle, even though he has been away at college for so long). I had to talk her out of several gifts she wanted to buy for him, then she started finding things she wanted to buy for her Mom (missing Mom since she will be gone till Monday). Then she wanted to stop at Joann's to look at more crafts supplies. Most everything she wanted there was too expensive though, so we just bought a few more stickers for the cards. She and I had not been shopping for a long time so it was fun seeing what she liked, oh, and she really wants a new blanket, she showed me at least a dozen different fabrics that she "loved". After the card-making, she wanted to play with the marbles so we had a play session of "restaurant" and she played the role of the owner of the "Coffee Place", I was the customer.

We also found some big dinosaurs at Michaels and a dinosaur playmat. We started painting a couple of dinos but will have to finish them another time since she had to go home before we could finish.
