I just finished up Madeline's costume. Hopefully when she is dressed tonight I can get some pictures and post them up on here. She will be Hermione Granger and I made her robe and scarf. She's had her hair up in braids since last night - trying to get the wavy effect without curling.
She finished up school for the week while I was sewing. I'm so thankful for this time that I have with her. She is such a joy to be around.

New Experience
Yesterday I tried something new. Since I homeschool and yesterday was a "teacher's work day", after I finished preparing for our second semester, I did my first cooking day for a mini OAMC. I was really shocked at how well it went. Madeline got in the kitchen with me and took time to chop the onion and peanuts, as well as drain all my beans and can chicken. She was such a good helper. We started cooking at 1 and we were completely finished by 5. I thought 4 hours was pretty good. I froze 12 meals. I am hoping that I can report back daily as to the quality, and hopefully everything will be wonderful. I'm already starting to plan my menu for my second cooking day.
