lazyNow Playing: the siren call of my sewing machine...
Photo volunteering only took three and a half hours, and was sooo much fun ! Only two of us showed up, which was the minimum needed, but we muddled through OK. I got to see a schoolfull of the sweetest, most adorable kids - and Dearest Son, my personal favorite ! - and it was an easy, fun job.
Surprisingly, they gave us a $25. credit on our kids' photos, so I ordered a small package and a calendar. We just had Son's photos done a few months ago, so we weren't up to ordering more just yet...not to mention, our school has you order and pay for the photos before you see them. I think it's backwards, but I'm sure they have reasons. Like with the book fair, another volunteering opportunity that I love, you get a freebie, but no one tells you about ‘em until you're there and workin'.
It's nice that they do that, but I kinda feel bad. I was there to help, not score free stuff. But it'd be more of a fuss to refuse, because the photographer and librarians are happy and pleased to offer. That's OK. I bet some of the other stuff I'm signed up for won't net me anything besides satisfaction - and that's fine with me !
I then came home and slept for three hours. It's been a busy week, but I didn't think I was that tired. Finished cleaning the dollhouse I bought Tuesday, and now it's ready to use. Leafed through the pattern catalog while Beloved Hubby and Son played Cars, found a simple outfit that'll look good with the confetti fabric. With material that busy, it has to be a clean-lined, no fuss, no frills garment !
Tomorrow, I don't have any volunteer work. Nothin' til late next week, when I officially become a Homeroom Mamma. So I'm gonna sew ! And maybe catch up on some much-neglected housework....naaah. I'm gonna sew first !
