My boys just ran around and played with other kids and at the park. Friday they went swimming with another lady and her kids. Saturday I took the boys swimming and got myself a hot shower!
I had long chats with one of our newer members. He is an interesting guy. The weather mostly held out other than the thunderstorm on Friday night.
I took a few classes and pretty much sat around. We did go to the bardic circle, the kids really seem to enjoy that.
Friday night I felt ill and didn't go to visit with Nagamochi at the Cheshire Archers campsite. I wandered over on Saturday but couldn’t find the camp and my stupid shyness kept me from asking around.
I posted as much to the Tousando board and Makiwara sent me a message basically saying that I should make the effort because many of the people she met who do Japanese are really cool people worth getting over my shyness to meet.
This weekend I think I am going to go to the movies. I've not been since Ironman and am itching to see several out right now. My sisters are going to Batman tonight and I think I will go with them. Mom has offered to watch the kids but I think they all want to see it too. It's nice that they are all 10 and up and pretty much able to see (and enjoy) most of the movies I am interested in. Actually now my youngest does not want to see Batman, he gets scared easily. We did go see Hellboy II last night and we all liked it.
The hubby is working today so we might go to mom and dad's cabin for a visit and let the kids splash around in the lake.
In other news I bought a new car last week before WW. It is a 2005 Ford Escape and I like it so far. Except that it gets worse gas milage than my Tarus but I knew it would. I needed more room for hauling SCA stuff.
In garb news. I want to do Japanese and so I have scoured the internet, purchased and read many books, squinted at pictures. In the end I am chicken I guess so I ordered Kass Mcgann's patterns at http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/ and have my mom on board for sewing help. I want to have something completed by Clothiers Seminar North on November 8th.
