A different Sunday

1. Benjamin drew this for me..... heart melting... aaawwwwww

 2. This is either freaky or awesome. I was watching Fringe and all the sudden I see this. Apparently Edina is a town in New York? Never would have guessed.

3. I made my first woven box.

It is made out of junk mail. Not very strong, but I was just experimenting with the technique. 

It turned out pretty good actually... now I will have to find some stronger material to make bigger ones. 

4. Benjamin and I were by ourselves today. Husband is gone all day in Pietracatella with the guys. 

it was a beautiful day, so we decided to take a late afternoon walk {exploring}.

5. We had a long video chat tonight with the family in Michigan. 

Benjamin was incredibly goofy and excited... I could hardly hear a word with him doing "his thing" next to me. He was just excited to see his grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncles. 

But things got REAL crazy after his little 7 year old cousin arrived. They were making faces and weird sounds and laughed laughed laughed.... ;)

6. Benjamin and I went to the nearby church today with friends. There was Sunday school for the kiddos, but only girls were there today so Benjamin changed his mind and came back to me. 

He was a sleepy head so he was resting his head in my lap for most of the service. He was drawing a little bit too. He is getting so skillful in holding the pen in the right way. 

7. I NEVER post cute outfit pictures of myself.

Mostly because 1. I am not exactly the model type 2. I don't think my wardrobe is that awesome. 

In America I used to have A LOT of clothes. Most of them were given to me for free or from the thrift store. Either way, there was NO WAY to bring them over here.... I only had two suitcases to fill. Which is funny because only my shoes and bags would have filled a whole suitcase. 

Anyhooooo......

I don't have a lot of clothes here in Italy. I haven't seen a thrift store yet, not even in the city.... and in the regular shops clothes are EXpensive. 

All that to say, I wore this to church today and I thought it was so cute! 

Love mixing polka dots and stripes. 

{my skirt is cut off, but it was navy blue)

All right. Gotta get some homework done yet so I'm gonna split.
