OK, there are tons of photos in this post, as I just couldn't choose the best ones. We have had a busy week-end, with fantastic weather (after such a horrible week!). It rained so much this week, and was so windy that our back fence is down. On Saturday morning we took Carmen to Milton for coffee, and then she spent the afternoon with her dad, as I had to give an art lesson and I had a face painting job too. Because of all the rain this week, Carmen's bucket of sand that she plays with in the back yard has turned into a bucket of sandy water, and she LOVES it. I came out of the house to find her standing in it with all of her clothes on, shoes too. So, she has had a couple of early pajama days, due to her being soaking wet. Today we took her to the park in Ulladulla, which is such a great park overlooking the harbour. Then this afternoon we took her to ride her tricycle at Mollymook Beach. She loved it, but was very serious about it! I don't think she smiled once.
This week Carmen also started her swimming lessons again, after taking the winter off. She was a little unsure of herself at first, but it didn't take her long before she was going under like a pro. She still thinks all food is hot, but now she also says "Ooooh" for cold. She has gotten very good at pushing her baby doll around in her baby doll stroller, and takes great pleasure in crashing into her Dad who pretends near-fatal injury. And that's about it for this week.
In other news, I am very excited to say that I am opening a gallery with two other artists, one also a painter, the other a furniture 'upcycler'. The gallery is called Shop 3, and I am hanging my work on Sunday, in a week. It is located in Milton, in a courtyard that also contains a potters gallery, a woodworkers gallery, and another co-op painting gallery. This is pretty much all I have ever wanted to do, so I can't believe it is actually happening! Wish me luck!
Here is a short but cute video of Carmen kicking a ball with her arms full:
