Yesterday was full of activity.
Between making dozens...and I do mean dozens...upon dozens of several types of cookies we had a soap making class.
We used glycerin, goats milk, and oatmeal as our base for the different soaps. Ender had been expressing interest all week in going so I took him along. It was fun for him to pick out a scent...thankfully we only had 3 to choose from....and a color to make his soap.
He surprisingly went for the gold color and cedar wood. I went the route of blood orange in the oatmeal and then Pepper (our friendly town "grandma") let me have one of hers that was a red and gold mix in the glycerin. It turned out quite pretty.
We had a really good time. The hardest part, at least for the little guy, was waiting for the soap to cool. But he managed well by going into the library and reading....it is nice to see him expressing interest in that outside of the time forced upon him by both mom and school.

how fun for you to be able to spend some "alone time" with Ender even though it was still with a group of ladies, it was time with just him.
sounds like you had a fun time...
