Crafts

Maibel and I have been getting REALLY excited for Halloween time so we can start doing some Halloween crafts. We have quit a few picked out to do and I don't think I can wait any longer to start them, so we may be starting some of them today! But, we have been working on a few other crafts that we wanted to share with you.

First is Maibel's sock puppet. She is extremely proud of this and it is SO cute, I had to share it with everyone.

Next is Maibel's wood bears she painted. The rainbow one is named "Rainbow" and sits by her alarm clock. The pink one is named "Little Kari" and has to be in Kari's lap at all times (not at night though because Kari has to sleep with Mai every night.) I thought that fact that she wanted to paint one like Kari was very creative and smart. She's so cute.

Next is strickly for Rhonda. Here is my first attempt at those flowers we were wanting to make. I found this adorable fabric at Wal-Mart! The more I make, the better they turn out. These were my first so they really aren't that great. For the rest of you, here is an awesome tutorial on how to make these.

We have been working on a lot of hair bows/hair flowers but that would have to be a whole other post because I have been making WAY too many. Also, have been making tons of toys/treats for Hermes. I should start taking pics of some of those too. 

I did cover a shoe box with paper to hide all our computer cords. It's not the cutest thing but SO SO much better than all those ugly cords every where.

And This really is just so Hariella can see it. ( it comes off very easily if you don't want it anymore when you get home.)

The Frog and The Book

So this morning Maibel decided to write a book. It is a book about the seasons and yes, she did it ALL on her own. It is SO cute and she is extremely proud. She keeps telling me "I just can't believe I wrote my first book."

Hermes has this stuffed animal frog that he loves! It is suppose to look something like this but its a well loved toy and so no longer looks even close to this.

He carries it around all the time. He was watching out the front window when Brent came home from work(like he always does, if you can't tell by the nose prints all over my window) and when he left, he left the frog sitting there. It was so cute I had to share it with you!
