She's Crafty

We have literally been the house of snot this last week. Seriously, we went through almost 3 boxes of tissues in one day the end of last week. I don't know what the heck this crud is, but it just does not want to go away! So we've been spending most of our time bored and indoors with the sniffles! We did get enough energy one day to make...

The boys were super excited when they saw a centipede outside a couple weeks ago so I came up with this idea to make them with an egg carton cut in half (similar to the caterpillar idea from Grandma Lizzie's website). It was definitely a fun project! Luke wanted his to have "REALLY BIG" eyes! So cut...

I haven't been successful in finding a preschool for Andy yet so I've started doing my own preschool with Andy at home during the week. (Ok, not finding a preschool was a good excuse to do it myself because I am loving it!) I'm trying to go for the "Letter of the Day" theme like on Sesame Street. I know I'm all crazy bargain shopper lately,...

They are still too young to understand the whole meaning of the fourth, but I thought introducing them to the red, white and blue colors and the American Flag was sufficient learning for preschool age. Luke got a little carried away on the painting so I had to help him....

I know that it appears that the left side of his face bulges out a little strangely and the mole looking thing on his cheek is supposed to be his dimple, but hey...I think he did pretty darn good. I'm loving the speckled freckles everywhere and I know any of us...

After Andy asked me a million times if we could do a project I agreed and thought this fish project would be quick and easy! I WAS SO WRONG!! Let's just say the tin foil cutting was NOT FUN!! Whatever you do, don't attempt to cut tinfoil while trying to cook dinner at the same time (I nearly burnt everything). I handled this project easily...

My boys' weekend consisted of happy meals at McDonald's with Grandma and Aunt Ashley, playing with Daddy all afternoon while Mommy had girl's day out with best friend Nancy, a long relaxing walk together as a family (of which when we got home Andy said, "You and Daddy talked a long, long time!") and making SILLY ROBOTS!!I just merely cut...
