Crafty Giveaway

So my friend is doing another great giveaway and you can enter here. She is so creative and I want to be like her when I grow up! Here is what she created this time.

Evelyn the Cooker Girl

So while I was busy neglecting my child and our need to eat lunch while blogging, she put together a little surprise for me. She came downstairs, told me to stop typing, close my eyes and come upstairs. This is what I found (at 2 in the afternoon I'm ashamed to say). She has learned how to make her own quesdillas and corndogs (both take "5-0" seconds in the microwave) and the sweetie had made us lunch! I told her I would put it on the blog (ironic, huh?) and she suggested the title. My baby is growing up!

I think I am caught up now, so I better go pay attention to my kids. The big girls are home now and seem to have forgotten that they're supposed to be doing homework!

Aren't we trendy?

So here are the promised pics of Shawn and I in our new glasses. Shawn's look great and fit his"big heed" perfectly and mine have a cute little bit of bling on the side (though this isn't my best side).

And... I copied my friend Chelsea and we held elections for dinner last night. Shawn cast an absentee ballot since he wasn't with us after school and the girls were pretty excited to out-vote the grown-ups for once. Little do they know, Platform 2 will be served tomorrow night anyway.

The Master Weaver

Evie got a weaving kit from Grandma for her birthday and we got it out the other day after kindergarten. She did great setting it up and I showed her how to do the weaving and she just took off! I was amazed at how quickly she caught on and how perfectly she did it. I had to figure out how to get it off the loom, but she did all the weaving herself. Thanks for the fun activity Grandma! I found the finished product later hanging from her doorknob.

Activity Days Pumpkin

Felicity divided her pumpkin from activity days into three sections and decorated each section. One was a jack-o-lantern face, one some Halloween shapes and one the word pumpkin.

Random Pictures

Crafting on the kitchen floor - I'm not sure why, but they prefer to put the "plasti-crafti" tablecloth on the floor rather then the table.

My mother's day flower from preschool in May - it brings a bit of sunshine to the cool fall days.

My adaptation of the Boo sign on several craft blogs.

The colors we are using in Felicity's room - a work in progress.

Pumpkin Patch

Our trip to the pumpkin patch was bittersweet this year. We went to a new patch, and picked from the pumkins that were left. We always seem to go maybe a week too late and the "good ones" are all gone. It was a beautiful day at least and the patch had a hay maze and a red barn with homegrown produce samples. The watermelon was yummy, but we didnt get any because Shawn was already out the door. If it looks like he was a little grumpy, well he was. But I'm glad we got to go and he is a good daddy for bringing us and for carrying all the pumpkins to the car.
