Pumpkin Party

 The boys finished as quickly as possible so they could return to doing this.

 

Statue of a Snow Dog

 I love little girls. They love to craft and create and make homemade gifts.  I received this from Mallory for my anniversary last week.  She used some flowers my sister-in-law gave her from her etsy business.  It says, "Happy 16th Anniversary Mom.  I Love you."

 

And today she made this creation for my birthday from ribbon, crayons, a hardened eraser, a jingle bell, and lots of glue.  It says, "Happy 35th Brthay Mom."

 

 And then Ross called me into the sun room/craft room to look at her work space.  It appears she thinks the floor is painted with chalkboard paint.  It's not.  And that's not chalk.  It's crayon.

 

But she came up with perhaps her most unique creation a few weeks ago.  She found her "craft supplies" in a drawer in my bathroom.  Elizabeth was mortified.

She titled this "Statue of a Snow Dog."

 

There is never a dull moment in this house.

There's A New Sherriff In Town

When Drew was younger, I always expected him to act goofy or uncooperative or crazy any time I wanted family pictures.  When I set the timer, I expected to take about ten shots to get a decent one thanks to his antics.  See?

 

 

 

Fortunately I think he is starting to out grow that.  Thank goodness, because it was really annoying.  Unfortunately, Mallory is following in his footsteps.  After looking at group photos, I've been finding these gems of her.

 

Fabulous.

Mornings With Lucy

...are filled with cottage cheese (sometimes she has it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!)...

 

 

...followed by Brave (or Tangled or Tarzan or Nemo)...



...and dress-up...

...and the park!

 

I have the best job in the world.
