Snow sculptures

So it was nice and warm out today, so the 2 older girls wanted to play outside during naptime. I filled some spray bottles with colored water for them to spray the snow and then they wanted my help building a few things. I don't know what order the pictures will show up, but there is a crocodile, a cat, a penguin and a dolphin sort of thing. ;) We had fun tho!

Tiny monkey curtains

I had some leftover monkey fabric so I decided "L" needed a little window treatment in his room. It's little, but I did what I could with what I had! I think it's just enough to complete the room. :) Sorry the pic is kinda dark, it looks better on the phone. :)

Mommy's little helper

The past couple of weeks "R" had been extremely excited and eager to help me with dishes. Of course she just loves the water, but she helps too! She rinses and scrubs the dishes and then hands them to me to put in the dishwasher. I didn't let the other girls start helping with them till they were older, but I guess I should have because they actually might like helping me with them now. Oh well, I guess dishes can be our thing. ;)

Banks

I made the girls each a three way bank. A spot for tithing, savings and spending. I just used plastic yogurt containers and hot glued them together, then added scrapbook paper and ribbon. I'm pretty excited with how they turned out! Hopefully we can start a little bit of allowance now and teach them how to manage their money.

Wall makeover!

For our anniversary we took the girls to my mom's house and stayed home to get some things done! The number one thing on my list was to get rid of the, wait for it, CARPETED Wall. Yep, that's what I said. Our wall right when you walked in the door had carpet on it. I have had an idea for the wall for some time now, but never the actual time to do it! So after taking the carpet off and fixing a minor dent that the carpet was hiding, we got it painted and finished! Hopefully the before and after will show up in the right order. ;)

Fish!

The kids got some fish for Christmas! "E"'s fish is the dalmation one, she named it Flower. "W"'s is the Orange one named Creama Creamy Hannah. We call her Creama. ;) And we did have a little one for "R", but sad to report he is already gone...but the others still seem to be healthy and happy!

Christmas 2012

Since getting off of Facebook, I have decided to get back into blogging now, from the phone! We'll see how it does. I guess I'll go back to Christmas for a start! The kids looked great the Sunday before Christmas and we had homemade pizza on Christmas eve. It was a lot of fun!
