All rightie then...apparently this Mama needs to stop making any promises with regards to blogging because it's just not happening. Man oh man how I wish I had the time every night to do this but the honest truth is I just can't. I have to come to the realization that whenever I post will just have to be good enough.
Fall is in the air...that means cooler temperatures (on random days so far...the past two days have been above 85 degrees...crazy)...fall scents, yummy comfort foods, crunchy brown leaves, mums, pumpkins, and can I get a "whoo hoo" for my favorite thing...crafts! I LOVE doing crafts and projects with the kids...absolutely LOVE it! I'm lucky that both Ava and Isaiah are happy doing anything that involves cutting, gluing, and making a mess! I'm sure Miss Violet will join in the fun soon too!
Jackson basically lives on the floor during the summer months because it's much cooler. Lately this guy has been having some quality rest and relaxation on the couch. Poor Toots...he's so gray in the face...but don't let that fool you! He's still one big furball that's very active!
This weekend we made a trick-or-treat ghost craft. I printed out the stuff at home and the kids decorated their little friends. Love the rolled socks on this character and how the hands hold the trick-or-treat sack. We were busy doing this from start to finish for about an hour...lots of cutting and coloring!
I love seeing how the kids both start with the same craft, but in the end they turn out to look so different. Look at that beautiful girl! I still can't believe she's my baby!
On the back of the ghost is where you can write a story. Isaiah told me what he wanted to say and he wrote most of it. I wrote a few words when his "hand was getting tired" but for all the other words I just told him the letter sounds and he wrote the letters. His says "His name is Cice (pronounced Kicky)! He likes to go trick or treating. He likes to bowl. His favorite food is candy corn. His friend is Boba Fett Isaiah. His favorite game is Pop Up Pirate." Nice job Boo!
Ava did this all by herself but I helped her spell the word character. "Her name is Boo. She likes to go trick or treating. Her favorite character is Mickey Mouse. Her favorite thing to eat is.......candy." Super writing Ava Lynn!
After the ghosts were complete we played some Halloween Bingo with candy corn. We took turns being the person who draws the cards out of the box. They loved this not to mention the fact that they got to eat the candy corn afterwards. Miss Violet was asleep through all of this.
Happy Bingo!
This guy adores his little sis! He was playing picnic and grocery store with Violet while I was putting dinner in the oven. What a good helper! After a few minutes he'd call out "Mommy, Violet's off the blanket now." That kid is going to be crawling around before we know it!
This morning I had to take a quick picture of my babes! She is such a lovie! My little one is going to be 6 months on Friday...6 months. Yikes! She needs to stop growing and stay little forever!
My Three Happy's:
1) We got our family pictures taken by our friend Heidi (Captured By Heidi) on Sunday. Can't wait to see those...she's so talented!
2) I ordered all my new fall Scentsy bars. It's time for the house to smell like cinnamon, pumpkins, and pine trees!
3) The Halloween costumes are ordered and will be shipped here any day! This year you will get to meet Boba Fett (Star Wars guy), Violet (the daughter in the movie The Incredibles), and an adorable ladybug! That Halloween card is going to be all kinds of cute!
My Favorite Thing:
**Reading with my kids at night! We love cuddling up under the covers and diving into our favorite books! It's even more fun now that Ava reads to me and Isaiah is starting to read books with simple and repeated text.
