Crafts

I wish I had something fun to write about our weekend, but it was simple and productive. We have family pictures coming up next week, so we went shopping to get some new duds. Kam is so girly and loves scarves, rings, necklaces, you name it! I have never been like that, so it's fun to shop with her and see her get so excited about giant owl rings and fancy infinity scarves. She is a penny pincher, but I'm pretty sure what money she does spend, will be on accessories and clothes.

My girly splurge is my pedicures.  I turn on the massage chair and get lost in tabloid magazines and the next thing I know.. my toes look like peppermint candies! :)  I told her to surprise me and she sure did.. I love my candy toes!

I haven't started decorating for Christmas yet, because the hubs like Thanksgiving to be it's OWN holiday before we start decorating for Christmas.  So tradition is, Black Friday shopping for me, then Christmas decorating the rest of the day.  I made this cute glass block at Super Saturday last weekend.  Again, I am so not crafty, so I sign up for the crafts that are pre arranged and in little kits.

Again with my lack of craftiness.. I saw this sign on Pinterest and just HAD to have one!  Owen sings this song all the time and really it's quite fitting for our family.  I was going to order one, but it was crazy expensive, so I thought I'd make one.  But then again, who am I kidding.   I was on one of my Facebook consign groups last week and found this one for sale.  Now it's in our family room and it's the perfect reminder for me when I am stressed out.  I can't just read it, but I hear Owen singing it in his tiny little voice.. "Every little ting.. is donna be alright .. right.. right.. "  It makes me smile.

Now on to Owen's craft of the day.  Owen doesn't like doing crafts.  He doesn't like coloring, drawing, painting, or glueing... it's just not his thing.  So when Connie (Occupational Therapist), came by today with fruit loops and said "we're gonna make a craft", I cringed a little.  Owen was cooperative for the first three or four fruit loops.  Then he started with putting two green ones in his left hand and two red ones in his right hand and said.. "this is the lizardman, and this is Spiderman" then he clapped his hands together and said "they're fighting!!"  Connie is good about getting him back on track and he eventually finished his tree, with a little nagging.  He is proud of it hanging on the fridge and has me thinking we should probably get our craft on a little more. 

We are all so excited for Thanksgiving this week.  We are going to my parent's house and we do it up right!  There is always so much food that we all end up with leftovers for a week!  We have so much to be Thankful for!
