Our Projects

OK SO...... I am so proud of myself..... before i go on, all you "cool" moms are going to look at this and say "so what" "it's no big deal" but for me it is so please bare with me. one day i was sitting around with the kids and Ashlyn was as usual asking me if she could do all this "stuff" and i decided that I needed to get off my butt and do a quality project with them since i did not put them in preschool this year (long story for another day). So I mentally prepared myself (i Have said it before, having four kids should be fun but lets be real, with all of them under four it gets hard for me to please everyone at the same time.) and took them to wal-mart to pick out something fun to do. so we got home from walmart ate lunch and I put Carter down for his nap (one down) then I got everything as organized as I could and did a project with all three girls. when that was done I put kimber down for her nap (two down) and spent another hour or more with the older two girls and had a fun craft afternoon. now you might say "so what" but let me tell you it was good for me to do with them. I put all my rules and cleaning and "mess tending" aside and the girls had a blast. here are a couple of pictures of that proud day!!

Okay so totally awesome to do crafts and it IS hard work. Go to walmart or michaels and buy a ton of popm ppms, pipe cleaners, stickers, leaves, glitter, colord glue, washable paint and constuction paper. Put it all on the table and let them go at it take some of your old t shirts and make covers for their clothes. My girls will play and create for 2 hours or so without my help it's the best!!! Your a great mom!!
