Lil' Pumpkin Take 2

Hey Lil'Pumpkin Take 1

The Box

We stopped by the school on Friday and Aunty Ang gave us this huge box. Well pinterest delivered ideas yet again...

Luke wanted to play photographer for a bit. I always have to laugh at what the kids end up taking pictures of. It's neat to see the world thru their eyes and letting them use the camera allows that to happen.

I love this picture of Luke's bunny and him wearing his runners!

Tada our airplane which pretty much crashed within a half hour of being built!

Our Family 2012

Posers!

 Mama and her baby boy!

 What a monkey!

 Heavy Load.

 Good morning everyone!

 Sunshine!

Not a thumb sucker or a soother boy but definitely a index finger sucker and blankey boy! Pretty gifted he can smile too!



Crafting Zone

 Hard at work while Emma and Isaac nap.

 In case you can't tell it's a owl sitting on a branch with leaves and a yellow moon in the background.

 After I let go of my controlling, micro managing approach I let the kids pick the colors they wanted as well as leaf shapes.

 It's neat to see their different ideas and I need to embrace that more when crafting with them.

 This craft was a bit more challenging but Luke kept up no problem. These are trees with Fall leaves on them and in front of the blue is a clear sandwich bag with more cut out leaves in it. When they shake it, leaves fall from the tree to the ground.

Next up is our Fall tree on the window. The leaves were cut out of coffee filters and colored, then they sprayed the leaves with a spray bottle so the color would run. Ta Da.

This is my door wreath I designed, which is currently getting soaked in the rain. It's all fabric scraps that I had, and the wreath I had from Christmas a few years back. I purchased it at the thrift store. All I had to do was buy the letter L and paint it. 

I am not so creative that I came up with all this stuff on my own. Thanks and credit goes to Pinterest for great ideas that you can revamp and make your own with what you have in your house.

I think we spent about 6 hours in total crafting while Ken was at the teachers convention for 3 days.



VIP Guest

and had some Luke time.

 

 

Uncle Kevin was in BC doing some training and hopped on a plane to visit us for a few days. It was busy but fun hanging out. The kids loved having Uncle Kevin around to buy them stickers and stuff at the dollar store, to share pizza dough recipes, go for bike rides and walks to the bus stop, help grocery shop and to share his peanuts with them. He also downloaded the new Muppet movie. Thanks for the visit Uncle Kevin, next time make sure you bring Meisha along. Oh and I just had to add that while he was here he got a haircut...$18 at the Barber shop in town. Can you believe it?
