Off To School They Go

every day 
every week
off to school we go

love her so much

dropping off and picking up
it's my routine
and i love it
wouldn't have it any other way
picking them up from school is one of the 
highlights of my day


and knowing where they are going
knowing what teachers they have
makes me happy inside
i am so grateful for their teachers


someone shared this with me and i though i'd share it with you

if you are a teacher

thank you.

thank you for teaching our children.

thank you for watching over them.

thank you for teaching so many levels/subjects everyday.

thank you for making me feel they are safe in your hands.
thank you for listening to parents concerns.

thank you for sharing your life with them.

and your stories.

we love teachers here in our home.

Night Time Around Here

it seems the days are going by so quickly

and the nights are here just the same

most of our days are mellow

not to many late nights 

and what we consider late is probably

nothing compared to the normal

one thing that is super important

to us is dinner

dinner together

shared together 

with conversation. laughter. and prayer.

and i am grateful for this time in our life

that we are able to do that 

together

there is a book my girlfriend shared with me

i have yet to get it but would love to

has anyone seen it

read it

have it

??

***

bed time

yup, nothing in those frames still :(

they found some bats in there room

off to get more black paper today

ran out

love my little thrown together burlap-pom pom frame

i know what i'd like to do with it

i need to get on that

anything you are working on?

are you able to have dinner together?

anything special you do?

Bat Garland - EasyPeasy - Weekend Craft

i love to create

and this one is a no brainer

but incase you need a little guidance 

i hope this helps

***

we started with martha stewarts bat template

we traced our pattern onto black card stock over and over

and cut. and cut. and cut.

keep in mind, it doesn't have to be perfect

some of our bats have cropped ears :)

no craft around here is perfect

for us, that is the beauty of it

after cutting lots and lots of bats out

we took our old school elmers glue 

and polka dotted amd striped em' with silver/purple glitter

at first i tried taping them to the jute but they were to heavy

and kept flopping over

so we got a hole punch

punched a hole in the top of the bat 

and tied them to the jute/ribbon

with come curly ribbon

super easy. 

it added some color too

and because we have so much ribbon in this house

i decided to add different ribbons to it

by just tying them onto the jute in knots

now it's not done

we will be adding more ribbon

but i wanted to give you the heads up

so you can gather your supplies 

and have some fun cutting and creating this project together

and that's not all

what til' the girls get home from school each day

they'll be finding bats all over

the house

it's going to be

a little

batty

around here

give away coming soon

Without a Doubt

this kid makes us laugh

she isn't the most outgoing kid 

she's not quiet either

she'll just walk down the hall

in character

it's hilarious

(side note. that is not a gun. that is one of her signature poses. Usually her fingers are bent around her chin)

just had to make that clear :)

and we laugh

cause she's funny
