Truly Blessed

This week I had the chance to volunteer in Gracey's classroom and really enjoyed the time.  At first, I worried she would be too distracted and that I wouldn't be able to do it anymore but she did fine.  I explained that I was there to help her teachers get things done for the class and that I couldn't sit and talk with just her.  She seemed to understand and only asked for one hug. LOL. 

This past Tuesday was also "Take Your Parents To School Day".  I was able to stay the whole time and her Daddy surprised her by having lunch with her.  She was thrilled.

Just one more confirmation that the decision we made for me to stay home was the right one for now.  I am truly a blessed person.

Have a beautiful day!

Yay!

I enjoy doing crafts.  I never said I was good at them but I keep on finding ones to do.  I attempted a cookie sheet chalkboard.  I thought it would be easiest with the spray can kind but not so much.  I never could get it to spray an even flow.  So it went in the garbage.  But I will try again.  Don't like things to get the whoop me!

I did try my hand at the mesh wreaths.  I  found the directions on Pinterest, of course.  I changed the sizes though when I should've followed them precisely.  It did turn out okay enough for my front door and maybe the next one will make it to "gift" status.

This one you roll the pieces of mesh and secure them in the middle  with a pipe cleaner.  Then you attach it to the wire wreath frame with the same pipe cleaner.

Catch Up

Gracey's class had  a Fall Festival  in their classroom last week.  I was responsible for the treat bags.  I went to my favorite place....Smart Start of Pender County and  and made die cut pumpkins, got black and yellow bags and the ribbon.  I think they were cute, even if I made them.  I put a lil bit of candy but not much.  Mainly it had different kinds of stickers, spider or bug rings, gum and a Trick or Treat word search.

 

 

 

This is pictures of Braxton doing his "project" as he says. It's from  Family Fun Magazine September 2013 issue.  He sat doing this while I fixed supper one night.  Now he does this "fine motor fun" when Sissy is doing her homework.
