Snow-Line Field Trip

The month was almost over as the teachers in preschool. Nola and I planned our last field trip to Snow-line Apple Orchard. We had such a fun but full month and this was a great place to end for the term. We needed a break things at home were getting neglected!
This was so cool. We watched the apples get crushed and then pressed into Apple Cider. After the tour we had apple cider mini-donuts and apple cider with apples as a snack. It was so yummy!
Thys and Peter being buddies. They were holding each other so tight that they fell! It was very cute!

Halloween Fun!

I know that I am posting this a little late but the saying goes..."better late than never!"..Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We really had a great weekend. Truck-or-Treating Friday night at the church and then Saturday, Sydney's Birthday, which we spent most of the afternoon at the Crafton School Carnival. Then Trick-or-Treating in Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood.
We reused, borrowed, made and bought our costumes this year. A little bit of everything. The children love to decide what they are going to be up to the last minute!
Happy Halloween Everyone!

Quiet Time!

A few months ago.... I asked two of my friends what they wanted as a baby shower present. I named a few things and they both decided on another page for their Quiet Books. It has taken me a lot longer to finish than I had planned. But I am pleased with the result. :-)
Build a Cupcake!!!! With some extras too.!

Caterpillar...Cocoon...Butterfly! This is what has taken most of the time. Trying to figure out how to make this into something that is interactive for the children and looks cute too. The caterpillar slides on a string into the top slit of the cocoon and the bottom slit holds the butterfly finger puppet.

Here is a close up shot of the caterpillar! He is a happy little guy!
This was a ton of fun making. It is kind of cool to create something that turns out the way you want it too. Now I have to finish making the other one since I have only made one so far. I love doing it though. Happy sewing!

Our birthday boy!

Happy Birthday!!!
Yes, Thys had a birthday and is four years old now. Can you believe it? He is such a happy kid and he is a blessing to our family.
We had a fun day! In the morning he opened his presents before daddy and the girls left for the day. The best present was his new but used bike. (I found it at a yard sale for $5.) Gary fixed it up, replaced the tire tubes and voila... it works!
Field Trip--We took the bus into town and hung out at the local mall. There isn't much going on there! =:( But we enjoyed an ICEE and rode on the motorcycle merry-go-round.
After we had our treat, we went down and back up the escalator and we were told "no playing on the escalator." I told the lady that we weren't playing and she said we were and it is not aloud! Within a few minutes the security guard came out to watch that we didn't do it again. Whatever!!! =:) We still had a great time!
Thys was given some birthday money so we went and bought him some new clothes and a pair of shoes for Church. Thank-you grand-mas and grand-pas. We love you and all that you do for Thys. Later we had pizza and yummy cake and sang him happy birthday! It was a great day for a four year old.

Hi there! I am still alive. I just have been busy trying to get through the last couple of weeks. Besides trying to keep up with family, laundry and house work... sewing has taken over my life. I am trying to finish making some extra pages for the QBs (I'm still not done yet!) . I made some cute baby bibs and blankies for friends and their new sweet babies last week. The bibs are the cutest ever :) I found the tutorial for them at this fun blog called crazy mom quilts. Check it out and make one! http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2007/05/bib-tutorial.html
Anyway...Halloween is approaching and costumes are beginning to be decided by my sweet but ever undeciding children. I will be sewing for that too :/ I just have this feeling:) But if I can ,we will be looking at second hand stores first and perhaps resewing some clothes into something else. Thys and Syd have birthdays in October and I teach preschool in October and the Super Saturday is in October too. Everything is going to be fun, fun, fun! It will be an exciting month. And all of you 2nd ward sisters better come to the Super Saturday or I will be very upset! LOL To check out the stuff for the Super Saturday blog http://secondwardsisters.blogspot.com/.
