Beautiful Snow….

Over the weekend we had lots and lots of gorgeous snow! My children love to eat the snow…they would eat and eat and eat it all day…if I let them.

It was almost too much snow…..River had a hard time walking through it…she stayed out for over 2 hours…she loved it so much. I think she would have stayed out longer.

The dogs weren’t too happy about it. I tried to get them to play in the snow…but they didn’t want much to do with it..until I dug a path for them.

Don’t forget to go on over to the Etsy Cloth Diaper Team blog….enter to win a custom made woolie……custom made by me!!!

Christmas Countdown….Day 21…Wonder

I don’t think there is anything better than the look of wonder in a child’s eyes at this time of year. And a little bit of snow doesn’t hurt either!

This weekend we got so much snow…the storm of the century! Wow, what fun! And after playing in the snow, everyone had to have some snow cream!

My goal was to write a post every week day during October…I already failed..Friday I didn’t have time! Well, instead of beating myself up for it..I will just move on..with a new post for the new week. This weekend felt like one of those weekends where you actually get so much done! Not only did I accomplish productive things, but we had lots of fun. We got out all our Halloween decorations and decorated the house and put away all the mess. We went to Six Flags…a first for me in about 25 years! River had a fun time. We had my niece and her boyfriend over for dinner which was a lot of fun. And we relaxed! I got some painting time in! I am determined to finish this mural by Christmas!

What’s hot and what’s not…..

Okay….I got inspired by one of my favorite blogs…..

http://loobylu.com/

She challenged anyone to do a what’s hot and what’s not list of their own…so here goes:

What’s Hot!!

1. Books. Books are always hot. My children wouldn’t know what to do with themselves without a book, and I’m not exaggerating. They take them everywhere..to school, in the car, to grandparents..everywhere!

2. Anything Harry Potter. My kids still love Harry Potter…he is hot right now because of Universal Studios opening up the new theme park in Florida! Guess where they want to go next Spring???

3. River. My daughter River is so popular with Tuesday and Quinn. They fight over who gets to play with her! No, really they do!

4. Hershey’s Especially dark chocolate cake recipe. It is currently my favorite and my daughter’s favorite dessert!

5. Cleaning and changing around bedrooms! It’s what we are doing around here.. in with the new…out with the old…..

What’s Not!!

1. Homework. It’s that time of year and my kids don’t like it..but hey who does or ever did????

2. Edamame. I love the stuff..but my kids don’t….but I’ll keep trying…

3. End of swimming. My kids love to go swimming and now the swim club is closed….so sad…

4. Early bedtimes. They are still on summer mode and want to stay up as late as they like…but that is no more since the beginning of school!

5. Getting up early. My daughter is in middle school now, so that means everybody getting up at 6:30….It is just easier if everyone gets up at the same time! (I’m the most unhappy about it!)

Displaying artwork….

Lately, I have been coming across a lot of posts in different blogs about displaying artwork. I love having all my kids artwork all over the house. River is always quite anxious to have her art creations immediately displayed. So, I hung string across the fireplace and used clothes pins to display her work. We rarely have a fire in the fireplace and it is right in the same room with her art desk and all her books. She loves being able to help hang it. And she also loves to show it off!

Snow….

We have finally had a snowstorm worth writing about! This is probably the biggest storm we have had since we have lived in our new house! No school today! And no time to sew or do any laundry! Oh well…we played outside for about two hours and then Christopher took the kids sledding!

Halloween…

Well, Halloween has come and gone and it was a lot of fun. Those boxes turned into quite a robot costume! My daughter’s costume was much easier! River decided eating pumpkins was better than carving them!

Projects…

I’ve been spending a bit of time with my daughter, helping her with her school project. She had to create a monster that came out of the classroom. For my daughter, believe it or not, this was a “simple” project! This is what she came up with…..a “pequino” (she had to make up a name of the creature) that eats the principal!

Big Sigh….

I just finished my biggest custom order ever! And it went very well!! It is in the mail on its way to Norway!!

Today I will be working more on Quinn’s Halloween costume! So, hopefully tomorrow I will post another photo of the work in progress!

Weekend…

Today is a day off from sewing. We went to the newly expanded and relocated Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. We’ve been members there for a very long time. Today was a special members only day. It was a lot of fun.

I am always looking for new and different sewing sites. One I found is called Grosgrain. Not only is it a great site, but she is always having giveaways. A link to this week’s giveaway can be found here.
