The Best Disney on Ice

The girls were saving their Christmas money for something special.

Toy Story Disney on Ice was that special something.

It was an AWESOME SHOW! The best one yet.

Finally some SNOW

Winter has been weird this year - not a lot of snow.

Finally a few days ago we got a storm.

Just enough snow to build - Daisy the snow woman.
Now Spring can come.

Who's in that Backpack?

Shem's friend Eric stopped by for a visit the other day.

He convinced Abs that she could fit in her backpack.

Abbie thought it was great fun!

The next day she told all her friends at school.

Thanks Eric for having fun with our kids.

Project Pictures

More Pinterest Projects. 

It started with a huge lawn mower box we used for moving.

My kids thought it was theirs to play in.

Then it became four boxes/cubbies - the exact size I needed.

Now they are painted and decorated to match the girls bedroom.

I LOVE projects that are CHEAP and EASY!

Maddie's Quilt

Maddie has been helping me with her room.

She did most of this quilt on her new sewing machine.

She picked all the colors and she helped design it.

It's been fun teaching her how to sew.

This picture shows her quilt and her matching curtains.

A blue wall is coming soon.

Busy but fun for an 8 year old.

Lots of Hearts

Yesterday was Valentines day. 

All the girls had hearts in their hair.

They also enjoyed finding hearts around the house.

We call these hearts our "little loves".

Everyone gets to find hearts during the day.

They remind the person how much I love them.

Emmie's hair was destroyed before I could get a picture.

It was two pigtail hearts with ribbon braided through it.

My girls love to have their hair fixed in cool ways.

Pinterest Projects

Our new house needed new things - so I've been busy.

Thanks to Pinterest I found some great ideas.

We got the kids on track with "Habit Helpers"(AKA chore charts)

I also found a cute idea for a growth board.

Why I never thought of this I don't know.

When we lived in Ephraim the girls loved to get measured on the wall. My plan was to transfer all the marks when we moved but I forgot to do it. When I remembered a week later it was too late. Now that will never happen again.
