Monday Makings

Yes I know, I'm very slow at posting these pictures this week, but here they are. Since it is now March we made our first St. Patrick's Day craft...Leprechauns! Grandma and Grandpa even joined in on the fun!

Monday Makings

I found some really cute hand puppet kits in the craft section at Wal-Mart and decided that would be our Monday Making. They are smaller than I expected them to be, but they are really cute. And everything comes together and ready to assemble...no glue, scissors or sewing required!

Look Who's 2!

Today (February 22nd) our little baby girl turned 2! I can't believe it's been 2 years already since Brikelle joined our family. She has been such a joy to us. She is definitely the baby and gets away with a lot more than Bailee and Braden ever did! At 2 years old Brikelle is talking up a storm...she can and will say anything we say. She loves Elmo, Blue's Clues and Dora. She loves animals (real and stuffed). She loves to go outside. She loves to do everything her brother and sister do and take their toys and make her brother cry. She loves to climb on anything she can including the pantry shelves (which is now locked at all times!). She loves to give loves. She is very fond of her big sister Bailee and likes to run around the house playing pirates and Star Wars with her big brother Braden. She loves to be tickled by daddy and she is a huge mommy's girl. She has also mastered throwing a 2 year old tantrum! She melts our hearts with her beautiful eyes, smile and sweetness! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIKELLE!!! We Love You!

Brikelle had a Dora the Explorer birthday. She celebrated her special day with her mom, her sister, her brother and her grandma & grandpa who are here visiting. We know her daddy wishes he could have been here to celebrate with us. Her day was celebrated by going to church, taking a good nap, eating a nice spaghetti lunch (a favorite meal of hers), opening presents and having cake and ice cream. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed her special day!

Monday Makings

Valentine's is over and it's too early for St. Patrick's Day and way too early for Easter so for our Monday Makings the kids made a collage of their trip to Disney. One of Bailee's most favorite parts of Disney is collecting all the the little Mickey Mouse confetti that's all over the front entrance of the park. So between two trips there, she had a good collection! For the collage the kids glued on pictures and a bunch of the confetti. They did a good job!
