Ready for the Holidays


The Holidays are right around the corner and I have been planning out the activities for the kids. Usually I try and do two activities a week (anything from coloring a picture to baking treats). I found some cute things on the Family Fun website and other fun kid sites.

We spent two days on this one and there was no cost. First we went for a walk and collected all the cool leaves. The next day we made the pictures. The kids really worked at getting the leaves just right. (I'm suppose to put the kids picture on there, but I have yet to do that part of craft.)

I also hit a big sale at Michael's last week. I went there for some new scrapbook supplies and came home with a lot more. That place is dangerous! The parking lot was full and it was a mad house inside, but I managed some good deals. I ended up finding a bunch of $1 crafts for the kids. I splurged on the one below for a total of $3.99. :) Peyton and Annisten are admiring their work. We had some close calls with the glue gun, but the kids really enjoyed making their "Boo Tree."

How fun! I have been cooking up a storm in honor of the fall season. Lot's of zucchini bread, cinnamon rolls and soups. Deakan's attention span isn't quite long enough to do any serious projects with him. Hopefully by Christmas he'll be more interested.

I love doing crafts with my kids too, but haven't gotten my act together enough lately. It's amazing how much they love to do them. They don't have to be big and expensive either.

I know how you feel about Michael's. That's how I feel about JoAnn's. I stopped going there unless I had a list of things that I really needed because I always ended up spending more than I should.
