As if I don't already have enough things on my "someday I'll make this" list. I have discovered a wonderland of "I want to make this...and this....and this...." If you have never browsed through YouCanMakeThis.com - you need to. The creativity just oozes out of your screen and smoothers you!
on my list are these for Madi:
or these pendant necklaces:
oh so many things ... and so little time!
Well I hope all had a wonderful Holidays. We certainly did. Family. Friends. Food. and more Food. Wow... it was fun. I have had fun just hanging out with the hubby and kids all week. Playing with our new toys, and letting the kids stay up until midnight for the first time, last night with Lizz&BJ and kiddos. They had fun going outside at midnight hearing all the noise, fireworks, and doing both themselves! There is something magical about that when you are a child, at least I remember thinking that when I was young.
So Lauren's favorite gift she got was this computer game called spores... she loves it, and so does carter, he plays it almost more than she does. it is perfect for their age, and the creatures they make are really fun.
Carter loves (spores) and this nerf dart tag. They have all had alot of fun with it
Madi has loved this sewing kit I got her from the Land of Nod..... It is perfect for her age, and I love that is is all contained in a cute little suitcase!
As for me I was splendidly spoiled by my hubby. He never ceases to surprise me. I love it. And for the first time this year, I think I actually was able to surprise him too.... I didn't let the kids know what I was getting him....somehow, they always seem to slip up when it comes to his gift. So this year it was a surprise to him, and the kids...
We went downtown to see the lights at Temple Square tuesday night. It was wonderful.. Everything was still set up with the Christmas stuff, but half the crowds. I just love going to the visitors center, and going up to see the Christus. I just love the feeling there, it is just so beautiful. I am glad the kids really wanted to go, even though it was after Christmas. it truely is just amazing. Everytime I go, I can't imagine the time it takes to create something so beautiful! there seems like there is just thousands of lights on just one tree!
Well now for the part i dread every year. Taking down the tree, and putting the holiday decorations away. I wish that i could just hire someone to do it!
i was done blogging for today, until I found these. If there is anything in this world that would make me want to give up my vow to be finished with having babies, these would do it. There is apparently quite an extensive waiting list to get your hands (or babybum) on these little cuties. I have already put my name down, though when I am called, I will get a pair for my sis- or friend- or any luckyduck that is having a little one. Or maybe I would just get them and hang them up in my studio.. They definitely make me smile! The only hard part would be choosing which one I would want.
