Closet Crafter






I have a confession to make... I am a closet crafter. I love doing crafts! I am not that great at them but it is something I enjoy doing. So, I am going to be brave right now and show a couple things that I made. The first one is a string of blocks I cut out and decorated to say Trick or Treat. I have no room in my house so I had to hang it on the window and when I took a picture it looked awful so I laid it on my bed to take the picture. That is why it is not looking cute on a wall somewhere.
I also made a sharing board because Sloan and my niece Evie (that I babysit) are, well let's say they need to work on sharing. Every time I notice them sharing without having to be prompted, they get to put a button on the board. Once they get 10 buttons, they get to choose a prize. Hope it helps.

Happy Halloween!




This Halloween we decided to all dress up in an "Alice in Wonderland" theme. Evie (my niece) was Alice, Amylynn (my sister-in-law) was the white rabbit, Ethan (my brother) was Bill the maintenance lizard, I was the queen of hearts and Sloan was the king of hearts. She looked just like him!! It was so funny. Sloan was so good when we went trick-or-treating. She insisted on walking herself the whole time. We went up and down two streets and she had it down to an art. She would walk up to the door and knock, when the door opened she would say trick or treat choose a candy say thank you, bye. She could have kept going probably all night but her pumpkin couldn't hold any more treats.

Happy Birthday Sloan!






























































It is true, I now have a two year old. Time really flies! We went to the Barnyard Boo at Thanksgiving point for her birthday party. She absolutely LOVES riding the ponies and of course cried when her turn was over. And they had the most adorable baby goats!!!!! They were babies of the mini size goats and they were tiny!! That was my favorite part. They had fun games and even face painting. It was a fun party. Happy Birthday Sloan!
