Want to share a few things that are making me happy these days.
Grandparents got it for us a couple of birthdays ago…it is one of the most fun, least cheesy kid CDs we own. We rock it in the car.
The fact that my new Chai Coffee recipe doesn’t “require” any sugar when drinking. Just a splash of milk. This is BIG for me.
Garage Sale/Thrift Store Finds:
Bag of used-but-still-good watercolors? For 25 cents? Sold!
MBTI mixed with parenting? For $2. Yes, please!
Cheap globe for my future collection display? Uh huh.
Fall Stuff:
It’s fun to get our books for each season out of storage every year. Today Caden is off school but Caleb has preschool. And it just happens to be the day I signed up to read a story to his class. So Caden will be helping me. I love how big the world opens up when you can read!
Our party ladies have started passing out the Halloween treats in Fall Avoidance class. The bag is full of Peanut M&Ms. We shall rock the socks the week of Halloween. (Picture to follow.)
Cute little fall display on the front porch
Family Projects:
I’ve fallen in love with Norwex cloths. They really do live up to all the hype. And I’m surprisingly suspicious of stuff like that. I got the 3 pack travel sized ones to keep at each sink. So what did my man do? He got hooks and hung them up in each room. He’s a keeper.
Settlers of Catan. This game and I had a rough start, but I’ve warmed up to it. The boys love it. We keep it out for a while and play a little here and there.
Reading books out loud. This picture is misleading, though. These are ones we want to read. We are actually reading The Chronicles of Narnia, and that is taking us suuuuper long.
Googly Eye Art. I truly cannot remember if I made this up or am copying this from somewhere/someone. Probably a mixture of both. Have you ever done this? Just glue down a bunch of eyes on a piece of paper and let your kids go to town creating creatures. Cheap and fun. I think we got that whole pack of eyes at the Dollar Tree!
Anything making you happy right now?
