I have just way too many adorable pictures of the girls from the past month or two, so I thought I would share them with you. If nothing else, it will make my parents happy.
We love to walk in the park down the street.

Pennsic, Part 2
More very late snaps of our fun Medieval vacation.
So lets start with our pavilion.
This is the left side. The back wall behind the bed opens to let in a cross breeze. Don’t you love the oh-so-period truck behind our home?
Pennsic 39 part 1
So here we have it, about a month late, the first post of our Pennsic 39 vacation. I was still working on bits and pieces of projects to the very last minute. Here we have the girls giving me a hand getting the floor pieces ready the day before we left.
They take after their Grandpa, little carpenters!
Catching up ~ Gardening and Crafting!
Here are some old photos of the girls helping out neighbor garden, and making fun crafts. Lots of cuteness going on!
OK, this is about a month old, but too cute not to share. It was a morning when the weather was a bit too chilly to go for a walk, but we were in an “outing” kind of mood. So I packed up the girls and we drove over to AC Moore to find some fun $1 crafts. They each got two ~ more on those later.
When we got home, the weather was a bit nicer. Vera and Vincent, the lovely Italian couple who live next door, were in their back yard. The girls spotted them, so we HAD to go and visit. Vera was working on her flower gardens. The girls decided to help.
Once all the flowers were planted ~ at which point Mommy finally realized she had her camera with her and should start taking pictures ~ it was time for some watering. So Vada helped Vera fill the water.
Then it was time to water away!
Hug Monkey
The other day Kyla came up to me and said in a sad, pleading little voice, “Hug Monkey. Hug.” Then she handed me this:

Counting Bean Bags
I just finished the latest Craft Hope project. Teaching aid bean bags. I chose to make the number set ~ with the help of my Cricut, I actually have the original that only cuts 6×12, but I didn’t see any links to that one. I don’t think they make them anymore.
So here is a tutorial. No worries if you don’t have a Cricut, I’ll tell you what to do for that, also. As with all my tutorials, feel free to share the link. I just ask that if you share, you do share the link to this post, not take the credit yourself. Thank you.
To start, tear some 6″ strips from your outer fabric. You can see my strips aren’t very long. That’s because I was using scrap fabric. If your strips are 45″ or longer, that’s just fine! You’ll need the equivalent of two 6″ squares per bean bag. Then give your strips a press and pull off any hanging threads.
Snow Day! ^_^
Doug had a snow day on Friday.
Wonder why?
Kyla says “Hey Daddy, that’s a lot of snow!”
OK, so it was more like “Daddy! Sooooo!”
Happy New Year – Christmas Pictures finally!
Doug is back at work today. We had a very nice week and a half with him home. The girls were so happy to spend so much time with their daddy. I know I neglected you during that time. I’m sure you understand, though. So here is my rather delayed Christmas post.
We started the morning with present opening at home in the PJs. First we gave the girls their stockings, and they had tons o’ fun!
Kyla reached into her stocking to get some of the goodies out.
