Time flies when you're having fun? The holidays are here and it's crazy times in the nest. The boys are busy asking what time they can play Mario Kart and I'm busy telling them there's no way they're playing it at 7am!
I haven't blogged for a while and felt the need to catch-up my little online diary with what's afoot in my world at the moment so here goes.....
4 totes for 4 teachers. I made them in time out of some very sweet Echino fabric that was wallowing away in my stash. I think they like them...I hope they liked them anyways. After such a crazy start to biggest boys Grade One year things sorted out in the end. He even got a Principals Award sticker on his report card. We're so very proud of how far he's come this year! Littlest boys kindy transition statement is a great reflection of who this funny little guy is...sharing, caring and a barrel of laughs!
The Christmas tree is up! As much as I'm usually a big grumpatron about Christmas and over consumption (**yawn**) blah, blah, blah, I do love opening the ornament box each year with the boys. They get so excited to see the robots, bugs, disco balls and other crazy bits and pieces that we hang on the tree each year. This year they chose a fairy ballerina ornament for Xanadu and a Batmobile that plays the 60's Batman tune to add in to the mix.
I'm working on a cute little cardy in my spare, quiet and very rare moments when I get a minute to myself. It's made from a bamboo cotton mix and is sweet and soft to the touch. I'm hoping Xanadu will get some use from it in Autumn and Winter next year.
And now onto the little Miss who takes up my days right now. She's a tiny, sweet, dribbly mix of cuteness and lots of work. I'd forgotten how much time the little babes take up having been blessed with the easiest baby in the world when littlest boy was born. She's unpredictable and predictable all at the same time. She's finally stopped screaming in the car and now enjoys catching up with her little Owl hanging toy who lives above her capsule. I can't wait to see what the next few months bring as she becomes more and more aware of this big new world!
What are you up to these holidays? Any projects on the go? I'd love to hear what you're up to!!
oh my, how cute is lil crafty, she gets more scrumptious by the day! Love her beads!!
ReplyDeleteSam, she is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteJust hanging out for the end of the year here. My biggest boy turns 10 just before Christmas, so it is always a little frantic!
Happy Christmas to you.xx
Oh, sam, she is such a cutie. I was saying tom someone the other day that I miss my little babies but o the flip side, boy, are they lower maintenance time-wise as they get older and learn how to sit on a loo and how to hold a fork.
ReplyDeleteWorking through the to do lists. Rellies arrive on Friday. Never enough time.
Hope you and your family have a fabulous Christmas, Sam. I'll be making some cutter cookies with my kids before Christmas using your yummy gingerbread style recipe.
Oh, Sam, I could almost cry for how sweet & wonderful this post is... and to end with such a gorgeous photo of your little surprise/ miracle princess.
ReplyDelete(LOVE the totes, awesome fabric!)
Have a wonderful, joyous, magical Christmas, and looking forward to hearing about your adventures in 2012!
Oh my goodness, you could just dive into those pools of eyes, Sam. I would spend all day cuddling her. I hope you all have the most wonderful Christmas.
