Polly Pockets

Well I finally have a kid old enough to trust with my valuables. And by valuables I mean my Polly Pocket collection from when I was a kid. Dead serious. Here's some pics of them playing with them 

There are still a few in the box but yea!! Awesome moment

Making maracas

Adam had asked me if we could do a craft together after school one day. I had a bunch of egg cartons so I decided to use them to make some maracas. We sure had fun! 

Caleb was shaking his bum and dancing singing "m'racas racas". Took a half hour to do but was great!

Prettifying my Entrance

So we've lived in our house for two years now and I still very much feel like it's like we're renting. We really haven't done much decoration wise to show that it is ours. So I decided to paint my front door. It's the entrance to our home and I wanted it to reflect me! I picked an awesome red called "Raspberry Truffle".

I just love it! It makes me so happy!

Then I decided to make a "Wreath" out of an old gold frame that I had laying around. I got it at a church food storage giveaway thing. Someone passed away and their kids donated all their food storage to the church for everyone to split up! Got a bunch of stuff there for free. Wheat, corn... all sorts of stuff it was awesome. But I also got this lovely Gold frame that I just loved but had no idea what I was going to do with it. Anyways... Without further ado. Here are the photos!!

Blossom Festival Children's Parade

This last weekend was  Blossom Festival. I have memories of coming into Creston from Fernie as a kid to visit Grandma for the Blossom Festival. The midway travelling fair comes to town and we ride the rides. We went to the Farmer's Market, took Adam and Caleb to the fair, watched the Parade, planted our Garden, Had our 10 year Grad Reunion, and took the Kids to the Children's Parade. It was a SUPER FULL weekend but so much fun! I, of course, did not take hardly any pictures because I"ve really gotten slack with that lately. But I DID take some of the Children's Parade.... and a few at the fair with Dustin's Cell phone. I'll have to get him to upload those later. Anyways it was such an awesome weekend and the weather was perfect. Here are the pictures of the Children's Parade.

Hi Luana!

Caleb got scared of walking. There were too many noises and too many kids on bikes and stuff.

A Day at Spa du Adame

So this was a while ago but Adam was bored one day and asked if we could do something together. I asked him if he wanted to paint my toenails.... One thing led to another and my toenails, hair, and makeup were all done expertly by my 5 year old. Man I love him!

He chose pink, blue and purple as the colours.

After brushing my hair for awhile he added a flower clip

Lip gloss and blush as well

Adam: "Please, no pictures"

He picked the colour too

Lovely purple shade. Not too shabby considering

I just love this little man so much!!
 He was so excited and he said "When Daddy gets home he is going to say 'Oh Mommy You're soooo beautiful!!!"

Spring is here!?

It is the second day of March. Almost all of February was beautiful spring weather. The birds have returned and we started cleaning up the yard to prep for planting. However, today it is snowing! I knew it was too soon to call "Spring" However, I did make a lovely "Spring" Block set for my mantel. I love my mantel. It bring me joy to decorate it with the changing of the seasons. My house is far from where I envision it ending up looking like. And since we can't afford to do all the renovations at once I take happiness out of being able to decorate one small part of my house to look really nice. Here are some pictures of it!

Thanks to Laurie and Brittney for hosting ladies night where we get to make cool stuff like this! You make crafting easy!
