Playing Keep-Up

I don’t blog as often as I probably should. I think the lack of people actually reading it might have something to do with that though… I’m working on it I swear!

Okay so as usual I’m gonna share a couple of crafts…

First up is a purse that I created the pattern for and I’m still working on. The handles did not come out right, maybe next time!

Then Caiden got 2 new shirts. One for Halloween and one just because I can. I love the little monster and the giraffe I can’t decide who my favorite is!

Arianna lost another tooth! Now I thought she’d let us pull it pretty easily when it got to the point were it was easy to pull… ha ha poor naive mommy. After lots of pleading some calm discussion and a bribe reward for good behavior she let me pull it while Grandma held her. Que ear piercing scream… and then she was fine. She said next time she won’t scream because really it wasn’t that bad and she doesn’t even know why she screamed in the first place…

Yesterday Brad brought us this adorable puppy that we just can not keep. He found her in the middle of the road at 2am and thought of us immediately because he thinks we are suckers we are such animal lovers. We already have 4 dogs. 2 different breeds and they have to be kept separate because one will attack the other (long story). It’s expensive to feed them, they are not small. We can not afford another dog and he knew this but brought the dog to us anyway. Long story short, she went to a local shelter and will hopefully find a good home. It was so hard!

I got my hair cut off again and I love it!

Oh and just for laughs this is Caiden after his nap… I don’t even want to know what was in his hair…

It’s really a rather nice day out so I thought I’d do something fun with the kids. So we made sidewalk paint and well… painted the sidewalk!

So I looked up how to make it and the only one I looked at said equal parts water and cornstarch. But I used 2 parts water to 1 part cornstarch and then added the food coloring. Here is my mini tutorial:  Sidewalk Paint Tutorial
