Fun Photos Friday #23: Movie Theater Adventures

funphotofriday25

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!  I can’t believe how fast this week went by. It has been spring break for my boys and we had a pretty fun week. On Wednesday, I took them to lunch and then we went to the theater to see, “Mr. Peabody and Sherman”.  But when we got there, this amazing display was up for Rio 2.  I told the boys to pose for me. And I was definitely the crazy mom that made them wait until all the people were out of the shot.  I hate when you take a picture and there is a random person’s arm in the frame.  I love how both of them, despite my telling them to look at me are looking to the side. They both have the same fake smile and are looking out of the frame. I also love how their coats match the birds.

I am going to do some crafting this morning and then wrap up our Earth day crafts with the boys this afternoon.  I hope you all have a great weekend.

Cardmaking with Apollo..(photo heavy post)

Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. I actually had a lot of fun and one thing I wanted to share with you is the joy I had working with Apollo on his first Halloween card.  He loves my Silhouette and although I have only had it a few months, he has picked up quite a bit.  I found this great Halloween card file on the free files at the Silhouette website and picked out papers for two cards – one for him and one for me.

Working with the tiny eyes for the ghost was a great challenge for him.

I cleared off my little Project Life table and set it up next to my desk near the Silhouette and layed out his supplies.  He really enjoyed putting all the pieces together.

Gluing small pieces of paper were some good fine motor skills practice.

It was so much fun watching him assemble the pieces. Although I did end up helping him with the glue for the eyes and mouth.

Gluing the little things were a little more challenging.

I like that he wasn’t discouraged at all and kept working to complete the card.

This was a fun first project from the Silhouette for him.

I love the focus this 6 year old had to complete his card.

The tricky part was getting the word ‘Boo’ down leaving enough room for the exclamation point.

Assembling it all together and pressing to make sure the glue takes.

I think it is safe to say he loved his card.

Look my first Halloween card!

I am more than thrilled that he has an interest in my crafts and that we can experience some together.

Have a blessed day!

Fun Photos Friday – #14

Bubble time!

Bubble time!

Happy Friday everyone! Friday is definitely one of my favorite days of the week. I always look forward to more unstructured time with family.  I also know I am going to sneak in reading time on my deck which I have to say I have been doing a lot of even on weekdays as of late.

This week’s picture is of Apollo playing with his bubbles. I am always happy to see my kids’ reaction to bubbles. It is such simple past time and they simply enjoy it.

At first he couldn’t blow them. He either blew too hard or too soft so I would blow them and he and his brother would chase and pop them.  Now that he mastered the art of blowing his own,  he even puts his tech toys down to play.  Let’s face it, bubble never get old.

Hope you find something simple and fun to do this weekend.

Have a blessed Friday!

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #221

Hello Everyone!

First let me say thank you so much for all the love you lovely ladies left on my blog last week. It was the lift I need while dealing with this foot pain.  This week’s update: I am thinking of seeing a chiropractor for pain in my back and left side that might possibly be contributing to a miss alignment hence the foot problem. My doctor is leaning towards Planter Faciatis. My inserts (not custom orthodics) don’t seem to be working so we are going try another before committing to the hefty price for custom orthodics.  I made it to many desks last week but promise to get to anyone I missed this week.

So I have a hording tendency that doesn’t allow for me to part with my newest pretty stuff.  So today I actually broke the seal on two new paper packs I have (corrugate neutrals ad The Glitzy Pastels by DCWV).

I used my Silhouette to cut out the cute balloons.

Have I said lately how much I love my Silhouette?  Well, I do and the best part is that I haven’t even scratched the surface.  I made a easel card base. I really love cutting and scoring and prepping the base.  More will definitely be made.

You can click here to see my post that has the completed card.

If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!
