Bubble Wrap Corn Project.

Since it's cold and snowy out today, we thought it would be a great day for a project. We of course went over to No time for flashcards.....where else would we go for ideas for a project?!

We made the Corn project.....It's called Bubble wrap corn. You use the bubble wrap to paint with. Our corn is a bit rough.....mommy can't draw, But I think Amelia did a great job at her painting part.

Painting the corn with the bubble wrap.....she really did well with it.

Coloring the husk park. In Allie's project, they painted this part, but we had nap time 1/2 way though the project and I had cleaned up already. So we just colored it.

Here is two of the three bubble wrap painted corn.

.Finished project.

Winter Has Made It's Way Into The Neighborhood.

It Snowed! It Snowed! It Snowed!

Let me tell you Miss Amelia is So happy about it too! It's so cute to see how excited she is about the snow! She just keeps watching it out the window, and was so Excited when we actually went out in it today. I love to see the excitement in her face....the newness of the snow is a newness in her little life too. She doesn't remember it from last year, she was to young.

Norah on the other hand, doesn't care for the whole bundle up thing. Not happy one bit about it. She seriously looked like Randy the little boy on the Christmas Story. Her new coat needs to be worn in a bit.....it's still quite stiff for her.

I went out and took a few photos of the white stuff. You know, it's cold and it's crap to drive in, but if you don't have to go anywhere, it's so beautiful!

Last night when it started to snow.

This morning....and it's still snowing now.

Baby Shower And Moms House.

Before we headed out today I took a few pictures of Norah, doesn't she looks so sweet? she was just sitting there being so good.

Tongue? Not sure what this is all about.......

I drove back home yesterday to go to my girlfriends baby shower. She is due Mid to end December. She looks fantastic and her belly is just right out there.....she looks so cute. She received some very nice items that she had registered for.

Cherlyn, isn't she cute? Look at that belly.

A few of us at the shower. I graduated with these girls, I don't see them that often, it was wonderful to see them all yesterday. From Left to Right, Sheli, Heather, Amy (she is pregnant with twins right now), Cherlyn and of course me.

We went to my parents after the shower for dinner...yep, I crashed my moms to steal dinner from her....hey, she is a good cook, you would do the same if you were me. Here are a few pictures from last night at my moms house.

Yeah, she looks innocent doesn't she?

After dinner mom got them all wound up. Laughing and playing, it was actually pretty cute.

Amelia had to "do" moms hair too. It cracked me up.

Sweetie.

Our Turkey Project.

We love to do fun projects and the girls really have a nice time. So we jumped on No time for flashcards and picked out a project to do. We thought a Thanksgiving one would be perfect for right now. We found Allie's Turkey project, yet once again we didn't have all the items, so we modified our Turkey. However,I think it turned out quite nice....It was a little hard for the girls (they were just a bit young for this project) and I sort of felt Sara and I did most of the project. But It turned out nice and we all had fun.

We had the Girls paint a "picture" for us. We used that paint for the turkey's body. Sara had some paper that she used for scrapbooking and we used a few different colors for the Feathers of Mr. Turkey. Since the girls love the pipe cleaners so much, we used those for our feet.

They really did well with the paint.

We only we able to get half of the project done on the first day, It was nap time. So, today we finished it.....as you can tell by the new clothes they have on.

Amelia showing off her Turkey....silly face, she is saying Gobble, Gobble.....yet it comes out Boggle, Boggle.

The girls showing off their Turkey's.The close up shot of our Turkey.

We can't forget Miss Norah either. She was napping while we were doing our project each day. But We did get a cute pictures of her when she woke up.

Christmas Photo shoot....Take One.

I thought it would be fun to do some Christmas photos. So I dressed the girls cute and TRIED to take a Picture for our Christmas cards this year. Let me tell you....That is one hard task with my two girls. We had fun, but they enjoyed playing with all the Christmas lights and bulbs more than letting me take a photo of them. Here is a few from our little photo shoot.

Friday Holiday Movie.....Charlie Brown Christmas

I have always Loved this one too. Charlie Brown, Our favorite guy, Every year I wait for this one to come on TV...I try not to miss it. This is one cartoon that reminds me of being a kid all over again. I know we have all watched this at least once, and most of us each year.

Description From Amazon:
This half-hour Christmas show is one of the truly lovable animated specials in TV history, a status proved by its annual network telecast since 1965. A Charlie Brown Christmas was the first, and best, of a series of programs based on the Charles M. Schulz cartoon strip "Peanuts." Hapless hero Charlie Brown finds himself depressed at Christmastime, searching for the true meaning of the holiday amidst the glitz and commercialism of the modern age. Appointed director of the school holiday pageant, Charlie Brown ventures out with Linus to buy "a great, big, shiny aluminum Christmas tree." Instead they bring back a miserable tree--a real one. A Charlie Brown Christmas shows off the "Peanuts" gang doing what they do best: Lucy is bossy, Snoopy is crazy, Linus is sweet, and Pig Pen is, well, filthy. Instead of using adult actors trying to sound like kids, the production features real children providing the voices, an endearing effect. The jazz music score, composed by Vince Guaraldi, has become a classic in its own right; like so much about this program, it's an unexpected but perfectly right choice. --Robert Horton
