girls – Page 24 – Lemon Drop Pie

As I was planning my writing for today, I was going to show you the cute craft we made for Christmas presents. But then I realized that the person who is going to receive those presents just might read my blog! So you’ll have to wait until later to see that cute craft.

Here’s another craft idea. Emmy loves to use glue, so I cut up some pictures out of leftover wrapping paper. I love the idea of using a glue stick since it’s less messy, but then bits of paper tend to fall off the craft once it dries. So I let the girls use school glue even though it squishes and oozes. (That makes it more fun than using a glue stick, too…for the girls, anyway!)

Here are the results of Emmy’s glue project. She even added a nice puddle of glue on the left side for special effect!

I was just complaining to a friend that the weather has been so cold and rainy that we haven’t gone to a pumpkin farm or apple orchard yet. When the weather has actually been decent, we’ve been fighting colds (all of us) or a migraine (just me.) But we’re not letting autumn pass us by. Sometimes nice weather surprises us; a rainy morning changes into a pleasant afternoon, or a crummy weather forecast turns out to be overly pessimistic.

See Emmy’s dirty nose? She tripped on the rake and did a face plant on the lawn, but it didn’t phase her one bit!
