Happy Saturday to you! I didn't get to create anything yesterday, but my girls did!
They had a super fun day, starting at 6am, when they woke up! Yes, they didn't need to get up since they had no school, but up they were and rarin' to go. We did a little shopping, where they got a couple of dollar item treats. Then I bought them lunch on the way home. After lunch, Hattie, John and Susi came by for our playdate. They didn't get to stay as long as we'd hoped, but they still had loads of fun. After they left, the girls went outside to play with the neighbor kids. They deemed it too cold and windy and they all trooped over to our house. So, I had kids around all afternoon! I had to shoo one boy home because our dinner was on the table. LOL Then came the most exciting part of the day.
We went to their school for a class on creating sock creatures! The art teacher found this book last year and had held a class on it last school year. Hattie participated and made THE most adorable sock creature. She offered it again this year and the girls wanted to go. So after dinner we headed over with our socks, buttons and supplies. I thought about taking my camera, and sort of wished I had, but I also knew I was going to be busy helping the girls sew and might not be able to take pictures. That was the case. I'm sorry though, because it was just TOO sweet watching them sew. They were SO excited! We didn't get home til after 8pm (remember they'd been up and going since 6am). By that time, even Mommy was exhausted!
They didn't have quite enough time to actually finish their projects, so immediately upon waking up this morning (at a more respectable 7am) they got back to work!
Here are the results of their efforts...complete with bed head...
The girls did the work themselves. I cut out the ears for Jessica's creature, but she did ALL the sewing herself! I even had to take off one eye because it "wasn't perfect," and she wanted to sew it on again in the right spot (little miss perfectionist!) I found this pair of knee socks at Walmart and oh boy, do they stretch! LOL
There were lots of awesome creatures being made. It definitely was a fun time.
Today, Daddy is taking them to Lowe's for their kids' craft session. Apparently they will be making cars and having a race of some sort. Mommy is gonna pass on going and look forward to hearing about all the fun. See, Mommy invited Daddy to go last night and it wasn't his cup of tea, and making cars isn't Mommy's cup of tea either. So Daddy and his daughters can have a special memory making time, just like Mommy did last night. (plus Mommy has had a LOT of special kids time the past few days(Jessica had Daisies on Thursday...all the kids over yesterday and then last night's fun) and thinks it's Daddy's turn right about now...LOL
So hopefully Mommy will get to create some neat stuff of her own! Check back later and see if I'm successful...
Thanks for stopping by!
