Playing catch up here!

So, I have been a bad poster lately.  My apologies.  We have just been so busy with ice storms and sickness in our house!  But, we're finally on the mend.  In the last month, Kaitlin has had two rounds of strep, we've had five days with no school (on school days!), and I've had a really nasty cold.  Despite all this, life has still managed to go on.

We spent our snow days in the company of our neighbors - traipsing back and forth to each other's houses and keeping each other company.  I already mentioned this in my last post, but I'll share pics now of some of the crafts we worked on.....

As you can see, I got a little desperate on day three and had to bust out the sewing machine.  The girls had a great time crafting!

For Valentine's Day, the girls made crafts for their teachers - fleece scarves!  This was a fun craft.  I cut two pieces of fleece, ten inches wide, and sewed a straight stitch down the middle.  Then the girls cut fringe and tied it.  They  turned out "sew" cute!  The girls enjoyed making them, my pocketbook enjoyed the price, and the teachers enjoyed the gift.  All good!

All finished!

So, enough of crafting!  The girls are great - getting back into the swing of things at school.  I think they are really glad to be back and into our normal routine.  Last weekend was filled with Girl Scouts, birthday parties, and for Kaitlin and I, a special treat to the Justin Beiber Movie.  It was a special treat for her.  I went for the company, not the content!

Oh Baby, we're ready for the movie!
