I love my blog readers, my friends. Within minutes of a posting of my infamous mommy melt down musings today, I had comments, emails, and instant messages of amazing encouragement. I felt hugged and all warm and fuzzy…all day long.
We took it easy today. We met some friends at the park for a 2 hour nerf gun war and some amazing homeschool life conversation between me and my great friend that I met at Bradshaw, the kids former school. We are both homeschooling now. We both went into homeschool, kicking and screaming (her classy and mildly and me full on tantrum). I always enjoy conversations with her. I have known her for almost 5 years since the first week we moved to Sacramento. She speaks wisdom.
After some naps and chill time this afternoon, we got out the sewing basket for the girls to practice their Martha Stewart skills. Last week, I bought an Easter basket at Joann’s and filled it with plastic buttons, giant needles, felt, yarn and some plastic shapes to sew. I got the idea of the felt and buttons from the Well Rounded Mama.
Here was one of the finished products.
The basket cost $10 to put together. Well worth it.
I am happy to have made it through today. I am happy that there is only 71 school days left until summer.
cute basket idea!
Hang in there! Love the smiles on your daughters! Also love the tiny pup!!!
small world…my two older went to Bradshaw too before I took them home to homeschool. Such a long time ago.
What a fun project. Your girls are too cute. PS We have those adorable plastic colorful buttons too. They are so much fun.
Hi Darcy! I found you through FFF on MBC. I love the look and feel of your blog – very shabby chic!
My 4 year old is a total project girl. She starts every day with, “Mommy, what special thing are we going to do today?” I feel like I always have to have a new and different project for her to complete.
