Snow much Fun!


Saturday was a snow day here for us. The girl's were so excited to have some snow to play in. I don't know if I am quite ready for winter...but I guess I have no choice in the matter.  We spent most of the day switching the girl's rooms.  Danica wanted a more "grown up room."  Since Amity's room was a little more grown up than hers, it worked well to just switch them instead of repainting everything. I am almost done, and can't wait to post some pictures of the changes. The girl's love their "new" rooms, so everyone is happy.



Since it was snowing outside, it put me in a Christmas mood! I thought I would post a fun and WAY easy craft I did last year.  I needed a few more ornaments for my tree, and found these glass balls at Hobby Lobby. I opened the top and filled some with shredded paper.  For the others I cut strips of scrapbook paper and rolled them tight. I stuffed them inside the balls and let them unwind naturally.  Then I found some rub on decals at the scrapbook store.  So fun, easy, and inexpensive.

Looks like you guys got a little more snow than we did. The boys played outside for about 10 minutes, but since they were sick, that's all they wanted. We can't wait to decorate for Christmas!

Erin,
Your kitchen makeover is absolutely stunning. I can't get over it. Every single detail is beautiful. I especially love the olive green you threw in there next to the white. Kudos to you!!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
