Fuzzy Lil' Guy

Friday night Kaitlin and I made a Fuzzy Lil' Guy!

Step 1. Make a pom-pom.
(Wrap yarn around a small book. Then, slide the yarn off the book, tie it together and cut all the loops.)



Step 2. Decorate your pom-pom with chenille pipe cleaners, googlie eyes, and anything else you'd like.

Step 3. Love your new Fuzzy Lil' Guy.

Monday Madness

This morning I took Zoey in for her two-month doctor visit. She already weighs 11lbs, 0.5 oz! She's very healthy and right on track on all the growth charts. As some of you know, we're still following up on her initial hearing screen. We took her to an audiologist last week, and have another appointment scheduled later this month. So far, the news has been good.

Tonight we did another craft project with Kaitlin: Sun Catchers



We raided Kaitlin's crayon box and took out all the broken crayons. We peeled the crayons and used a vegetable peeler to make crayon shavings. We used the colorful shavings to make a rainbow, a flower, and a multi-colored bullseye. (A low iron setting melts the crayon wax between two sheets of waxed paper.) We even added string so we could hang the sun catchers by the window!

A fun project ~ but probably too much for Kaitlin... she kept wanting to pile all the colors on top of each other. Silly girl!

We're anxious to see how they'll look in the morning when the sun shines in the window! ;)

Scary Halloween Masks

Last night we had another Halloween craft night!
We decided to make Scary Halloween Masks. Kaitlin chose to make a pumpkin mask. Brandon chose Frankenstein, and I made a witch. We even made a mini ghost mask for Zoey!

It was a lot of fun... and now we have our backup Halloween costumes! hahaha...
