Here at the L Family House we had a good and possibly productive weekend. Saturday Mr. L had to work so the kiddies and I hit up the Wal*Mart and found a couple of gifts for Mr. L & a few last minute items for others. We shipped out some packages, I wish I could say I shipped out all of our Christmas packages - but no. I have all the letters folded, sealed & stamped, headed to our friends & family - I know I am so behind this year. It's just crazy.
Saturday night - after our fire & movie together all five of us told bedtime stories, Emma and Mr. L even brought out some good ole zombie tales of Santa having his brains eaten. We have such culture.
Sunday I made lots of jars of "Country Oatmeal" cookies to gift to teachers & staff while the kiddies worked on cards to give to all their classmates. Yes, they colored 23 cards each and wrote ... "From Cody" & "From Jack" that many times. And better yet they loved every minute of it. Once our somewhat "crafty" morning was over we had a quick lunch and went out to pick up a few grocery items, and get our weekly coffee - out. Thank you McCafe for those lovely freebie coupons. Then we got home and worked on some more snowman crafts - got out the old hot glue gun - now we are talking crafts.
School bags are packed, kids are showered and in pjs, teeth are brushed & mommy had a minute to blog. What. This leaves only a bedtime story - or three, then its time for bed.
A little disappointed there is no Dexter to watch tonight. Ugh. Sunday.
Two day school week and then its two weeks of vacation. What fun.
I purchased new patterns - from NeedleCraft Patterns, so I am now able to make Slipper {boots} for bigger kids too! All the way up to size 13 toddler shoe. I am just loving them and currently am working on a few pairs.
Almost makes me wish I hadn't already purchased Emma some super cute pom pom slippers at Old Navy a few weeks ago for Christmas. Of course I don't really wish that - because then I would have ONE more thing to add to my list.
I also got this pattern to make these crazy cute kimono shoes. I am loving them in this fabric pattern - I will definitely have to make a few pairs of these to list in my shop. You know - when I get a minute.
