Here is our finished Girl Scout jean bags from Saturday. All of the girls did great! For most it was their first time sewing and they were very excited. I embroidered each girl's name on their bags. I think we'll have more of these events here. After they left we kept right on doing crafts and made some melty bead ornaments for our Christmas tree. Then we made our favorite granola bars. After that it was on to the thankful tree.
Here is our Thankful Tree. There aren't too many "leaves" on it yet but it's starting to look more treeish. Every time we think of something to be thankful for we write it on a leaf and hang it on the tree. Even visitors can write one. Then on Thanksgiving we'll read them. Amanda and I thought it was a GREAT idea. Evan didn't. Darn that boy! He did add one leaf though. He said he was thankful for fires. It's a good thing we had a fire going or I'd be a little concerned.
Today we made 2 soups(split pea and sausage and bean) and froze what we didn't eat. We also finished the aprons. I'll have to get the kids to model them tomorrow. Evan had a sleepover last night at a friend's house and he was manic by 6:00 tonight. We had a QUIET evening until he passed out in bed. This week is vacation week! Wish me luck keeping the rug rats from killing themselves!!! Sophie goes in for surgery tomorrow so say a little prayer!
