blocks/new years projects!

 i fianlly got to start my block project.  new yrs eve. ha.  i got the idea from our kids ministry program, it was one of the projects we choose not to use. i found my own download on line (so i did not use orange for my personal use)  i printed them out in color, cut them out and had chris cut up a bunch of blocks from an old 2x4 that he wasnt using. i then got a modge poge (sp???) for paper and wood and simply glued the paper onto the blocks.  it took 3 coats and voila done!

the kids love playing with them and i am finding them all over the house to prove that. haha

nate's new years book

i printed a bunch of different questions/printable from a bunch of different sites (all for home school/personal use copy write) and made my own book for him

 i had him start it yesterday, he answers the questions when he feels like it. i told him when he's done i will put it away for next yr to read and save for the future

 the blocks on display which was taken a part right after this pic was taken.  chris is a bit surprised by how the kids have taken to them

 working on his book, while ellie sneaks in another snack!

and  now  to start another new year!  i plan on spending the day taking down the tree and cleaning but so far i have eaten, slept and had another snack and another nap. haha. oops...

chris and i had a wonderful night last night. i planned a surprised in house date for him, i put the kids to bed and we spent the evening doing adult things bawahhhhh  it was so nice. quiet. what a great way to start the new year

i wonder what this year will bring us? ...................
