1 Week 'til Christmas!

1 week 'til Christmas! I'm so excited but I have a lot to catch up on. I finished Kenna's scarf, Uncle Joel and Aunt Sarah's present, Grandma J's present, and Mommy and Daddy's present. But I still need to make Grandma and Grandpa's presents, Uncle Clint, Aunt Ski, Megan and Tabitha's presents and buy light sabers for Tobin and Arden. The boys are going over to Justin's house today, so Mommy said that while they are gone we might be able to go Christmas shopping for them.

I've learned to play quite a few more Christmas songs on the piano. Here are the songs I've learned to play: Good King Wenceslas, Silent Night, Joy To The World, We 3 Kings, Jingle Bells, and I'm still working on O Come All Ye Faithful.

Some of the treats we've made are: Peanut Butter Balls (we finished those), Dipped Ginger Snap Cookies, Chex Mix, and Chocolot Fudge.

I'm excited for Christmas but if I don't finish those Christmas presents we are never going to get them mailed out in time! See you later!

Craft Fair

Mommy signed me up for a craft fair, and when she told me I was very excited, but unfortunately we had forgotten all about it, so we spent all morning and part of the afternoon in the craft room making projects to sell at the craft sale. We had snowman thank you notes so even the littlest kids could write thank yous, post-it note pads, kids note cards, fancy tags to go on presents, paper ornaments, embossed and rub-on decorated gold ornaments, and 24 simple note tags in a cute little treat box to sell. It was so much fun! We had a lot of customers and earned $33.75! I spent $26 to buy a one verse for the Meetto Bible Translation. I have $7.75 left and I know what I'm going to spend $5 on.

At the craft sale there was a booth called Crafts by Alissa. She had hand knit scarves for stuffed animals and people, some jewelry, and bags made out of recycled Capri Sun juice boxes. I bought the lunch box made of recycled juice boxes, but the sewing at the top of the bag was ripped, so Alissa' going to repair it and bring it to Home school skate day, because both of us are going to be there. I'm going to take the money and pay her there. I'm going to put the $2.75 in my money jar. Well, I'm running out of things to say, and I need to vacume the family room carpet, so bye.

P.S. Like the picture I put up? It's my first picture on my blog. :-)

Home again

Well we got home from grandma and grandpa's house what seems like weeks ago! I guess we just got back to our normal life. Here are some of the things I've been doing:tracing ten of my hands on green construction paper, cutting them out, gluing them in a Christmas tree shape on black construction paper, (have not started decorating it yet)! Finished one puzzle, am working on a mouse puzzle now, learning new piano songs every day, reading a lot, doing lots of crafts, finished the Oz show (boo hoo, I want to do it again)! And we now have a slide in the basement. Actually it's just a cardboard box. But when you get on the closed up end and push yourself down the top of the slide goes down turning into a slide and when you plop of at the bottom the top bounces back up turning into a box again. It's so cool! Well I think that's all I have to say. Write again soon!
