Its that time of year again, I think I have had the girls do this every year but they like it and its fun.
This time we made sugar cookies and they icing them and we took 4 plates of treats around to people in the neighborhood.
little did I know that this would be my last activity.
I have enjoyed my time with the eleven year olds I will miss them and miss
planning activities but it was great while it lasted.
know I'm moving on to the 5 year olds (Payton's class.)
yippee I'm so excited.
This time for our activity we talked about being Grateful, and Giving Thanks.
They painted the blocks black and they could choose the paper and the
words, then pinned them on with Upholstery tacks.
This was the easiest little craft
ad they liked it.
I asked them what they are most grateful for and they all said
Friends, Family, Air,
Food, and Water.
I needed one of these too,
so I made it last week.
I cut out the black banner with my cricut and also the white stared circles.
The glitter letters I had on hand.
I just threaded brown ribbon thru the holes..
It was super easy and took little time.
I love thanksgiving,
I love watching the gratitude jar fill up.
I think there is a reason Thanksgiving is before Christmas.
Being fully aware of your blessing
and all you have,
and showing Gratitude
Defiantly gets you in the season
of giving.
Burlap is everywhere it seems like
and I thought a fall wreath would look good.
Better late than never. Right?
I know is the 12th of November and its kind of
getting late in the month. But I wanted to get
this made so badly. Orange burlap and
chevron ribbon and other ribbon all come from
Hobby Lobby.
I like it and glad its up.
We had a great time Trick or Treating!
Around our house we had a Baby, A Pirate, A Red Morph,
A Scary guy, A zebra, and a Witch!
Whitney was off track this year, so no school parade.
It was different not having to rush in the morning and not helping
in a classroom.
Not going to lie It was kind of nice!
Halloween is so much easier with kids that our older.
Until next year!
Once a year we have an activity with the girls and their Dad’s.
The girls ages from 8-12.
This year all the leaders decided on a night full of Food, Candy and Carving Pumpkins.
It was a fun night.
I was in charge of Invitations, something the girls could give their Dad’s,
prizes, and a treat for each girl.
This year Halloween just flew right by our house, (well almost we did make it to Gardner Village to see the witches and ride the ponies, and yes they dressed up and loved Trick or Treating) oh ya and yes we did carve pumpkins! So I guess it did make it to your house this year. It just went by so fast. Better late than never here our the moments we had this year!
