Ok so my kids aren't couch potatoes....they watch a few shows a day. I just had to take a picture of them because I love my kiddos so much and they make me laugh all the time. Also I love the brother-sister relationship. I grew up being BEST buds with my brother so as I watch them play together I can't help but be reminded of me playing ninja turtles one minute then a little later he would play school with me. Or he played dolls with me and then I played cars with him. It was the best of both worlds.
ps- I always said I would let my kids wear "graphic" t-shirts--I don't know why I just like my son in polo shirts for some reason. But lately Ryker ONLY wants to wear his Buzz shirts EVERYDAY. He has always liked them and I let him wear them on Saturdays but now that he dressed himself he will get these shirts out of the dirty clothes and put it back on. Needless to say it is a struggle every morning. Then we have Ms. Mills who LOVES shoes. Look at her sportin' these adorable boots from Nana.
Ok you all know my crazy love affair with FELT. I hope to whip these Thanksgiving yummies in the next week.
So I think advent calendars are so fun and was planning on making one for Thanksgiving. Well Nana loves to spoil her grandkids and saved me and Missy hours of work. She got this for us and Ryker doesn't let a night go by without us writing down what we are thankful for. What a great tradition we have to look forward to each year.
It is not to late to make a simple one.
Now for my latest craze....Homemade Christmas gifts. I'm going to try and post different things you can make for your munchkins. This first one I DIDN'T make. I'm going to copy the idea. But I'm going to make a "Disneyland" play mat since my son is a Martineau and obsessed with the happiest place on earth. I will post when finished.
This is the first Christmas project I have finished and LOVE it. Me and my friend Amanda have been getting together once a week to work on projects. When I was done with it i told her I wanted to keep it for myself and play dollies. Did I mention I love toys. So here is Amelia fabric mini dollhouse. It opens and closes and has a handle on top so se can take it anywhere.
I make Rykers simple and bought him some army guys to play with. See, boys can be just as fun- just not as frilly.
Well if anyone is interested in the pattern, let me know....I can send you the blog it is on. I need to learn how to put links from my blog to others. I know, I know-- everyone knows how to do that but me. Hopefully this got your creative juices flowing. More ideas to come.

I think Millie takes after me with the shoes :)The houses turned out way cute!! I love it. Also I want to make the activity playmat too and even though my sons last name isn't Martineau he will still love Disneyland since he is one heeHee
I love all your ideas. I am super in love with the Thankful countdown. I am going to have to copy it!
Way cute miss crafty leah!!I would totally love the pattern! What a good gift idea too.
really cute crafts. I love the home made christmas gifts idea. We did that last year for the Goodmans white elephant exchange and it was awesome! You really can see peoples talents that way! One year we should do it for our exchange!
also, did you ever get my email about that dvd? sorry once again to hound you about that. Just making sure it went through.
Oh my goodness - your talent amazes me. You are awesome! The Thanksgiving Advent Calendar- I die! Seriously you are awesome!
So cute and crafty! I love it.
You are so creative. I'm going to make Christmas gifts this year too, but these look hard. You're kids are lucky to have a crafty Mom. It's sad to say I've never been to Hobby Lobby, it opened not long before we moved. It bet it's awesome though. The calendar is a cute idea for Thanksgiving.
