I'm Back!

Wow! I have really been a blog slacker for the last few months. I really don't have a good excuse for the lack of blogging except for the fact that I got so behind on posts that I wanted to write about that I just lacked the motivation to even get started again. So, I am going to forget about the old updates that I wanted to post about and just start posting about the special occasions that happen from right now on.

Anyways, I just wanted to mention that these next few months are my favorite time of the year. There is just something about the holidays that excites me and makes me happy. So, since I want the kids to feel that same excitement, we have been busy going to different stores looking for fun holiday, projects to make. I found a cute candy necklace kit at Shopko that I figured Dillon and Braylon would be able to put together. Here are the boys putting the candy on the string.





Sadie was content to just ride around in her walker.



The finished product...





Overall, after a few "I can't do it!" meltdowns, it was a fun activity for the boys. I plan on doing a lot more projects with them in the next couple of months to get them into the holiday mood.

You are such a good mom, Jackie!! :) Cute project, too! Even my kids would enjoy that, I think!

Glad to see you back in the blogging world! Keep up the good work! :)

Yay! I'm glad you're back. It's hard keeping up with the blog so I don't blame ya. We're excited to see you guys next week. It seems like it's been awhile. Oh and I saw the video Jarom sent Andrew of Sadie walking. It was so cute! Hope to see it in real life.
