creating

The older boys went back to school today. With just the three of us at home, we returned to our normal routines. I even managed to get both the kids down for a sleep at the same time. I took the chance of some uninterupted time to jump on the sewing machine again. Caleb is the only one that has missed out on having something sewn for him, so this is what is laying on his bed waiting for him to return home from school. New PJs. I hope they fit! It was Craigs birthday a week ago and while he was at work the kids and I wrapped presents and made a cake and even blew up a few balloons. I thought we were all finished when Isaac piped up - "we gotta have birthday flags" . He loved helping me make all the birthday bunting for Jacintas 1st birthday party, and now thinks that along with a cake, a party needs flags LOL

I remebered this newspaper bunting that I had seen. I chopped up some triangles of newspaper and let the kids loose with textas and crayons. They did a great job, and it was nice to see them all co-operating and working together...for a change!
