This morning I decided I was going to go to JoAnn's to get some material for a few projects I wanted to do over spring break. I had no intention of doing them today. When I told Aly where I was going, she got so excited and said, "They have crafts there!!" Of course, she wanted to go with me to pick one out. Hannah stayed home and took a nap with Daddy and we spent the afternoon running errands...which may or may not have included a stop at Starbucks for a Mocha Frappiccino and a juice box! She brought her little purse and baby into every store we went into and told me how she was becoming a 'big girl'. She is right, she is such little lady. It is amazing how mature she is becoming! We had a great time together today - just the two of us. I know I am weird, but my best friends are 2 and 4 years old!!
When we got home, we got to work. The girls and I had a craft party while Dan watched the game with some friends. They painted some fairies and a princess piggy bank (she started a 'Disney World' fund) and I made a slipcover for my camera strap and a pillow for each of the girls. It was a lot of fun. I am so glad that they love to do crafty things! We are going to have craft WEEKENDS when they are older!! Here are some pictures:
Here is one of the frogs Aly painted...it is an abstract interpritation.
Here is the slip cover I made for my camera. I am going to make a different one and add padding, now that I know what I am doing...hopefully the lens cap pocket will turn out a little better too. I think it needs a button to keep it closed. I will post pictures of their pillows and the story behind them when I get them done!!
I am sooooo glad I have two fun little girls to share my hobbies with!!
