Letter to Santa

I posted this on my Simply Complicated blog, but decided to post it here as well.  I have seen a really cute letter out there, but didn't want to spend a ton of money...so I decided to make my own.  I used a scrapbooking kit called Christmas Whimsy.  My boys loved filling out their letter this year.  I hope your little one's do too!  So, if you want to use it...just click on the picture & print.

Santa's List Day is coming up on December 4th...so this is right in time!

Stay tuned...

I am just about done Christmas shopping {squeal}!  I am almost back on my game & have started compiling some fun things for Christmas.  I am excited to get crafting with the kiddos again.  If you follow my other blogs...you may have already seen my latest project.  I decided to create my own Ugly Dolls for my boys for Christmas.  I can't wait until they open them on Christmas morning.

My favorite thing is the cute little heart that I put on their backside.  I love it!!! 

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Honesty

Ok.  I am going to be honest here.  I am having to cut some things back for my sanity.  I don't know how long this is going to last.  I am hoping not for too long.  I had great intentions of doing things for Halloween.  We still have done some fun things, but the crafting isn't happening.  Muffin Tin Monday isn't happening.  I have far too much on my plate & I have felt a little crazy.  So, to be a good mom...I am going to simplify things.  I will be back when I can, but I don't want to leave everyone hanging.  To be honest...this has been a tough bit for us & it will probably be for a little bit longer.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel & that gives me great hope.  However, I hope that you look back through my past posts for fun ideas until I come back with some new ones!

Halloween Stuff...

It has been crazy busy this month.  My house is not decorated for Halloween.  Muffin Tin Monday has been no existant in our house.  We have not been crafting lately.  I can hardly stay on top of dishes & laundry as it is.  I am sorry for my lack of posting, but I am sure that things will settle down & I will be back shortly.  I do have a few ideas floating around in my head.  But, I will leave you with a few past Halloween posts....

International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Aaaaaaaargh!!!  Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day!  Ye land lubbers get hunting for treasure & eating pirate grub.

Yesterday, we had a fun pirate party.  We made pirate swords out of newspaper & cardboard. {Thanks Alpha Mom!}  The swords were a HUGE hit!

We had sword fights.

& a treasure hunt which included a walk on "walk the plank" & some nice pirate booty in the treasure chest.

National Cheeseburger Day

There is something about a really good cheeseburger that just makes my mouth water!  Make yourself a yummy cheeseburger or go & let someone else make one for you!  I know what we are having for dinner!
