Bring on the Crafts!

Now that the holiday craze is past, we are trying to get back into the swing of "normal" life. As I have continued my routines around the house by following this gal , the boys have also been asking for activities from my favorite website. This fun craft that we did today came straight from NTFFC. All you need is a little glue, marshmallows and adorable kids! :)

Rylan is hard at work. After they counted and glued 5 they could eat one. Then they had to count to 10, then 15, then 20. They didn't even know they were learning! :)
Just because they are twins does not mean they are the same. Rylan glued in a random order and left spaces between the marshmallows. Jacob was very orderly and logical/mathematical in his gluing. The wonders of God creating us as individuals never cease to amaze me.

Ta-da! The finished products!

Hope you have fun crafting. It is suppossed to get in the 20's here...which is totally unheard of! I'm lookiong forward to ma night on the couch with a cup of hot coccoa and my newest obsession...

Words

Out here in bloggy world, there is a trend to pick a word to be your word of the year. There was no way for me to narrow it down to one word, so I am stealing from my wise friend Lacie. Last year she picked one word for each month. I wrote her words on a post-it and it is right here by my computer. So for 2010, I am going to steal her words again and share with you too!

January - Focus
February - Forgiveness
March - Quietness
April - Sacrifice
May - Nature
June - Family
July - Learning
August - Simplicity
September - Routine
October - Hospitality
November - Thankfulness
December - Joy

No restraint...

Can you resist?!?!?!
