I found a great site for kids crafts... http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/
The preschool crafts are awesome. I like it because it shows a picture of the craft, gives the supplies needed list, and then gives detailed, step by step instructions. I'm printing some of them out and going to have a binder of crafts we can do when we are in the mood. Like now, we'll concentrate on Halloween stuff, next month Thanksgiving stuff, in December xmas stuff. Jessica is in her glory. She's really into puppets lately, so we made hand puppets, finger puppets, etc. She made an awesome picture of Daddy, even with his baseball hat on. That's a keeper, she draws people so cute. Jon even got in the action. He did his first coloring page. I just gave him a blank page, and some crayons and colored pencils to keep him entertained while we were doing our crafts. He didn't really know what to do, but then finally started coloring. I remember Jessica's first piece of art, she was 18 months I think, and it's just a bunch of dots... he was at least scribbling slightly, it's cute. But he's still puts stuff in his mouth, so I had to watch him.

I'm glad I am feeling more coordinated with this bunch. I can actually get cleaning done, and make every one happy and keep them entertained. We actually go out in public and it isn't such a huge ordeal. I'm glad because next week we are BUSY. And now her orientation was moved to Thursday, so I have a doctors appointment, then we are going to go to orientation, that should be interesting.

I went to Michael's today, and got in trouble in the candy/cookie making aisle. Jessica will be very excited to make halloween cookies and chocolate candies, hopefully they come out. I got all the stuff to decorate them and everything. My parents didn't do much with me as a kid, so I am definitely making up for it with my kids. Holidays will be awesome... filled with crafts, and candy/cookie making, I even bought a cake pan that had ghosts and pumpkins. And I am not much of a baker/decorater, but I'm going to try.

I went to Office Max because I was out of colored ink. Jeff usually goes, but since I was out I went. He said they take back used ink. I brought them in, but they said they have a new program, that you bring the ink in, and then get emailed the coupon. Before he just brought it in, and got 3 bucks off. Now you have to have a card. Of course I looked like an idiot... but they started this program in July. Oh well.

I went to the chiropractor, ahhh, feeling much better. I am trying to stretch it out to every other week now because 20 bucks a visit is a killer. Then went to Big Boys and met a friend. Our intentions were to eat, then walk the mall. I talked her ear off, and we didn't leave until 830pm, then stood outside talking for 20 minutes freezing our asses off. I get along with her so well. And I was so proud that I ate rabbit food there. Of all the choices I picked chicken salad. Amazing. And she was trying to talk me into dessert, and I declined... I can't believe it. Yesterday I had a brownie, then brought some chips and pop down here to watch "The biggest Loser". I felt rediculous eating that while watching that kind of a show, but that's what kind of a mood I was in. Bloated and miserable. Oh well, as long as I can keep trying... but it's tough, there's a brownie upstairs calling my name, but I think I am just going to go to bed!
