Crafts at Girl's Night:
My friend, Amy Whitney, is just awesome. She has taken ideas from pictures of crafts other people have done and we have done them ourselves. She's the creative mastermind behind them but I get to benefit! =) Here are some of the things we've done this month. We did some Eek! blocks and a magnetic Christmas advent calendar:
We even made a box to store all the magnets in! By the way, I have a great group of friends that do girl's night and it is so fun. We get together once a week and talk, bring treats, talk, and recently, we've done crafts. Have I mentioned we talk??!
Emily's New Baby:
My sister is having a baby in a few weeks and I have been doing some things to get ready to throw her a shower when I get there. I've also been making her a few things. Well, actually, my mother-in-law (who is an amazing seamstress) helped me...correction: made for me, blankets for her baby. Then, I also made her a nursing shield from our Relief Society Craft Night. Can't wait to go to Florida to see them soon!
Fire Station:
Sam's preschool went to the fire station and they got a tour and talked to the firefighters. They even got to go inside the truck and sit and wear their hats and earphones. Miss Kim's class even sang them a couple firefighting songs! Right before we finished, the truck got called and we got to see them get inside and drive away...pretty cool!
Pirate Day:
We went to a pirate day at the library with our good friends, the Dixons. They had a pirate hat making booth, how to talk like a pirate class, walking the plank, and digging for treasure. It was fun!
Other activities that I've forgotten to take my camera to:
Baby Derek: Ben's sister Amy had her baby on September 28. I gave her HypnoBirthing lessons and she was able to have a VBAC so that was very exciting!
Going to the Zoo: My wonderful sister got us an early Christmas gift of a membership to the zoo and Sam just loves it. We were waiting for the weather to cool down but the first time we went, he was just so excited at all the animals! Thanks Em!

The fire station also looks like it was a ton of fun! I love the pictures and Sam and Jared look like they had a wonderful time.

Wow...you have been busy! The baby blankets look soooo cute! I can't wait to see them in person. Those crafts are way cute too...isn't it nice to have adults to talk to instead of a 3 year old?

You are amazing! Way to go staying anxiously engaged. :) Very cute blankets and nursing cover. And I love the EEK! blocks. I am in charge of our Super Saturday coming up and one of the things we are doing is an idea I stole from YOU...the I Spy bags. So, thanks! :)
