Ok First of all I did something bad to my blog!  I changed the way you write a post and now it's very weird and I have to upload one picture at a time... :(   Fiddlesticks.  If anyone can help me change it back that would be great since I can't find how I did it!

Anyways today is a crazy blizzard day and so we are staying home all warm and safe!  We made a few popcicle sticks crafts.  I saw Jill and Maddie do a tree like this so Becca made one too!  She was so good at it!  I traced the shape of each stick on the paper and told her to put glue on the paper and then put the right stick on it and she did!  She would look at the stick first and make sure she had the right size.  After we were done that part I let her glue a diamond on top and then we needed a trunk!  So after that she declared that it was an elephant...wrong type of trunk sweetie!

Then she made a triangle and a "W" for "wickey" its what she calls her grandma!

Snow day!

It snowed here yesterday so we heading out for a good romp!

Rebecca loves it so much more this year. She kept trying to build a snowman but there was only an inch on the ground so I helped and we made a mini snowman, he is pretty cute with his leaf hat! lol

She was so excited and I love the pictures I got, they capture the pure joy that a bit of white stuff can bring! She was saying "hurray snow!" it was so much fun.


We then ventured into the backyard and she went on the deck and decided to play in the sandbox! Crazy kid.

Muffin Tin Monday, well sort of

I see so many other people do this so I wanted to join in! I don't have a little muffin tin, but I will get one! So here is her "tin"... A bologna and ketchup sandwich cut into Minnie mouse, cheese, ants on a log, AKA peanut butter and raisins on celery, and a few more raisins. She ate everything except the celery. I guess it was too much chewing.

Craft time

This past week Becca and I made a few crafts. First we did a crazy Styrofoam ball/googly eyed type of thing. I didn't really plan it out we just kinda did it....lol I took some Popsicle sticks and stuck the Styrofoam balls on top and glued on some googly eyes and buttons. She loves gluing stuff. The we made a Popsicle man with more googly eyes and buttons, then she decided she had enough. Here is a crazy picture of the gang!




Then I decided to try her out with beading. I didn't however, have any beads to use but I found some buttons. So I gave her some buttons and a pipe cleaner and showed her how to put a button on and she gave it a try. She absolutely loved this and worked very hard at it, I could tell because she breathes heavy when she concentrates! She put quite a few on and then decided she wanted to wear it so I tied it around her neck for her and she was so proud!




The next day we went to her Grandma's house, who pretty much has a craft store in her house, and Becca got to make a necklace and bracelet out of real beads and wire, not a pipe cleaner. To my surprise she did it quite well and didn't even get mad! She learned quickly after a few attempts to hold onto the bead while she got the wire all the way through, because unlike pipe cleaners, it will slip away.

So I am definitely getting her a bead set for Christmas. :)
