carboard

The June gloom came in August this year and we have had many a day with a foggy morning and breezy afternoon. I am not complaining though because we had an amazing June and July and I wouldn't trade it at all. But with the cooler weather we have done some more inside activities. One night I dumpster dove for some carboard boxes and made a kitchen for Hallel and a car for Simeon. They were super fun to make and didn't cost a thing. I used old material, old playdough, fruit baskets, a silver mixing bowl for the sink, and some foil for the burners. I got most of the ideas out of Parents magazine and then improvised some of my own. It was a fun project. Of course the next day they were destroyed and by the end of the week totally trashed. I love how being a mom keeps me humble in the most simple matters of life. But something I did notice throughout the week was how they made it their own toy and interpreted it through their own eyes. They had a blast and that's all that I hoped for anyways.

The past week I've noticed that every time Lita cries that Simeon says to her,"it's ok Lita I'm here, I'm right here." It is the sweetest thing ever. Unfortunately, Lita doesn't know what he is saying but she sure does love her brother. I just keep wondering how many times the Lord has said, "it's ok Stacy I'm right here, don't worry or cry."

  4. In this competitive world, news information is like knowledge recourses that educate us about various world wide activities and
    the activity within the society, even in the surrounding etc.
    What is interesting is that you get to read news and analysis that
    give you an entirely different perspective, rarely seen in corporate-sponsored media.
    On you left you will notice list of content providers and on the right is
    the advanced search option where you can search video clips by typing in the exact phrase (in quotes), or at
    least one of the keywords to narrow down your search.

  5. Countless teenage parties have been spiced up by this
    funny little game, and countless adolescent mischiefs have amused
    millions of young people. But my favorite is the link that tells
    you about bad dates stories, of course they are the funniest.
    And if you are not ready for it, then believe it, your boredom will stay.

  7. Based on my own experiences I am going to make five recommendations that I wish someone had
    made to me to help take the fear out of fitness. The reason this is important
    is because you will have a stronger knowledge base and
    bag of tricks to keep you going on the rougher days.
    The decisive factor is that men would want to show themselves as hot and rock
    solid before the fashionable ladies as ever.

  9. I've listened to this a dozen or more times and still find it delightful and sooooo original in concept. We realize that we don't
    need to listen to outside authorities; we are not guided by our internal authority.
    Due to the recent horrifying terror attacks and other such couple of events people want to be aware and alerted of the whereabouts of the nation.
