- My birthday was on Friday(Halloween) and My Man made it incredible. I got 2, yes TWO birthday dates. One on Wednesday, one on Thursday. The first was a lovely dinner to Olive Garden, the second was a marvelous replica of a date I cancelled on him 5 years ago that we never got to have. He created an entire picnic, took me to a park, and had invented the most fun game using clay, paper plates, watercolors, and poetry to remind us of what we love so much about each other. We watched the sunset as we ate chocolate pie in a park on possibly the last "warm-enough-to-picnic" day of the year.
It was heavenly. Pictures couldn't do it justice.
- My Man made me this for my birthday from scratch! It isn't quite done but I am ever so impressed :)
- He made me this birthday cake too!! (it is a tradition that we always make each other a fun cake:)
- Sabrina and I created lots, and lots, and lots of tears this week....and let me emphasize the "I" in that sentence. Having two toddlers can be very overwhelming. However, despite the struggles this week, my sweet daughter helped me take some real good inventory of who I am and who I want to become as a mother and a disciple. My newest (and most complex) creative project is going to be finding out exactly what the Lord needs me to do to help my child who is bright, determined and talented. I am excited to rely on Him more, and see what He has in store for us to create to help her.
- Sabrina and I took some much needed time for just the two of us and painted this together while listening to a conference talk (to help me unwind a bit:). She did all the leaves:)
- MamaT commented on our Box Troll post just a little bit back about making her own family of Box Trolls for Halloween. She and I corresponded a bit and look what she came up with!!!! Doesn't her family look amazing! Each of their characters match up with one from the show! Their family always coordinates their costumes. They.are.awesome.
- Almost my whole family came to our house for my birthday. It was wonderfully wonderful. My dad even wore a Halloween costume!!!!I love them...very, very, very much.
General Conference Painting
- I am a very visual
hands/on learner so I decided I am going to "create" something to help
me remember each apostle's talk from this last General Conference. Here
is my first creation. Elder Scott spoke of 4 Habits that I really want
to work to develop well. Take a few minutes to listen to his wonderful talk here: Elder Scott's Talk on 4 Habits
- Some other fun things we made this week:
Bone Breadsticks
Name skeletons
(all the ribs are our names, paper folded in half and cut out on the fold:) Got the idea from my Sister-in-law Tara :)
