See? And there's her Year of the Rabbit shirt, too. This opens up a whole new world for her, clothing wise, so I'm anticipating some more hemming in my future. The downside is that Katie won't be able to wear her hand me downs. Even if I removed the re-hemming, Katie's not at all "husky."
Me: I'll just take a quick picture of the jammies I made for grandbaby Kasen...
Grumman: No.
Sigh.
There we go. Finished and mailed! I have 3 more pairs cut out, but it may be a while before I finish those.
Fortunately, Zach & Heather made a smaller version. This is Nolan, who's brand new. I don't like this business of being 2 time zones away from the grandkids.
The first week, the students painted with cosmetic sponges on the back side of the lantern printouts. We let those dry, and then the next week, they cut the lanterns out, added a bunny for Year of the Rabbit, and used gold marker to write 2023, then added red yarn to hang them up.
When I told Paul, "I Crikey-ed 50 bunnies this morning," he said I should have just Crikey-ed 2 and waited.
Milestone visit for Hannah. She gets to change to annual visits with the doctor at Shriners, instead of every 6 months.
I'm currently 33% through this one. Young Winston Churchill has just escaped from captivity and found himself alone in a hostile country. I'm thinking this is a book I should have read before seeing the Churchill War Rooms in London. His toy soldiers and other bits of memorabilia would have had more meaning for me with the back story.
Oh Grumman.
So... a while back, Grumman would occasionally bring me a sock. Then he started bringing me the occasional kitchen towel. One recent morning, I woke up to find he'd hauled ELEVEN bits & bobs up the stairs to my bedroom door. Methinks he really wanted in.
February is Dental Health Month. We got toothbrushes & paste from Colgate, and I added a printable book from Twinkl and made up little gift bags. I wanted to put stickers in them, but I restrained myself for budgetary reasons.
My not quite finished February bulletin board. I'll be making the koalas with my 3rd graders next week. I feel like this one will only be done for a couple weeks before I switch it out to St. Patrick's Day.
Fortunately, it seems like time is moving faster now that we're back in schools and hitting all the crafty holidays. I feel like CNY, Valentine's, St. Pat's, and Easter will see us through to Spring Break. And, I heard that both Annaliese and Brianna plan to visit home (at different times) this year, so that gives me another something to look forward to.
Love the scissors trick. Your sewing talents are a wonder too. I hope you have a blessed week. Blessings, Dawn
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn! I think I'm learning as much as the kids some days, as I find more efficient ways to do things.
DeleteWait! You have another grandbaby!?!?!?!? I'm feeling confused because I thought one was added just a while ago, and now I'm wondering what on earth I'm remembering. :)
ReplyDeleteAt any rate! Hurrah for new grandbabies!!!
And crikey-ing 2 rabbits and then waiting?
So, so, so funny!!!!!
Kasen is 18 months old now! Time flies, eh?
DeleteAnd hooray for Hannah having new wardrobe options. What a wonderful mom you are!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see if I can get her to try baggy culottes. If I buy them capri length in women sizes, I might not have to fuss with the hem. Probably require some trial and error, but Shriners says she's done growing, so if we can find something that works, we're set.
