Excited for Christmas (christmas snowflakes)

    We finally got our Christmas tree set up and presents are starting to be put under it. We are starting to decorate the  house too. We each got to make a few snowflakes to put up on our window.
It's a really easy way to make your house look extra Christmassy. Everyone did really well, even Kitt didn't need any help to make a fancy snowflake or two.

I'm so excited for Christmas!

Oreo cheesecake cookies

I love cheesecake, so one day I made Oreos with cheesecake filling.
First take an Oreo cookie and open it. Scrape out the filling and set aside.
Then take cream cheese and mix it with some sugar and milk.
Spread it on a cookie piece and put the other piece on top.

It's quite delicious!

Today, I asked Mom to cut me bangs. Here I am!


                                                       I made some beautiful flowers! I made them from Mom's jammies.I cut off the bottom of Mom's pants and stuck a pipe cleaner through the middle. I bent them into a circle and sewed a pom pom in the middle. They're great for hairbands or decoration.



I made a textured picture on an old ice cream lid. It was fun to add different things and Becky liked it. She liked how it felt. So I helped her make her own. Can you guess which one is her's?

Juice

Every morning, Dad gets up and makes a fruit and veggie drink. He puts sprouts, cucumbers, carrots, apples, oranges, mangoes, and cabbage. It's not very yummy when you first start out drinking it, but after awhile, it tastes refreshing. David, Olivia and I drink it every morning. Kitt doesn't like it. You should try it. It gets your morning started out right.

   I made a cute little yard and house for my pet shop animals. As you can see, I made a little paper book and a bed on the roof.
I think little things are super cute and it's fun and easy to make things for my little things.

   
     Today, I was a little bored so I found some pipe cleaners and paper. I made a little headband; this one for me and a flower one for my sister.

cooking my first cheescake

I made a yummy snack- mango cheesecake! Here are some of the things I put in it. First I crushed cookies, nut clusters and butter for the crust. Then I packed it down tightly into the pan. For the filling, I put cream cheese, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla and sour cream. I mixed it all up and poured it on top of the crust. Them Mom baked it.
I was glad that when I cracked the eggs, I cracked them into a bowl first, before adding them to the mix because two of the eggs were rotten. The rotten eggs were super stinky.
It tasted pretty good!

Crafty game


       We made a fun game of floor hockey using plastic lids for pucks and for hitting the pucks. We also used some wooden cookies. Rebecca loves when we play this game. Here is all of us playing this game on the floor.

DIY Magnets

       These magnets are easy and fun. I made a treasure chest and used foil for the treasure inside. I made cat, look how cute. I used my favorite quote for one and I made a few more just for fun. My brothers and sisters made a ton too. Now, our fridge is very decorative.

custom envelope

You can make your own envelope. Just make sure the rectangle in the middle is a little wider than the paper you want to send and that the rounded triangles on the sides will pass the halfway part when you fold it over.

my room



This is my room and my sister’s room. It’s very cozy and I love the big window. My one year old sister will move in here soon. Hope she likes it!

My sister is very tidy. Every day she makes sure there is never a single wrinkle on her bed. If someone sits on her bed, she will smooth it out and tuck it in right after they get up.








Mom also took us to the library while Dad was working. Here are some pictures of us in the children's reading room.

door sign

This is great for weekend sleep ins. If you want to not be disturbed, make this for your door. All it takes is toothpaste box, covered in paper, with the message of your choice. Then tape or staple a string to hand on your door.

Stationary Organizer

If you have a lot of small boxes you can make this really useful organizer. I used boxes from a pack of cereal. First tape all the boxes together with the opening on top. Then cover all of them with paper.
Decorate and cut a cardboard sign to tape to the front.
