Craft Day

Well, this weekend was pretty boring, to be honest. Garry came home on Saturday but we didn't really do anything on Saturday or on Sunday. Jackson was absolutely WILD all day today, so I decided that we needed to do some crafts to keep him busy. The first thing we did was a Fall fingerprint tree. It was a lot of fun and Jack loved choosing where to put the different colors! 

I can't wait to frame it and put it somewhere that I can see it all of the time! I found the tree as a free printable online and I went into Photoshop and added the word "thankful". I think it turned out so cute!

After we did the tree, we were still not finished crafting, so I let Jack choose our next project. He chose to make a halloween pendant banner! Thankfully, I have a bunch of scrapbook and construction paper laying around and we had all of the colors we needed. Jack did the gluing and I did the cutting and coloring. Our banner has an owl, candy corn, werewolf, pumpkin, cat and "franken". Jack said that his favorite is the cat and I just can't choose my favorite! We are going to have to find somewhere fun to hang it where we can see it all of the time. Maybe we can hang it in the livingroom somewhere.

So, this happened a few days ago. While I was finishing unpacking my room, Jack was writing a letter to a friend at school. I thought that he was just "writing" until I saw this:

"JACKSON CONN AND ADDSEN LOVE HAPY FACE"

He wrote, with NO help, exactly what he wanted to say to his friend! Holy moly, that surprised me. I mean, he just turned five years old and he is already writing notes. I had to ask him if this little girl was a friend or a "girlfriend" and he said that she is just a nice friend. Whew....he is growing up so fast.

OH OH! I forgot! We watched "The Avengers" tonight and I laughed myself silly when this happened:

God only knows that if I were to be an Avenger, I would be The Hulk.
