Kenzie's first project for school!

Hey everyone! How are you all? We are doing great! As I am sure you are aware, we are comming upon the Kentucky Derby, which is real big here. Kenzie brought home a note yesterday that all the kids needed to construct and take to school on Thursday a Derby Hat. It was to consist of flowers, horses and anything that would say "Derby" Well, Kenzie and I went to the Dollar Tree to get the supplies so we could make it. She picked out a pink and a purple cowboy hat. She had me help her cut dots out of the pink hat which we hot glued to the purple one. Then we attached a floral ribbon to it and put flowers around the rim with hot glue. On the top she put a horse and flowers with leaves under it. She said that the horse on the top was winning! It turned out real cute. I took a couple of pictures for you!

So, that is what we did last night and this mornig before Kenzie went to school. Maddie has been just great today. She does her own thing. When Kenzie got home from school, we took foam rectangles and glued pics of colored objects to them to make flash cards to help her learn her colors, so the pic of the green grass is glued to a green piece of foam. It really does look good that way, and we will be going over them at least daily. I will keep all of you updated on her progress. I am sure that the colors from our dishes help too because since I have fiesta dinnerware, I give her a choice between different colors for her to eat off of. She usually does well with that. I guess that does it for now!

    That is such an awesome hat. Cant wait til xander comes home with school projects!! Im definitly looking forward to that.

    Good luck to you also with the birthday thing, lol. For Xanders first we did Nemo. We chose a disney theme because we knew that it would be really simple and easy to get stuff for and then we put the movie on and let it run the whole day, if the kids wanted to watch it they could, lol. Xanders birthday is also in the middle of the summer, so we just set up a kiddie pool and all were happy, lol. Just a really big family party is what we did :D It was great, and i didnt really have to worry about anything.

    Have fun planning your party :D

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
