So.. here are some pictures of Alyse and I on a bug hunt... This girl LOVES her bugs! |
We put them in a empty wipe box so that she could look at them up close |
It was perfect because she could look at them through the little hole in the top and they had air to breathe.. |
But most of the time that wasn't a close enough look for Alyse |
Ladybug |
Bee |
Trying to hold her ladybug |
"I love them momma!" |
Before she gets dressed for the day she'll look out the window for bugs- she even finds them in the window sill... yuck! |
Alyse even managed to get a..... bug bite..!! |
Yes, my son is eating chocolate pancakes with his sucker as a fork... I am such a nice mom... |
Not too thrilled |
Sundays seem to be our deep clean day. We come home from church and put the kids down for a nap and CLEAN away... |
All these things were found under our bookcase... |
Jerm fake smiling because I told him to... |
Grant loves to ride the vacuum. |
He pretty much loves everything about it |
Especially the cord |
He plugs the vacuum into the vacuum... |
we have lots of fun with the vacuum until he tries to eat it... |
I wasn't very popular after that |
Also on sunday we made some homemade spaghetti sauce with our home-grown tomatoes!! |
We had 13 pounds of tomatoes to make into sauce!! I think thats ALOT for just 2 bushes of tomatoes. |
puree'd tomatoes |
The recipe told us that we needed 1 3/4 pounds of tomatoes in each batch so.... we weighed them (didn't work) |
then jerm weighed himself ("I need to start running") |
Then he weighed himself WITH the tomatoes... (worked?? who knows for sure) |
This is where alll the magic happenned... The sauce rocked!! We make a ton and stuck them in gallon sized bags in the freezer!! |
I made a fabric barn (finally) for Grant for Christmas!! |
I really really really like it!! It only took me 1 1/2 hours to make because I decided to hot glue it instead of sew it!! and I didn't use any batting! I LOVE it!! |
The back of the barn |
And the inside!! |
I used minkie fabric and some felt for the grass.I think it turned out really cute! |
A little pond |
The chicken coop |
I found these stickers for $3 and I hot glued them to some felt and stuffed them to make them 3D so my kids could play with them. |
Side view of the pig... Just a little more to hold onto that a sticker... |
Chicken! |
Felt backing |
"Cluck!" |
All the farm animals!! |
Quack Quack!! |
Oh! and I made a bale of hay for the horse out of yarn. Alyse told me that it was "really awesome" I had never heard her say that before so it must be cool.... :) |
I would LOVE to make more of these barns or dollhouses and sell them. If anyone would like one I would prob. sell them for $20. Im sure they are going to be lots of fun for my kids during sacrament meeting!! :)

I loveddd this post! Lots of pictures and you didn't just write out what happened you showed with pictures and even made it interesting with your commentary! Great Job Britt! PS- the barn looks amazinggggg!!!! When we get into our new home we should definately have a craft night!
Great idea to put the bugs in the wipe case. Would have never thought of that.
That barn is amazing!!!! I love it!! If I ever have a kid, I just might ask you for one!
This is so cute. I am very proud that you can do so many creative things! The kids are growing and so cute. I am appalled at your grammar, so I couldn't vote for the educational reason to read your blog!
Love you bunches! Gma!!
That barn is awesome! Right now I am gathering things to make one of those look and find quiet toys. It kept Devin reverent all during church the week you visited us so I am sure we need one :)
Very cute post! I can't believe Grant is walking already!
