Cold Days




So school was canceled yesterday and today for the frigid temperatures we've been having. Yesterday was a family day since John was off too. I put together a project for Em and she absolutely loved it! Check her out hard at work. Her snowman looks great. She is definitely a good gluer. She is so proud of her snowman. When she finished she raced downstairs to grab John so he could see it!

Then today I decided to venture out with her. A few weeks ago, Em accidentally dropped her piggy bank (the one she painted at Fired Up last August.) So I decided to take her back to make a new one. John wanted us to get a bigger bank but Em really wanted a fish one so that's what she got. Em piked out what colors she wanted. She wanted her fish to be green so I painted the base coat for her and then she went to town. Check out the mouth. She painted the lips and smile all on her own without any prompting. And when she was done, I did the finishing touches by adding the eyes. It is so cute I can't wait to see it next week when I can pick it up.I also used today as a way to get caught up on my blogging. It's been a while since I've put anything up. The thing is, I usually use the laptop upstairs and write my posts and then save them until I have time to upload some pictures on my PC. I've really got to get better and doing that on a regular basis so they don't all pile up on me. ;) Happy Reading!

I can't believe how well she does with painting! and the snowman turned out really great too! wow!

Did you know you can write posts to be published at a later time? When you are composing your post at the bottom there is a button you can click on, it says something list 'post options' and you can change the time/date it posts. Then when you have time you can write up a few dasy wroth of posts!

That's exactly what I do. It just takes me a while to actually upload the pictures so I can publish them.
