Tangled

Megan, Nathan and I went to the movies last night to see Tangled. It was so good. We all loved it. It's definitely one I want to buy when it comes out on DVD. Dan saw Unstoppable. He said it was really good. It was the most intense movie he's ever seen. And it has to be really intense in order for him to say that.

I won the last level of Nathan's Astroboy DS game yesterday. I don't know why, but I loved playing that game. I spent too much time on it, though. It's hard for me to put it down once I get started. Anyway, I was excited that I beat every level.

Dan put up our tree this weekend. It looks so pretty. I hate putting up the tree, but I love it when it's up. I love it that Dan puts it up.

Today was the primary presentation. The kids did a really nice job. It was Megan's last one, which is sad! She and Nathan both did a nice job with their parts. They had both practiced their parts several times, so they did great. It was so cute to hear Nathan read his part.

Crafts

I have been in a really crafty mood lately. We bought white shirts at Walmart the other day and then used Christmas fabric to decorate them. This is the shirt that I made for Megan. She goes to Tri Start Gymnastics, so she wanted that on her shirt. I used fabric that I already had around the house for all of these projects.
I asked Nathan if he wanted a train or a robot and he said a robot. I think it turned out really cute, although he needs a mouth.

I made a bow tie for Nathan. I love it! He wore it today for the Primary presentation.



Here are the shirts, along with a skirt that I made for Gabby. I hope it fits her. I didn't use a pattern, so we'll see.



I thought the penguins were missing something, so I crocheted them these hats. I think they look better.
Next on the list is a pair of cloth shoes for Cambryn and a crocheted sweater for Molly and some more ties for Nathan.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nathan made this cute turkey at school last week. He loves it and played with it quite a bit after bringing it home. Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!

Penguins


I've taken up crocheting again. I haven't crocheted anything in years, but I found some cute amigurumi patterns and decided to give it a try. My first project was to make these cute penguins for Nathan. The body is crocheted and the eyes, beaks and stomachs are felt. Nathan loves them and has decided they are father and son. It was fun to do something crafty again.

He cracks me up!

Tonight Nathan and I were checking out his new Lego City Advent Calendar. As I was opening the Amazon box, he was just bursting with excitement. He said, "God has blessed me." It totally cracked me up.

When I was putting Nathan to bed tonight, he was waiting to see if his toot was going to stink up the room or not. After a minute he said, "Mom, the smell isn't smellable."
