Yeah, Another Month

I've written this post in my head so many times that I don't even know what really happened. Every time I sit down to actually post something interferes. Blissfully, Jake took Cooper and Luke to Bass Pro Shops and I have a few hours of peace. I'm so excited!


First of all,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO POOKER!

Our big boy finally turned 3!! I feel like I've been a mom so much longer than 3 years. Dagmar (my SIL) said, it just seems wrong that your oldest is only turning 3 when you have 3 kids, no twins. I couldn't agree more.

The day was all about space ships! Check out this cool cake:
We had a great day! Thanks to all who came and pizzaed and partied with us! You guys rock!


Okay, here are some of our Crafties for the last couple of weeks.

V is for Volcano!
We did some homemade volcanoes and watched videos on the computer. It was really fun!

Book project based on "Leaf Man" by Lois Elhert. This is a really neat book. Very creative and Cooper loved it! The book is a story where the pictures are leaves made into animal shapes. It was so clever! We went out and collected leaves and made a leaf man, a turtle, and a butterfly.

Another really cool book project. We read "Arnie the Doughnut" about this doughnut that is actually alive and doesn't want to be eaten. Kind of cheesy but cute, I guess. Here's the good part--homemade donuts! We made these out of buttermilk biscuits. They were so, so easy and fun. If you want the recipe go here.






Even Ethan loved the donuts! I loved them a little too much and finally ended up throwing them out to get rid of the temptation!

U is for Umbrella! Which is totally appropriate for all of the rain we've been getting.

Now that Luke is finally getting to an age where he recognizes letters, we're going to have to copy some of your tricks. . . .

Don't really know where you find the time to do all this stuff and decorate for Halloween!! Emily - -How do you do it?
