My Girls doing Crafts!

Crafts have always been a favorite at our house!!

In the pics below you will see the girls painting a ceramic planter

and a wooden birdhouse that's fancy!  It was FUN!

 Here they are all working on the planter with permanent makers!

Look at the smile on Hannah's face!  It's funny!

All girls are all smiles!  Makes a Mama happy!

 Look at my Gracie Girl!

She's doing a lovely job!

Hannah Joy is showing me hers and she's so proud.

So am I!  ;-)

So now we are making our fancy two-story bird houses!

Madi Grace is using water paint and Hannah is using pink sparkle paint that the lid has a brush built in.  So it's not so messy :)

She's workin' hard!  ;)

 All 3 girls busy as bees!

 They each turned out so unique and I love them all.

I just got spray gloss so I can cover them and make them shiny while also keeping the paint from fading or messing up!

Thanks for sharing a craft day with us!

Turkies & Chores ;-)

I'm behind on posting and need to catch up.  My blog www.xanga.com/thankfulmommy has been giving me grief so I am transitioning over here!  :)

...OK... so onto the Turkies & Chores....

We have been working on a star reward chart for chores and homeschool done with a happy heart!

So, on this day, they were doing their first day of chores  and in the midst we did a turkey craft.  It was an awesome day!

..on with the pictures!  ;-)

hmm, why is my picture so small?

OK, well... here the girls are starting their turkey craft.

Look at the face Madi Grace is making, lol.

(and you can see Hannah Joy is a ham!)

Hannah Joy is working diligently here :)

(yes she has a diaper on...we're not trained yet)

Oh my angel, Madi Grace!  Love that smile!

 Sarah Faith is figuring it all out..concentrating too much to pose with a smile.  Silly Sarah ;)

 Pause.  This is what Madi Grace had done today.

The entire kitchen all by herself!

Way to go, baby!!!

 And THIS is what Miss Sarah Faith had been doing.

Laundry.  Lots of it.  The washer has a see through lid, it's fun!

Ignore the water splashed on the lid making it hard to see!

Girlfriend, you did so good!!!!

Yes, they both had very happy hearts!  Mommy too!

..back to turkey land..

(they  were having fun!)  Now, they had finished!

Each girls' turkey was a bit different and I love them!

Good job girls!!!!!  (bear hug!)

I absolutely love how she decorated hers with markers when done!

SO CREATIVE  my girl!!!

A perfectly crooked hat and the little red thingy on his tummy!

You know what girl, you did good and you did it YOUR way!

Super Job Angel!  It's hard to see the turkey for the pretty blue eyes!  You did it perfectly as shown.  I love it!

OK, well I have just finished cooking dinner... spaghetti.

My hubby will be home soon and I want to straighten things a bit.

*hugs* to my girls and to all who read here!

Has anyone else done any turkey crafts yet?  Share!  Share!
