Bracelets!

So I saw these bracelets on Pinterest a couple months ago, and decided my 2 week break from school would be a good time to try it out!

It was a little time consuming. Not hard, just tedious! And it didn't help that I did one step backwards the whole time and had to start over! But I finished it and love them! I know I'm not the craftiest person, but it's a start!

Oh the horror...

We've been watching the girls again this week.

I've surprised myself with how 'on schedule' we have been. We have even arrived at school too early! Now if only I could get to my school early. Or to anything early for that matter.

Sofie has wanted to take pictures together practically every day while we wait in the car for school to start. Look at that pretty little girl- I can't believe I started watching these girls when Sof was 6 months old! She's turned into a real beauty!

Love my little buddy...

After dinner we decided to take more pictures. These pictures aren't quite as beautiful.

They're actually horrific.

We had some good laughs though! Their post-bath hair makes them look even more funny. It sure made putting them to bed much harder because they couldn't stop laughing. They wanted to take more and more. Here is their debut in the fat booth:

Sofie- age 4

Ellie- age 6

Brooklyn- age 8 (doesn't she look like a boy with her wet, matted down hair?)

Oh the horror...

--5 Year Journal--

So in an attempt to be better at keeping a journal and not just a blog (which I'm horrible at as well), I bought this little gem and it came in the mail last week!

I've really enjoyed using it the past week and can't help but peek ahead at what the question for the next day is. Basically it has a question for every day of the year, and it has spaces for 5 years worth of answers. I think it will be cool to see how I grow or change over that time. It's easy to do, because there are only a few lines to answer the questions- very short and succinct! A big barrier for me keeping a regular journal is that I feel overwhelmed with it- I have so much I could share, and want to document things thoroughly so it ends up taking me FOREVER! While I am still using my regular journal, and have become better at it, this makes journal-keeping so fast and easy!

Questions vary from silly to more serious. Examples are:

- Write down a fact that you recently learned. (Okay, some aren't questions)

-Who would you trade places with for just one day?

-What was the last TV show you watched?

-Are you holding a grudge? About?

-What is the last dream you can remember?

-Write down a problem you solved today.

-Write the first sentence of your autobiography.

Anyway, it's pretty neat! You should definitely check it out!
