Craftastic Tuesday

Wow, this holiday weekend really flew by.   It was super busy and then it was over.  
No fair, I want more!

Well since I can't make the weekend last longer I guess I could show you
 some of the things Jacob and I did for fun. 

We decided to create something.  I have saved a ton of Similac
Formula cans for "someday" when I'd use them for "something".
You know what I mean, you just save everything and hope that someday inspiration 
will smack you in the face and you will create a masterpiece, lol.
Well, it happened.   Of the 3,999,999 formula cans I've saved, 
I've finally used 1.


  We created this cute little supply holder.  
This was super easy and so much fun to share with Jacob.



Supplies:  crayons, glue, empty can, ribbon tape measure.
That's all!

We spent about an hour making this cutie.  
Jacob had to taste test a few of the crayons so we used a few extra of those for munchies.  




And no crafting project is complete without some snacks, right?
So we made some chocolate chip cookies.   
I love cookies when they are warm straight from the oven. 
Ummmmm, warm, melty chocolate.  Can't you just taste them?
Oops, I'm making myself hungry again.

After a day of cookies and crafts we decided a nature hike sounded good.
We took a 4 hour hike and Jacob loved it. I thought he would give
out after an hour or so but he just kept on going.  Me, well
I gave out and was exhausted.  But we had a blast.


Jacob spied this huge tree and couldn't wait to climb on it.
Did I say climb, I meant fall off of it. lol
Then climb up and fall off it again and again.
All boy.


We did stop and smell the roses for awhile.
Isn't this yellow rose beautiful.  I just love roses.
Jacob likes to touch the petals with one fat little finger.
He's so cute when he does that, he's very gentle.
I've taught him that in stores we only touch things with one
finger so we don't break it, so now he touches everything with one finger.


This cute little duck was swimming in the lake making all kinds of noise.
It followed us around the lake for a long time and Jacob
loved it.  He wanted to take it home with us of course.
Thank goodness the lake only went so far, right.


We found this adorable little baby bunny hiding under some old grass.
What a cutie.  We just looked, no touching.  

Then we finally went home and just crashed.
I'm such a wuss in my old age, the kids keep going and I'm
whining about how everything aches.
Oh well, living the dream?


We had a great weekend.  Hope all of you did too.
Thanks for visiting me today and have a wonderful rest of the day.

Till next time
Angel

  1. I never would have thought to use a Similac Can for something that ingenious and cute. And the cookies looked yummy, too. By the way, I would have loved to prolong the weekend one more day, too, but at least it is already Tuesday!! :)
