Thirty-Six Aprons

My Aunt Gail emailed this morning to let me know that a box was on its way. Thinking we had a few days we were super surprised when a large, heavy box arrived this afternoon. As I was chatting on the phone with my mom at the time of its arrival, and the girls had just headed out to play, we waited for a bit before opening it. 
We couldn't even begin to guess what was inside (it was HEAVY remember) but we all figured it was most likely doll related! Never in a million years would we have guessed that it was, in fact, thirty-six aprons! 
 January 
My apron matches the girls' aprons exactly. 
 February
 March
 April

This was, as you can imagine, an instant fave!
May
June
 July
 August 

I should have had Dave come in to take one of the three of us, as my apron is the same fabrics but the watermelons are the background with the flamingo fabric accenting it. So sweet! 
 September. 

Again, I should have had Dave come in to take a picture. Mine is very similar to theirs, though instead of a ruffle at the bottom it has the sweet fabric and ribbon on the top. I absolutely adore this apron! The fabric and the ribbon are very much us! 
 October

This one has me as a black cat. I'll be sure we get a picture of the three of us together wearing them next month. With dinner needing to be made before dance I decided to skip having a picture taken of the three of us and move on to the final few aprons in the box! 

 November
 December

These aprons make me think of my Grandma Ruth (my Aunt Gail's mom). I have no doubt she would have loved them all but most especially the Christmas ones.

Isn't the ladybug fabric darling?! 
Grace has said that she would wear that ladybug fabric as a skirt ("it's so cute with it's bow!")

Thank you Aunt Gail for the incredible surprise of these gorgeous aprons! They will absolutely be worn and cherished for years and years to come! xo

A "New To Them" Craft

 
Yesterday my friend Kyla stopped by and dropped a bin of duct tape and a container of Rainbow Loom materials off for the girls. It didn't take long for them to figure out the Rainbow Loom and make a few bracelets! It's always fun to be the recipient of things other children have outgrown! Thank you, Kyla for thinking of us! xo

Made By Emma

Nothing like an empty tissue box, some googily eyes, paper clips, tape and a piece of ribbon to unleash some seriously cute creativity from Emma! xo

An Artful Afternoon

We kicked off the second half of the Girl Scout year with an afternoon of painting yesterday! The girls all did a fabulous job, and it was wonderful to watch as each of their paintings took shape! xo

Leaf Hedgehogs

With all the gorgeous autumn leaves that have fallen (and collected by our nature loving girls) I had been trying to think of a fun craft to do with them. Thanks to a post the girls and I saw on Facebook it was decided that leaf hedgehogs must be made! A quick Google search produced this template and then they were off creating. Such a sweet autumn craft and just the thing we needed to showcase all those lovely leaves! xo

Royal Scepters

A couple of dowels and some sparkly pipe cleaners and just like that our own Queen Elsa and Princess Anna created their very own royal scepters! Well done, girls!  xo

Sunday Creating

Every time I turned around today these two were creating something. From Lego creations this morning, to crowns, to Mr. Big Eyes (isn't he cute?), to signs and an adorable giraffe (made by Grace) and then back to Legos this evening it was a very creative Sunday at our house! xo
