In the past week we have sold our house,purchased a new one and totaled a truck. Busy week!
And now it’s time to start packing because we only have a month!

 | We’re supposed to be done with our crystals today but Megan’s having so much fun with them that I don’t want to finish! That being said,I’m very eager to see how they turned out!
Here’s what we’ve got so far.
We did lose one… Megan went in to check on them last night and there was blue dye all over her bookcase. That plastic cup must have sprung a leak!
Megan’s new American Girl Doll Allison has been raking in the clothes and she now has a bed too! Gone are the days of sleeping on Megan’s felt board with a doll-sized bean bag as a pillow. She’s now got a mattress and two pillows!
I had decided that Allison needed a new place to keep her clothes since they were taking over her toy bins so I got to looking for a basket with a lid. When I failed at finding something like that for an affordable price,I stumbled upon this Rubbermaid soft-sided storage container. I didn’t even know they made anything that wasn’t plastic! It was such a great price that we ordered one. Now Allison has a bed and when we want to put it all away (say,to move in a few months),you can unzip it,put the mattress and doll inside and it’s all self contained!
Pretty brilliant,if I do say so myself. :) Now,I’ll note that the fabric shrunk more than I expected it to so the Strawberry Shortcakes are not facing the right way. I really kicked myself for that but Megan loves it anyway so I’ll not dwell on the mistake too long. :) Allison does have a flannel set as well. It IS winter in Iowa,after all. For Christmas Megan got a crystal growing kit from her aunt and uncle. She was SO excited but we’ve been too busy to grow the crystals. Today while Adam was helping Nick make his tow truck bird feeder,Megan and I made crystals.
After mixing everything up,we set the crystals in Megan’s room to grow. We can’t wait to see how they look in a couple days!
For years and years Nick has had a fascination with mashed potatoes and throwing them at the wall. He talks about it weekly. Today he finally acted on his urges. Halfway through our lunch,Adam and I both saw some potatoes on the wall. Once we contained our laughter I asked Nick if it was as fun as he thought it should be. He said it was a little but it didn’t make a good sound like he thought it should. It will be interesting to see if the obsession is over now. | |||||
