What a year! Our little family has had so much change this year. I’m really looking forward to 2013 where we will have a year full of consistency! So many things about 2012 have surprised me, and when it’s all said and done, I’m thankful for the surprises – thankful for the ups and downs that…

Puffy Snowman Craft
I love using shaving cream and glue to paint. I’ve done a lot of projects with this medium and it’s great because it’s thick and puffy and stays that way when it dries.

Our little fish
Many of you (the “old time” followers (aka my mom)) may remember me talking about how Landon had such a fear of water. We tried everything to get him in – and he finally made it near the end of the summer. We joined the local gym, where they have a heated (bathtub) pool and…

Christmas Tree Math {ordering by length}
This is a great project that I’ve done almost every year in my classroom. It’s a great Christmas craft, but in addition your child can work on ordering objects by length and the math vocabulary and concept of longer and shorter.

Brad’s loving the cooler weather (he still wears shorts to work though, even in the pouring rain), Landon is excited for all…
