Do you ever ground yourself? You say something like, I can't do anything I actually really want to do until all of the stuff I need to do is done. Well, today I was SO grounded and I'm pretty sure if I was a teenager and paid the same mind to my mom as I'm doing to myself right now, I'd be in double-dutch.
But it's the holidays! So who cares! And so I shall spend my potentially productive moments making a "I 'heart/leaf' fall" sign until my hearts content and no one can stop me!* If you feel like you need a zest of fall spirit to your office or home bullitin board, download here.
I may not be getting much done around the house, but we did find time yesterday to halloween-ify our house a bit more with some owls. I'm pretty sure these are as simple as owls get. Penelope even enjoyed making her own until her stinker streak sat in and she emptied the container of crayons on the floor right before choosing to stay out of dodge for awhile.
Ryder was clever enough to make his owl a neck tie. In the back there was Penny trying to figure out whether or not she should put herself into time out after the crayon incident.
Instead she just kept poking this face around the corner.
* This one I actually got the idea on wonderful Pinterest. I purposely didn't go back looking for it because I didn't want it to be the exact same. I was going for simplistic and modern, which is fitting for my skill level. It was also my first time working with the gradient tool, which was very fun.
Oh my goodness! I have almost the exact same set-up with the magnet board and chalkboard and curtain wire (thanks, IKEA) except the curtain wire is below the chalkboard and magnet board and everything is too high for my kids to reach.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the owls.
Oh, and Penny and Dylan look a lot alike to me.
