Around here we are getting into the swing of our fall schedule. School is a lot of fun this year for Charlotte! She loves going to her 2 schools and making sweet new friends. I love picking her up and hearing all about her day; she is much more detailed this year than last. On Wednesday after pick-up, she told me her friend Ned called her "sweetie" and she was embarrassed by it ~ Justin and I got the big kick out of that one!
Here is a 1st of school pic re-do:
On the "actual" 1st day, we were running behind and didn't get a great picture, so I was glad to get second chance. Maybe next year, I'll plan ahead and have a little photo shoot prior to the 1st day to prevent those 1st day stresses.
She had "homework" the 1st week of school....
Her class was assigned an "All About Me" project. We (maybe mostly me!) was very excited about it. We went to Micheal's and JoAnn's and loaded up on fun craft supplies.
Our favorite part, was the mini photo album we made to attach to the hand. It was filled with cute pics of Charlotte, family, friends, and of her hobbies.
Another project going on...
We recently have been updating Charlotte's room, wanting to make it more "big girl" and less baby'ish.
I thought that a bulletin board would be a fun addition so she could put pics, art, and all her birthday party invites she's been getting. I found a couple cute examples on Pinterest.com and then picked the one that I thought would be the easiest to make. Once we found the perfect fabric we were ready to begin!
Here's all the supplies that we used.
One tip for anyone who's interested in doing the same thing:
Krylon Spray Adhesive is REALLY REALLY Adhesive!
I underestimated it's strength and thought that once I laid the fabric down on the sprayed board, I would have time to readjust and straighten the fabric... BUT, that was not so! When I tried to pull the fabric back a little to readjust, the cork lining on the board came up with the fabric. YIKES!
Thankfully, my sweet Charlotte loves it anyways, even though it's a little crooked.
Our proud BIG GIRL!
She LOVES finding things to pin on her board! It's like Pinterest for toddlers!
We recently found a cool local establishment that is fun for all ages! Not only do they claim to have over 500 different types of beers, but they also keep rootbeer on tap! And serve it in a frosty mug... YUM YUM!
Never a dull moment at our house!
Yesterday afternoon was filled playing beauty shop.
And we all really enjoy the chalk board door we made in the kitchen!
Here's latest note I found on there...
I will explain by saying that last year, when I remembered to get our favorite gravy and brine from Williams Sonoma for our Christmas feast, they had been sold out of it for months. And poor Justin was extremely sad not to get a good gravy! Since we smoke our turkey, we don't get the drippings you would from roasting one so it's best to find a good pre-made gravy that is just as good. And, even though I don't eat it, I'm told that William Sonoma's is the best!
Here's a pic of my trunk yesterday --
Yes, Justin I did get what you asked for and maybe a little more....
(We have a Halloween party coming up and needed to get start on the shopping!)
