Paige's Room

So after 4 nights of Paige cleaning her room, for at least an hour and half…EACH NIGHT.   She came up and said "Mommy my room is clean…come look!"  Now I had to be proud of her….because for Paige ~ this is very tidy!!!  However, I did decide to go in and GUT it!  I added in a dresser and took out a chair….and a few more items ;-))  SHHH!!!  LOL   Here are the before and afters!

AFTER

 Paige's desk was the main inspiration behind the clean out!!  I went to check on Paige doing her homework the other night…she was sitting on her bed doing math homework on her knee…poking her  pencil thru her paper.  When I asked her why she wasn't working on her desk and she replied…"Well it has to much stuff on it" ….YA!!!

Advents 2013

Ok so I might have gone a little overboard....but look how cute the wrapping is!!

Elizabeth, Taeya, Megan & Paige have little gifts and of course our Advent Sleepover to open everyday.  Mom, Nan, Jan, Joy & Tanya have envelopes with cute, funny or inspirational sayings....plus a few little extras that I will post as they open!   I had a lot of fun doing the adult advents this year....you will see as we go!!

My Christmas shopping is almost all done ;-0!

Camelback Mountain

Ted and I try to hike Camelback every time we come down to AZ without the girls...as it is intense!!   The rock stairs are at my knee level and it is a straight uphill grind!!  Crazy!  Here is the view at one of the outlook points...next time I'll take pics from the helicopter pad...which is as far as we go for now - after that it is like climbing a ladder and we are not quite ready for that challenge!!

Last minute Treasures

For our last morning on the Island we got up early to search for last minute treasures to bring home to the Okanagan.  The tide was out, the weather was crisp and we had our new wool toques on that Nanny knit!

Washer Bracelets

This girls and I made these fun bracelets the other night!  We braided colourful embroidery flosses and then intertwined the wording of our choice.   They look super cute and sound so cheerful!!

Sending Love!
