Are you ready for perhaps the most random post we’ve ever shared? I hope so, because this is coming straight from what’s in my head at the moment. I have about 6 projects and tutorials to share with you (all written and everything!), but since Sandy made a mess of my Proctor & Gamble timeline, I have to wait to share them with you until they give me the green light! Hopefully Soon!
Random Thought #1 Get out there and VOTE today! A teacher at my school shared this video with me and I love that my 4 kiddos have watched it like 15 time today and are walking around singing, “Vote for Obama or Vote for Romney- it’s your civic duty. Vote for Somebody!” We’re pretty dang blessed here in the US and fortunate to be able to make our voices heard today.
Random Thought #2 Thanks for all the input on our Facebook Page about what shoes I should buy. Seriously, I think I had 45 comments in no time at all. (If you’re not following on FB you’re missing out- Like our page HERE) Here’s what I decided on…
Random Thought #3 I’m loving up the giveaway we having going on right now and can’t decide which prints to buy. I’m going to give a bunch of them as Christmas gifts! If you didn’t enter the Giveaway, click HERE to do so. I’m going to get my daughter’s teacher this print…
Random Thought # 4 So, you know my dining room… Well, it feels completely unfinished to me. Why, you ask? Because it is unfinished. I’m good at the big ideas in a room, but not so good at the finishing details. I tend to move onto another project/room before finishing completely. Here’s what I’m thinking…
Random Thought #5 So Eric and I leave for Europe in 13 days (but who’s counting!!) and we want our kids to have something special each of the 8 days that we’re gone. We’re going away over thanksgiving, so I kind of want a, “I’m thankful for you” kind of theme going on. We went out this weekend and got each kiddo something really small for each day- It seemed a little daunting at first… 4kids x 8days = 32 little items! However, Michael’s and Target dollar bins hooked me up! Some of the Target dollar bins were 70% off- I got tons of stuff for 30 cents each- SCORE! Anyhow, I’m telling you all this because I need a way to organize it all for each kid. Should I have a little box with wrapped presents and notes, should I have a bag for each day… I’m kind of stumped and figure you creative people will have some great ideas for me! So do tell…
Ooh, I would like the names or links of those sneakers!
haha! You just made my day- you and your sneakers– good gosh I heart ya girl!!!!! Nice CHOICE!!
I believe I would choose sneaker #2! Just saying…
What about wrapping all eight presents in layers (which will look like a giant ball of wrapping paper?)and having the kids unwrap one layer on their package each day? I can’t think of what people call this, but I’ve seen it played at birthday parties where each kid in a circle gets to unwrap a layer and find a little present. It would still be fun, but less work than organizing a series of 8 bags per kid.
I’m a simple is best kinda girl. Wrap each giftand lable which kiddo it’s for. Put 1 day’s gift for each kid. That way you have a Monday bag, Tuesday Bag etc.
Such a fun cute idea!
