Halloween Crafts with My Girls

This week my girls and I did some fun Halloween crafts. We went to the Dollar Tree to find some stuff we can use for this project. We found some really cool stuff, check it out. Some construction paper, googly eyes, and pom poms. 

First, I precut what was needed for Jade's pumpkin, she's not too good with scissors yet. Then I let her put the pumpkins face on how ever she wanted. Looks scary if you ask me! But I love it because Jade made it.

While Jade was finishing up her pumpkin, Annabelle was coloring her witch and ghost. Not only did she color on the paper, but on her legs, and her arms, and her face.. I guess that's what happens when I look away huh?? We added some googly eyes on her ghost and witch to make them look spooky.

Finally we made spiders, using the outline of their hand and finger as the spider's legs. They enjoyed placing all the spider's eyes everywhere. The top picture is Jades and the bottom is Annabelle's, small little fingers. 

I love doing crafts with my girls. I love watching them express themselves through art. If you love it as much as I do, take a trip to your local Dollar Tree, you never know what fun crafts you might find. Enjoy crafting!

I'm Back

I apologize for being away the last few weeks, but it was due to major yet exciting changes in our lives. For starters, my husband was offered a position in a different company and he took it! He is such a hardworking man, and I know he will accomplish great things. The company has him working in San Jose, which is a bit of a drive down there from us, but at least they provided a company vehicle for him to use. He’s been there two weeks and already loves it. He works Monday-Friday with weekends off, just perfect isn’t it?? More family time, more fun with our girls.

I’ve also started my own business. Who would have thought, me, a business women?? Everything starts small, so this is me starting small, hopefully one day get big. As you may already know, I love to crochet, thanks to a friend of mine, so why not sell my work? Why not make money doing something I enjoy. My business is called “Moma B Crochet,” catchy isn’t it? Crocheting started off as a hobby, making things for my girls but now making things for others too. Check out my facebook page HERE, thanks.

Another new thing that happened to me, I’ve started blogging for another site. I give moms advice and share my personal experiences. I absolutely love it. Knowing I can make a difference, even if it’s through a computer screen, makes me happy. I look forward to keep my readers updated on a weekly basis, thanks for reading!

Daddy's Point of View

So my Labor Day weekend went fantastic I told my girls that I had 3 days off and they had this flamboyant look on their face. On Sunday we didn’t do much. We relaxed at home most of the day, watched movies and played a few games. I really never knew how energetic Jade was until we were playing gorilla mode (I’m playing the gorilla) for about 2 hours straight. We had our lunch and continued playing. On Monday we all woke up pretty early. Once we got up we brushed our teeth got ready and went to the park. As soon as we got to the park Annabelle ran directly to the swings, the last time I check Annabelle was afraid of the swing. She was yelling DA DA DA and started pointing at the swings. I was excited myself because she was excited and ready for the swings. Jade was riding the swings too, she was telling me “daddy I can swing by myself, I’m a big girl now”. When we got done playing with the swings we all ran around the jungle gym. I was acting like a gorilla and chasing them like I was a maniac. I told Jade and Annabelle that the gorilla is going to hang upside down from the monkey bars, so I showed them. They were laughing pointing at me and showing a lot of excitement, at that point I knew they have missed me a lot. On Tuesday as soon as the kiddos woke up they were already asking for breakfast. They ate some cereal and also some sopita (Mexican tomato soup). From there we relaxed for a little bit, I promised Jade and Annabelle that I would take them swimming today. So they were bugging me about it all morning. Jade has a great memory, anything you promise her she will remember until that promise has been taking care of. We ended up going swimming for about an hour. Jade was doing the same as usual (acting crazy) by diving under water, jumping into the pool, and holding her breath under water. Annabelle loves to swim, she likes to be independent and tries to do things on her own. I was helping Annabelle to try and swim on her own, but she wanted me to let her go. She loves to stick her head under water and paddle her feet. After we got done swimming we went back home and relaxed. Now that I have to go back to work tomorrow it’s going to suck because I’ve missed my kiddos so much. I have to give it up to my beautiful wife for raising such wonderful and energetic kids. A big thumbs up mommy, I really didn’t believe playing with my kids were going to get me tired but man I was exhausted this weekend. I love you Annabelle and Jade. I really appreciate the work my wonderful wife has done and continues to do.
