Thanks for sharing Sara! I loved reading through all of the descriptions and seeing your sweet kids enjoying life.
…and I agree, it's all about getting to push the buttons in the elevator 🙂
Glad to have you back blogging! I've missed your posts these past months!
Great pictures! What a fabulous collage! Tonight on my "to do's" is to update Oct/Nov Picts too – funny. Must be an organizing bug! Thought of you as I purged closets today – you are my inspiration! So enjoy reading your delights in your precious kids! They really are sweet! ~W.
Such beautiful glimpses into your lives! 🙂 Are these all Instagramed? I want to come play air hockey with you and to see To Kill a Mockingbird! 🙂
Hi! I was wondering where you got the bead thing?? or what it was called, my kids would love it.
hi crystal!
i'm pretty sure i bought the beads at walmart. they come in a tub with a ton of beads and a few little molds. i'm not sure what they are called but the are iron on beads. after they fill the molds you iron them and then they can play with them. i have also seen them at toys r us and also ikea. hope that helps 🙂
