Our Funny Family Halloween Costume

Robbers and Bag of Money Family Costume

So I found the idea on pinterest…(where all the good ideas are) and knew I wanted to try it for our little family of three! The money bag costume was based on a wearable blanket pattern but instead of arms I just sewed an elastic hem at the top and added two elastic straps to hold it up. Here are the pics of how our mommy/daddy robbers and little bag of money baby costume turned out. Enjoy!

In hindsight I wish I would have put the $ symbol a little higher but when you have limited time on your hands you have to let things go sometimes...

They are such a cute pair!

I love my little family!

Here's a detailed shot of her little headband made of elastic, fake money folded over and fanned, and real change glued together.

And a few more cute shots :)

Oh that smile!!

Bits of bills sewn on to the back.

31 Prayers For Your Kids

Lance and I have loved prayer time with Aislynn before bed since we brought her home from the hospital. We found a prayer calendar that we loved using because of the variety of things to pray for as we continue to put our little girls life in God's hands. I wanted to design one for myself to match our kitchen bulletin board so here it is.

The character qualities to pray for have verses to reference for context and I love reading them in the morning to pray for Aislynn throughout the day and before naps.

Here's the download link for those that have asked for it.

Sensory play:water in a bag

This play activity is so easy and can be put together in minutes and cleaned up in seconds! Just fill a ziplock bag with water 3/4 full and add 2-3 drops of food color. For the color below we added one drop of green and one drop of blue. 

Then we used Aisy's favorite butterfly stickers and put them on the top of the baggie after taping down all the edges so as to prevent bitting the baggie ;).

Fun and squishy learning!

Rainbow Spaghetti:Sensory fun

This rainbow noodle sensory activity was so much fun for both of us! The color stayed only on the noodles and the olive oil made our skin nice and smooth!

Aislynn had so much fun finding her bath toys!

She ate a few noodles but that was part of the sensory experience.

I liked doing this activity in this plastic bin because it was easier to clean up than in the bath tub. The noodles were easily dumped in the trash and the oily bin cleaned up nicely with dish soap and water.

A few more pics of the cuteness!!

Thanks for the inspiration growingajeweledrose.com we'll be back for more!
