I know I am late posting these blogs, but better late than never!
Anyway, on January 6th, Avie and I decided to have a little Girl Time! Ashton, Avie's son, was spending the night with his cousins and my boys were going to be Larry. We decided Avie's house would be the perfect place since it would be Kid Free and we could talk, craft, etc.
Avie had great plans to create a set of Family Rules in her home. The rules were going to be laid out very similar to the ones I posted above, which of course was found on the one and only Pinterest!
She had all the supplies ready for us to get started!
We were ready to start...
But we talked and we organized and we talked and we made changes to how the rules would be laid out and we talked some more. Are you getting the picture here? We got NOTHING accomplished in the craft department! NOTHING! We decided together that she could this and that to make it look oh so cute, but of course since we have not crafted in a long while we didn't have anything on hand so we just had to go with the ideas and bascially the finished project looked like this...
Which is exactly what we started with - minus the chair!However, I wouldn't have changed this Friday Night for anything in the world! It was probably one of the best times I have had in a while. It was relaxing, it was fun, we talked about crafts, projects, houses, decorating, moving, and school. I really enjoyed it and I wish we could make this a monthly a thing! What do you think, Avie? Should we try to plan it at least once a month?
We also discussed the boys because what mother doesn't, right? We talked about their favorite Christmas presents and I once again said how next year would be different at our house because Cade is just not a toy kid where Colin is. I don't know if you remember me posting though about our boys doing their Christmas Eve present exchange... Well, the boys got Ashton some Tech Decks and a box of Knex. Ashton was a little disappointed in the Knex because he was really hoping for Legos. With that said, when I went to their house Avie showed me some AMAZING things he made with his Knex and then told me how much he enjoys them now. By the way, Ashton did get Legos from Santa and a huge Lego organizer from for his Grammy Jerry! But just look what he did on his own - no directions, no pictures, nothing!
T-Rex with a moving head
A camera with a flash and everything - this thing is AMAZING!
I was totally impressed and super proud of Ashton! What amazing skills to have and to be so creative! This boy would love some Snap Circuits!!

I'm glad you were able to blog about our 'crafty' night. I had just saved it as a draft, but now I am re-thinking that decision! :) And I would LOVE to have you at my house for a Whatever kind of night once a month. It was SUPER FUN!!!
