Slave Driver?

Grandpa sure drives a hard bargain, but we love him.  Milan even got her princess fingers dirty.

Thankful Tree

So in my effort to be a better crafty type mom, I put up this tree the 1st of November. Every day we each were supposed to write down on a leaf something that we were thankful for. I was going to take a picture at the end of the month but I had it half off the wall Saturday before I remembered I was going to document my effort at being a good mom. Luckily, I took this picture at the first of the month.  Here is a list of what was on the leaves.  Can you guess who wrote what?

car, shoes, living room, family, Dojo, I love my friends, Ricky Ricotta, Dojo, Boswell, Boswell is thankful for his astronaut coat, our ward, I voted, playing Uno with Sam, friends, cold medicine, Bethany, karate, solitaire, warm weather, bacon shirt, running, audio books, ability to work, Becky Wheelin, obedient children, my home, friends, mom, library, toilet, food, erasable highlighters, Bethany Ann Widdison, family, tape and erasers, babies, good food, Kari, Democracy, Star Wars Cars, favorite t-shirt, daddy, Bethany, Sam, school lunch, clothes, pajamas, robots, Saturdays, mommy laying by me at night, Sunday family dinners, my parents, my book Ricky Ricotta, Jacuzzi, Summer, war card game, fasting, Beth and Dad, 3 meals a day, the Grinch, priesthood blessings, Magic Tree House books, Lightening Cars, Karter Kolton and Broc, Kurtis, yoga ball, cousins, Billy Bob Joe, Ben Jake and Josh, Bad Dream library book, new babies, sunshine, car, house, food, house and Boswell.

Before and After

 Before

After

Our little Michigan is growing up.  She went in for braces yesterday.  Oh coarse she got sick and worried and spent time in the bathroom at the dentist but she has been a trooper since.  She has given up most of her Halloween candy cause the dentist said not to eat it.  Funny thing Milan was sitting out in the reception room and saw Michigan get pale and sick and turned to Sherry as she started to look pale and grey and said mom my mouth doesn't feel good.  

I guess we have two of them in the family.

My attempt to be festive.

Idea off pinterest.  Didn't exactly nail it, but gave it a good try.
