This blog hop is simple, there are no rules, but I sure would appreciate you following me! (Hostess: Six in the nest)


If you follow my blog, I will be sure to follow your blog back

Meet Me On Monday

 Meet Me On Monday is a blog hop that is simple and fun.  It is a nice way to meet new people and find new blogs to follow.  All you have to do it copy and paste the codes which can be found at Never growing old's blog.  After getting the codes, have fun answering the unique questions that the hostess comes up with weekly.




Questions:

1. Do you like your ice cream in a dish, waffle cone, pretzel cone, sugar cone or cake cone?


2. Do you read the newspaper daily?

3. Marinara or meat sauce?

4. Last time you cried?

5. What word/phrase do you find really annoying?

Answers

1. I prefer to eat my icecream out of a bowl.  Not a big fan of cones.

And of course, cookies and cream is my favorite kind

2.  I read/ skim the paper everyday.  Alot of times though there is not much that interests me in our local newspaper.

3. It depends on what I am eating with the sauce.  If its spaghetti or lasagna, I prefer meat sauce, but if its cheese sticks I want my marinara sauce please.

4. Surprising, I can't recall the last time I actually sat down and cried.  It has been a long time.  I am a very emotional person, and televison shows tend to make me cry at times.



5.  It really drives me nuts when people refer to their child's mother or father as "baby mamma and baby daddy"  Seriously, they have names and can't you respect them enough to call them by their name.  I cannot stand when people call other's out of their name.

Peanut's First Slumber Party

On Thursday, January 13th, Peanut went to her first slumber party.  My sister-in-law kept my daughter and my sister's daughter all night.  She is a brave soul.  The girls had pizza, played dress up and even received manicures.  They all had a blast.

All snug in their sleeping bags, getting ready for bed.  They were out by 830pm.  Now only if I could get Peanut  to go to sleep that early when she is at home.

I live in central Illinois, and over the last two days, we have received about four inches of snow.  I personally am amazed how each and every snowflake is a different shape and size.  Not a single one is the same!!!  To entertain Peanut this evening, since it was too cold to play outside, we decided to make our own unique snowflakes out of construction paper.

Our four snowflakes we made.

First, we folded a piece of construction paper and cut it into a square

Then, we folded the square into a cone shape

Next, we used scissors to cut out different designs into the paper. Peanut is really concentrating hard on what she is doing. I ended up cutting them all out because she wasn't really quite sure what to do.

Peanut is proud of her snowflake

Of course Peanut had to decorate her snowflakes.  She loves to use markers.

We both enjoyed making our snowflakes.  I love doing crafts with Peanut.  She never fails to amaze me at whatever she does.
