So Blessed: getting creative and small blessings

I wish that I was one of those moms who always had their kids doing fun creative projects. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. I admit we watch way, way too much TV. But Tuesday I thought I'd let the kids sit down at the table and paint . As you can see it eventually led to this.......

But otherwise, they enjoyed it and liked hanging their masterpieces up on the wall of fame!

I even got creative that afternoon by making this:

and this:

I have a friend at church who is also having a little girl, who's name starts with an "A", and is due 6 days behind us! So I made her a quilt and a appliqued onesie. I wasn't sure how to go about making the quilt, but surprisingly it turn out really good! This onesie I kept for Anleigh( the ribbon wasn't quite straight) but made another for the other baby "A".
Now about that small blessing. For about a year now I have wanted a 4 slice toaster. 3 Kids get pretty impatient for waffles with a 2 slice toaster! It's something that I didn't want to spend $35 - $40 for, and definitely didn't want to put it on my Cmas list. So today while shopping at the rescue mission, God looked down and smiled on me...........
