A cow kind of day

Ben loves cows.  They may be his favorite thing in the world.  Since I couldn't think of anything really to do today, we decided to make today Cow Day.
























We did a cow craft where the cow jumped over the moon.  I took pictures of most of the steps but my camera's battery was about dead so instead I used my phone camera.  While my phone camera is pretty good, a lot of the pictures came out blurry.  All I can say really is that this craft took a lot of prep time because it was just cutting out pieces for him to glue together.  I am by no means an artist or even anywhere near it, but you can tell it's a cow.  I spent the whole morning drawing and cutting out the pieces to his cow so he could glue them together.  While I did this, Ben played with his blocks on the floor.

Here's the pictures of the craft I do have:

Gluing the eye on the moon.


















Holding up the finished product.


















The finished picture on the fridge.  I think he did pretty good.  I did help a lot because there were so many pieces but he really did a great job with following instructions.


















After the craft, we read two books.  Both of which were very cute!
The first one is Farm Life by Elizabeth Spurr and illustrated by Steve Bjorkman.
























It was a very educational book about life on a farm.  Ben really enjoyed the whole farm story and learning that cows aren't the only part of a farm.

The second book was Two Cool Cows by Toby Speed and illustrated by Barry Root.
























It was a very cute story about "two cool too cool cows" that jump to the moon after borrowing these kid's boots.  There seems to be a party on the moon with bunches and bunches of cows there.  After the party is over the cows go home and dance and play with the kids after giving the boots back.

When we started reading the books, Ben was laying on the couch with me and his stuffed cow that he got for Christmas.
























By the end of it, he was dancing like the cows and having a good time.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
