Watercolor Wednesday

Today was Watercolor Wednesday. Since we were super busy today, we had to do it this evening. I painted this time too. I don't think I've used watercolors in years. Ben loves Wednesdays and Fridays because he loves to paint so much.

Not long after that picture was taken, we had a little oopsie where Ben accidentally knocked over the cup of water. No biggie, it was just water, but what happens to a water color painting when water is poured on it? It becomes a wet, plain sheet of paper. The paint disappears. Ben had to start over. I felt so bad for him, but he didn't seem to mind. He was just worried he was going to be in trouble or have to stop painting. I let him start over as soon as the water was cleaned up.

This was the finished product:

And here's both of our paintings:

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...
