Mrs. Stingl's Scarecrows

Blast from the past:





This picture is dedicated to my mother who swears I don't keep anything:

And todays craft is........

Therin and his sock bat.

A fairy good day.

Kya was paging though USBorne's 50 Fairy Things to Do and Make yesterday and wanted to make a leaf fairy; so we did. I think she turned out pretty cute!


Then I told Therin I would make his class these pretzels for his special day today and since I had to get more pretzels anyway, I made them for Kya's class too. I'd never made these before but they are certainly fast and easy (the cleanup with sprinkles everywhere is kind of annoying)!


Miss Kya with her big, blue, innocent eyes.

A face in the leaves '09

This is what Kya wore at the dinner table last night. I can't help but to be entertained about 14/7. Notice the police badge on the right side of her shirt-she's worn that since she got it on Friday when Captain Uting visited her school.

Life is always better when shared with a friend.
