Look at what Andrew did this weekend:
O.k... maybe not. But it would be much more interesting if it happened that way, huh? :)Andrew decided that he wanted to start building an unfinished part of our basement into a new playroom for the girls so we can convert our existing playroom into a guest bedroom since we don't have one. He framed the entire room this weekend without an automatic framing nailer. Boy has skills! I'll have to admit that it is a huge relief that he is finished. The room is located DIRECTLY under Ella's room and the racket got pretty annoying at times since it's difficult to get her to sleep somewhere other than her crib.
During the girls' nap times, I was able to craft a few Christmas party invitations for our neighborhood friends. My MIL (mother-in-law) has a huge supply of Stampin' Up tools so I thought I would take advantage to save some $. They're pretty generic but I think they turned out o.k. for a beginner. It's just a small get-together for about 10 kids so I think they will work just fine. BTW, does anyone have any ideas for such a party? I'm thinking about doing a 'cookie decorating party' and have holiday-shaped sugar cookies ready for the kids to decorate with a spread of frosting and candies. A neighbor is having a relative dress up as Santa and give out gifts so I am so excited! :) Oh, wait.... it's not even Thanksgiving yet! That's what I keep telling myself when I get the itch to do some holiday decorating.
