One Lucky Mom

We recently had some family photos taken.

They were taken by Kelly Lindsay Photography.

I'd like to say Lil' Sis and Bro are hard to photograph.

Well mostly Lil' Sis is.

She's my rebellious child who finds it hard to do anything anyone wants her to do including smiling or even looking at a camera when asked. So these pictures are no small accomplishment.

All these pictures were taken in my grandpa's yard in front of his barn. 

They turned out beautifully!

 All three kiddos together. Looking at the camera at the same time. Woohoo!!

This picture is classic Bro. Trying hard to impress with his hands in his pockets. 

Such a little man!

Big Sis! What can I say she's BEAUTIFUL!

Only 14 if you can believe that. 

Can't wait to watch her grow up to the awesome women I knows she will be!

Oh Lil' Sis.

How I love you.

Don't let this sweet face fool you.

This girl will outsmart you at every turn.

I think she has a future as a world class spy.

I have some new projects in the works. 

Watch for new free printables soon!

Sharing some pictures

In an effort to blog more often I thought I'd share some pictures!

This is little sis.

This is how she dresses on a daily basis.

She will only wear skirts and dresses.

She loves knee highs. 

When left to her own devices she will pull her knee highs up over her leggings.

She beats to her own drum! 

This is my entire gang with their great grandpa.

We are a dance family.

This means that we spend the majority of our time at a dance studio.

This was after their annual recital.

We are so thankful to have great grandpa in our lives!

This is my entire gang with my niece and nephew!

This is by far the greatest picture the five of them have ever taken together.

Talk about an almost impossible task.

This picture was actually taken in front of my great grandpa's barn.

there you have it. I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

Teacher Appreciation Gift & a little give-away

Howdy Friends!

It's been a while!

I'd like to blame it on a whole list of things...

 but it's really just me not taking the time to mind my blog like I should.

I thought I'd take a minute to share my teacher appreciation gifts this year.

A little classroom subway type art.

They include all the kiddos names from each class along with the teacher names, year and grade. 

I uploaded them to Wal-Greens photo center and printed them as 8 x 10's. 

Including frames the gifts cost less than $10 each. 

I know it's the end of Teacher Appreciation Week, but the first person to e-mail me 

I will gladly design one of these bad boys for you.

I will post back here in this very spot once someone has emailed me.

Congratulations to Laura!

 She is the winner of the classroom subway art!

Broken Heart Puzzles Revisited

I posted this Broken Heart Puzzle Game two years ago.

So I thought I would go ahead and re-post it in case you are new to the blog and have not had a chance to download it yet. It was one of my most popular downloads. 

My latest download is a Broken Hearts Puzzle Game. 

There are numbers 1 -10. 

Cut out the hearts, then cut them along the dotted line down the middle. 

Your kiddo can count the dots on each half to match the puzzle pieces.

I hate to waste paper, and there are only two puzzle hearts on the second page.

So I added a small heart shaped match game to the second page. 

You get two games for one with this download. 

Print two copies of the second page to have a set for matching.

Let me know if this is useful. 

Do you like that I included the same number of dots on each half of the hearts?

Site Word BINGO - Traceable

Um....I know I started talking about this months ago.

I finally have it finished.

I have included 11 unique pages with this BINGO pack.

Not sure why I stopped at 11. That's an odd number right? 

This is the TRACEABLE version. 

I am working on the non-traceable version and will have it available after the first of the year.

I forgot to make an instructions page.

The first page of this document includes "cards" of all the site words.

These are for you to cut out and pick from a hat, a bucket, or a shoe.  

Or you can print the sheet, leave it in tact, and read them off in any order you see fit.

I'm always a fan of lamination, because you can use them over and over again.

Or if you have unlimited printing resources you can print them over and over again to your hearts desire.

I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday! 

See ya next year!

Site Words BINGO

So I have had multiple posts asking me to make a BINGO game with Site Words.

I am happy to announce I am currently working on this.

My ABC lowercase BINGO has been downloaded over 1,000 times.

Obviously very popular. 

Here's my question.

Would you like to see the site words traceable like the ABC BINGO is or would you just like to see the words listed? As in not traceable. 

Also, would a numbers BINGO game be useful?

I was thinking I would create it with the actual numbers and number words.

All are in the works. 

I will hopefully have it finished by the end of the month.

I would love any input!

Thanks!

Howdy!

Just a quick note to say that it looks like my files are active again.

Honestly I am not sure how they were re-activated, but I am 100% super happy that I am able to share them again.
