Pinterest, Paintings, Parties and Pictures

Brayden has been super wild lately due to the steroids he was put on for his asthma.  Normally he becomes mean but this go round he was just W-I-L-D!  Like running around like a lion wild.  The other night he would.not.be.still. and we got this video of him "breakdancing."
Excuse my SUPER country sounding voice...embarrassing!


Oh and he did tell me the other night when he was explaining what steroids made him feel like, that "the medicine just went all the way up to his eyeballs and wouldn't let him close his eyes!" haha

Saturday morning we were lazy around the house in our pj's until lunch.  After lunch, Karis had a birthday party to go to and so we dropped Karis off at the skating rink and Brayden and I went to Walmart and Target and did some grocery/Christmas shopping.  It was Lucy's naptime so she stayed home with daddy.  We got back to pick her up in time to see her skate for a little while.  They said she won the "most improved" award.  When they first got out on the ice, an instructor gave them a small lesson to teach them how to skate.  Karis was so scared she was crying and the instructor grabbed her hand and helped her for a while.  By the end, she was flying around the ice and was passing everybody up.  She had so much fun she didn't want to leave when we had to.  She is already saying that is what she wants to do next year for her birthday!


Karis and the birthday girl Kathryn

When we got home, we saw what Lucy had been doing while she was home with daddy......

Saturday night we made dinner and then Karis and I wanted to work on some crafts.  I had seen this on Pinterest recently and thought it was so cute and I wanted to try it out.  It is a snow globe gift card holder.  I however just used an old bank card of an account we no longer have to try it out.  It was super easy to make, cheap and cute.  The original site has a cuter picture than mine here.

And Karis painted an earring box that she bought with her own money....


While we were busy at work, somebody else got a little creative herself ha!

Sunday morning we actually got ready a little early so I took the kids out in the yard to snap some pics before church...






After church I took some family pics for our friends the Tillmans.  Paige is my buddy, Brian happens to be our pastor and Mari-Morgan is Karis' best friend.  Oh and Brayden idolizes Nathan...if only they were closer in age.  :)

And then I asked them to take one of us (since we rarely get one of all of us!) and it turned out pretty cute!  Brian took the pic and he may have some hidden talents he hasn't told us about yet ha!

Sunday afternoon I was hoping to get some stuff down around the house but that soooo didn't happen. I opted to take a nap with my Lucy girl instead. :)  Then tonight we had a Chrismas family worship service at church and it was so good.  We sang corporately, the Christmas story was read, we had communion and the coolest part about the service was a recent college grad from our church started the service with a blank canvas and painted throughout the service.  Of course for a while it looked like a blob but by the end was a masterpiece.  She finished just in time at the end of the last song, the lights were turned out except for the spotlight on the painting.  It was so neat!  I wish I could paint!

Wonderful weekend...fun week ahead and then let the Christmas festivities begin!!!
