A DIY Greenhouse

Bethany's older sister, Emily, gave her a DIY greenhouse kit for Christmas. She started working on it a week or so ago and it is really coming along. This little greenhouse is so cute. She has to make tiny flowers, watering cans, a tiny little pencil, a birdhouse, and all kinds of little things. I'm really impressed at how nice it looks. She has worked really hard on it and says she should be finished tomorrow or Monday. She spent about three hours on it today and seems to really like doing it. Bethany is always ready for a project so this was a good choice for a Christmas gift and it is going to look really nice in her room when she is done - and it has given her hours of entertainment. 

Bethany's Art Journal

The other day I picked up Bethany's art journal and looked through it. The majority of the pictures were of animals though there were a few pictures of houses, the beach and a person or two. A friend of mine suggested that we print a few of them and frame them for her room, and I am thinking of doing that. What child wouldn't love some of their own art on their bedroom wall? So, I took some pictures with my phone and thought I would post a few.

Not sure which ones I will print yet. There were more, but the pictures are so large and I have no idea how to make them smaller -- so I decided to leave some out. I think I like the last picture of the bear and the tiger best. 

I was going to write a little bit about how exhausting two little girls that compete with each other over every single thing can be when there is no children's church for two weeks. But, it would take too much time and energy. Maybe that will be another post -- when I update on how Piper and Tess are doing. Thank goodness Miss Mary will be doing children's church next week! At least I hope so.
