Okay, I just can’t resist teddy bears. I really love the plush, soft, floppy ones that say ‘hug me’!
Yesterday at Blockbuster, Brooke and I spotted a sweet little movie-star bear with eyelashes, a dress, a beauty mark and sunglasses. I got it for her – it was just too adorable. Brooke hasn’t set her down since!
(Of course Jaycen loves his puppy as much as Brooke loves her new bear!)
Today I hope to start crocheting a teddy bear pattern I bought the other day from Planet June. I ordered some eyes and noses from her store too, and I can’t WAIT for those to come in the mail.
(Here’s a picture from her site of the pattern I purchased…)
It’s amazing how such simple things can make me smile! Yarn, stuffing and bits of plastic can make the CUTEST things.
The kids have been doing lots of art lately. I got them some fun Crayola kits a week or so ago, and they taped a bunch of their Halloween crafts on the door!

…and of course, with my stamp designing I do every day, Brooke loves sitting down and using one of mommy’s older Micron pens to do her own designs. :-)

…but some of the most fun we’ve had so far this week is a re-enactment of the story of Julius Caesar and his ventures against the Britons. I pulled out the kids’ Roman & barbarian Playmobil toys and built the white cliffs and beaches.
Check out this little army of Britons…Rome doesn’t stand a chance!
(Brooke had to throw in the lion and tiger, lol)
That’s it for now…I hope you’re all having a lovely mid-week!
(hugs)
