Finding Faith, Hope and Love in All We Do

Going back to work is going well, or at least I think so. The extra income is helping alleviate some of the financial strain in the household. We are all of course trying to adjust to routines and keeping things somewhat calm, well as calm as things can be with 4 kids. We started preparing for the Christmas season, Holley and I worked on a Christmas Garland. We started with a string of 100 white lights and 3 rolls of tulle (25 yds. per roll). It was a lot of knot tying, but it was well worth the effort. Now it has been transformed from garland into our family countdown activity calendar. Inside each number(representing the days), there is an activity for us to do together. Anything from decorating a room, watching a movie, reading a story or to donating to Toys for Tots. It was a lot of fun using scrapbook paper to make the cute little tags with the embellishments. Here are a few pictures of the final project :)
