Learning, decorating and tween fashion picks

Day 36

Wow has this week been a busy one! Sewing for the expo (tomorrow YAY), the girls activities and it seems everything in between that can come up to do!

So when we asked G1 to dress up for her sister's jazz concert last week this is what she came up with...I had made it all a while back and well at least she is unique nuff said right? Ah the sense of self that tweens are trying to determine....

Here is what we were studying this week BONES --from my personal collection that has accumulated over the years in a past life when I was studying paleontology in college-the big one is fossilized and the little one is 'normal' neither are human lol



Almost done decorating and the girls determined they wanted their holiday village on the ground this year....no cutesy mantle village for us I let the kids pretty much go to town on the holiday spirit--I try to give suggestions and then remember they are kids and let it go I would rather have memories than perfection


Cool how their minds work eh? I am sure the town will get rearranged around for the next few weeks-we might even see some Little Pet Shop animals, My Little Ponies or even a Barbie make a visit to the village...
