Project Life 2014

Trying again this year at Project Life!  I hope to do better this year.

January 1: R excited to do some crafting/colouring.

January 2: I forgot to take a picture when the kids were up...and C's picture sleeping turned out better than J's.

January 3: Let's do Perler Beads before we get dressed!  Lazy days when home from school.

January 4: Daddy's helper making shelves in the basement.

January 5: Watching a new Barbie movie we rented makes for a really happy girl (and she picked out her own clothes).

On to a new project

Project Life just didn't turn out for me this year....my husband and I went away on a retreat and therefore didn't take any pictures for the weekend and I just didn't find our 'life' varied enough for new pictures...it's also hard when I'm working full time and my morning hours are spent getting ready and evening hours are spent with other things.

Anyways maybe I will try again later.....

My new project is something I decided to try after reading "Cleaning House: A mom's 12 month experiment to rid her home of youth entitlement"

A lot of the items in the book most of my kids are too young but I figured I could start with other things that at this age are habits they need to learn to start.  Like me not having to nag them to brush their teeth!  I also altered it to be based on weeks and then the money will be deposited into their virtual ThreeJars bank.

So Week 1 - we are going to work on Brushing Teeth!  I have told them if they don't brush their teeth $1 will be removed from their jar.

My other items to work on will be:
Keeping bedroom tidy
Practicing Piano
Setting/Clearing the table
Loading the dishwasher
I will definitely think of more but that's my start

Day 45

My attempt at heart hair for Valentines Day.

Day 43

Due to the snow day J's class is celebrating the 100th day of school today.  Here is what J may look like when he's 100.  Complete with white hair and bald on top.  I don't know if his teacher will be able to keep a straight face. (The picture doesn't seem to show the baldness well).  I offered to give him wrinkles with make up but he didn't want me to.

Day 39

C has really been enjoying oragami and looking up youtubes on how to make it.  Here she put the little doll she got at a birthday party tonight into the oragami dress. ETA C took the picture of the day too.
