The Story Of Us

So.. we had a little Covid scare last week. We found out M who barely leaves the house except to go play cricket once a week in an outdoor field with some friend came into contact with someone who tested positive. Someone who decided to keep it a secret for a week and not tell anyone until another aqcuaintace sussed it out of him.

T-Rex was especially disastrous since he could seem to stand upright.. but the kids didn't seem to care too much. and then we made penny spinners.. except we used quarters.. I have a few more things I'd want to try with them.. not too complicated.. I like the easy crafts.. source  I bought some multicolored yarn  source  the car looks easy.. and cute..  With the holidays coming clo...

I'm feeling a little uninspired this weekend.. I started and restarted this post a few times.. just not feeling it.. so instead of a regular post I thought of doing a post of inspiration this week.. source   source   source I've been thinking about H's upcoming January birthday party.. he is already set on his theme.. but how fun would an art party be? Though this would obviously be more suited as a summer party. source and how cute as these source                           Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin
