School Carnival

The kiddies had their school carnival.  Some of the activites were ones I have never heard of before but they had a great time.

The carnival set up. Looks awesome.

Three tired children.  They flaked out on the couch when we got home.  Which brings us to a lot of R&R over the school holidays.  Yay.  :0

With school holidays here, I need ways to come up with free or cheap activities for my kiddies.  I have set myself a challenge to do this with little or no money since I don't have any.  lol

I am thinking I will do like a mystery  jar with all different things to do,  kids can help with this and hopefully will get there imagination up and running.

Some ideas are:

1) making play dough  - it appears you are never too old for playdough.
2) cooking and baking a must
3) My girls what to learn to use my sewing machine so we can give that a go
4) Op shop treasure hunt.  We have 5 here in busselton so that should be fun.  umm that sounds good,  bikes and budget.  (I might have to look into that one)
5) Bunnings activities are always good,
6) Library
7) everyone trying something new
8) Devotionals
9)
10)

It is going to be awesome.

Tamika is now 12

Wow.  My eldest daughter just had her 12 birthday. I made her a quilt like it did the other two.  It is an awesome quilt and so easy.  I cant believe my baby is 12.

It was lots of fun making and really quite easy.  I found a simple way to do over at My Quilt Infatuation.  Click here to check out the link.  It is awesome.  Thanks My Quilt Infatuation for the tutorial and and inspiration.

So here goes. I am making up a calender for my mum and dad for Christmas.  Here is the October page.  

There is a funny story behind this page.  I had it all laid out ready to go and I called my three children to have a look they loved it.  When I said I am putting NOVEMBER on the top using a pumpkin for the 'O'

Just had a look at some old favorite sites of great inspiration.  This week on Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog   It is a kids theme.  Easy right,  I love challenges like this one it help you to think outside the box.

Nothing Says Kids theme like kids rules.  I made up these household when we moved into a new house.. new house-----new rules.  So here goes.
