Halloween Teacher Gifts

 I made my kids' teachers' each a mini Owl with the school colors.  
 Each kid picked out a Halloween coloring page online and personalized it for their teacher.
We added some candy and put it all in a zip lock so it all stays clean and together.

Pumpkin Extravaganza~School Project

 The girls had to choose a book and a character from that book and decorate a pumpkin like that character.  They chose their book and character but argued about how to decorate the pumpkin.  I decided there was only one solution.  We painted it with chalkboard paint and they drew their version of the bunny character with a chalk marker.  That is why there are 2 bunnies.  I tied a fabric scrap to the stem to give it a bit more character...different kind of character!  :)

Boo Boo Bag

 I know you are enjoying my goofballs pretending to be hurt with the boo boo bag!  LOL!  Very realistic indeed!  
 And you know kids always hurt their eyeballs and need a boo boo bag on top!  Silly girl!
On a serious note, my kids use these all the time because they have their Mommy's lack of coordination.  We have 4 of these in different sizes.  Just scrap fabric filled with long grain rice mixed with orange oil drops.  They get hurt, get a boo boo bag, sniff it for awhile and distract themselves from their boo boo.  They are also great for fevers!  Just keep in the freezer.
Make longer ones and sew sections so it will lay on their forehead.  I also made my kids each a long one sectioned off in three sections to microwave and drape over their anckes/feet when they have growing pains.  I'll have to take a pic of them and post them.

Chore Can

When my kiddos are arguing with each other, being little toots, or are totally bored they reach into the chore can and grab a chore.  They like that it's a surprise each time so they don't argue with me!  It's a popsicle stick that's the boss.  Sometimes they enjoy them and sometimes they do not.  Either way, I get some of my chores done around the house!!  It's a win win for me!
I used a can I had chalkboard painted awhile back and tied a fabric scrap for decoration.  I can change out the fabric scrap to keep it seasonal or fun!
Liking the sideways pic aren't you?!  Hehe!
