Rebekah: The Crafty Cornelius

-
Bekah has been busy practicing and developing her many talents lately.  She loves all things creative and can't get enough of arts and crafts.  Here are just a few of her recent accomplishments.
 
Bekah is modeling her latest sewing project.  She made these cute jungle PJs by herself.  She said her favorite part is the cute little bow on the front.  She was so excited to get these done that she wore them for 2 days straight.  Good thing we finished them on a holiday weekend.  ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Bekah found a how-to book of crafts in our home library.  She has eagerly done 2-3 projects from the book every day.  She reads the instructions, gathers the materials, and makes her masterpieces all by herself.  She is very creative and has a ingenious mind for solving problems. 

 
This is Maeve sporting her Earth Day crown that Rebekah made just for her.  Bekah made a matching one for her to wear too.  The boys were totally jelous they didn't get a cool crown.  Sorry boys, maybe next time.

Rebekah has also been experimenting with writing.  She has tried her had at many genres.

 (The Gingerbread Class!  Dedicated to Mrs Junco.)



 (First they saw Joe and Jr. (the class guinea pigs).  They said, "You'll make a great snack!  So the gingerbread class said, "You can't catch us.  We're too fast!"  So they ran out and off they went.)

 (And next they ran into the library.  The librarian said, "Me want a cookie!" and she ran, but they ran away.)

 (Next, they found a school! And they lived happily ever after!)

 (The End.  Merry Christmas)

Loved this post! Bekah's books are fantastic (the self-help was my favorite) and I am really impressed that she is a sewing first grader! That's awesome.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
