You want pictures, Grandma? Here's your stinkin' pictures!
I forgot to share what I made for Gerard's Halloween treats for his class. I made the little treat bag toppers and wrappers for Hershey miniatures. Aren't they cute?
And then Gerard told me he was bored on the bus. He has tried bringing a book to read or a pad to color/write on, but he was still bored. So I made him a little magnetic tic tac toe board. I used one of those $1 gift certificate tins (I got mine at Michaels). Then I used clear glass pebbles with one flat side (I got mine at Michaels, but I've also seen them at Wal-Mart) and Mod-Podged a small piece of cardstock on the bottom with either an X or an O written on it. Then I put a small magnet on the bottom, made the lines on the tin for the board, and viola, MAGNETIC TIC TAC TOE for the bus. It's been a real hit!
Oh, wait. You wanted pictures of the kids? Oh.... Sorry.... Here are a few.... :)
One day a few weeks ago we were on our way to the bus in the morning and Morgan wanted to bring her backpack, just like Gerard and the other big kids. The Dora backpack used to be Ashley's and Morgan loves it even more because it was from her. I think she's all set for preschool!
Here is Morgan helping me make the little jack-o-lantern bites for our Halloween party. My little baker...
Carving pumpkins...
At Gerard's last cub scout meeting the boys did a little team-building activity before they started. Here they are putting the puzzle together:
Gerard is still loving hockey. He's in the U-8 (under 8) league.... I think they used to call them mini-mites. The other day the zamboni stalled out before his game so all the boys were standing around waiting. When Gerard came out of the locker room about a dozen kids yelled "Gerard!" You would have thought he was Norm from Cheers. It was really cute. Then of course the boys started chanting "Let us in! Let us in! Let us in!" Ah, hockey players...
And finally, here is Morgan wearing the dress Grandma Andrea made her. Doesn't she look cute?
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I'm off to make some lunch and then polyurethane Gerard's desk! Expect after pictures of his new room soon!

First of all, your tic tac toe board is absolutely brilliant. I always knew I had a smart sister!
And the kids, wow. Awesome, as always. I wish I was hald as popular as Gerard! And Morgan looks like such a big girl helping with the baking and getting ready for school.
Can't wait to see everyone in a week!!!!!!!
PS: Very cute dress, grandma. Made even cuter by the girl in it.
Those are really stinkin pictures! I love the ones with the backpacks and of course I LOVE THE DRESS. Too bad you couldn't get a cuter model. Oh, I know why you couldn't. Morgan is the cutest. Thanks for all of the pictures.
