Christmas Printables and an EGGmazing tip!

So, our house is in Christmas overdrive! I still need to finish decorating the house...and if you must know it is in Autumn/Winter limbo. I have worship team practice tonight at our home and I know they are all going to think, "what is going on?!" It's like Autumn and Christmas had a bunch of kids and some look like Dad and some look like Mom. So, I guess John is Autumn and I am Winter...our kids are all so different! Anyway...that was random and weird! Sorry, I do that sometimes! I am so glad I have friends and family who love me! As I am preparing to finish decorating this weekend I was perusing Pinterest and found an AWESOME link to 35 free Christmas printables from Sassy Sites. They are all so cute, I had a hard time choosing which ones to print. Here are 3 that I chose for our home:

Christmas Tree Scripture from Betty Crocker Wannabe...this one is so adorable:

Ok, and I know this is totally random and has nothing to do with Christmas, but I found the perfect way to boil and peel eggs! I have been eating a lot of these lately because I went back to my Paleo diet since the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. So, I was trying to find out the best way to cook them and came across this info from Mom on a Mission. You have to try this! So, so easy and they peeled perfectly! I did not even do the ice bath, just soaked them in cold water.  It is EGGmazing! ;)

Catching Up...

Remember my last post and all that I mentioned I had to get done? Well, I did get it done...but it wore me out! So, I took a bit of a break, but, I am back now!!  So, today to catch up here are a few cute things the Boybarians did or said during the month of October:

Paxton: He grew! :) And Laughed! And melted my heart more and more! He is true joy.

Reichen: He says and does the cutest things! One day at lunch he had smeared his PB&J all over his sweet face. Hubby asked him what was on his face?! He replied "Makeup!". :) So cute! I guess he watches me more than I thought. ;)

Knox: Knox amazes me at his brightness. Trust me I can say that he totally gets that from his Daddy! He is so smart and so quick to learn new things. He still loves to be on Daddy's "Soldiers" though! :)

Asher: He is my little artist! He made this art book on Enrichment days and it is amazing! He is so talented...again he gets that from Daddy! He was telling us all about the different artists he emulated including Picostco. Lol! I guess you know where we shop...a lot! :) Love him!

Owen: When we drive to my parents we come out of the mountains and come upon the desert. Owen shouted "Look boys! We are in the Goopey Desert!" Love it! Can't believe how tall and big and crazy that boy is.


We also enjoyed our first field trip to the Pumpkin Patch and our Annual GBC Hoe-Down!

 

More posts to come! Until then remember to....

Count your Blessings...and your Boybarians!
