Pinterest Fail


I love Pinterest! It's my best friend. And the best place ever for ideas for the girls that I nanny. From projects, to food ideas, to time out solutions. 

Speaking of time out solutions..... When your 3 1/2 and you think you are the ruler of all.... Especially over your younger sister it tends to lead to a fair amount of time outs or breaks to cool off. So insert Pinterest. Glitter time out bottle. 

We had the perfect water bottle. So I grabbed the girls and off to target we went for the supplies.  
Goo Gone to get all the sticky crap off the bottle from the label. 

Next- a bottle of colored glitter glue, a bottle of loose glitter and warm tap water. Fill your bottle about 3/4 full with warm tap water, add glitter glue and glitter and give a good shake! Once it settles and you see how long it takes to settle you can either add more gel glue if it settles to quick or a bit more warm water if it's taking forever.  And super glue the cap shut.... We all know why. 
So finished product! It was taking about 4 minutes to settle which was perfect! I was so excited!! 

And then...... It sat over the weekend..... 
And it all settled into the bottom and stayed there.... 
PINTEREST FAIL

Oh well you win some and you lose some.

Lazy Sunday

Here is to staying in my pjs all day. Laying on the couch watching Netflix. With a hot cup of coffee in hand. And the dogs cuddled up close because they are refusing to go out in this cold weather.

Elf on the Shelf 2013

Post by Rachel
So this is my second year doing elf on the shelf. Sean (my son) named his elf "Criddle" and I have no idea why. So needless to say Erin wants me to post a picture everyday of Criddle.
December 1
Criddle was waiting on the couch with movies for Sean when we got home from Thanksgiving at Grandpa's.
(Will post this one later)

December 2
Criddle was riding Rex on the mantle...
(Will post this on later)

December 3
Criddle ate Daddy's advent calendar chocolate...
December 4
Criddle brought magic seeds!
So we planted them in sugar like it said!

December 5

The seeds grew into candy canes!
December 6
We decorated the house and Criddle climbed into Sean's stocking.
December 7
Criddle has found his way into Dan's boot I brought back from Germany... looks slightly uncomfortable. 
December 8
Criddle found the curtains. 
December 9
Sean brought home this "Memories" plaque from the school holiday sale so Criddle is making use of it. 

December 10
Not sure what he got tied up into today...
December 11
Criddle is not afraid of heights. These skis are mounted in the space above our stairs. 
December 12
Today was a hard day. Sean didn't find Criddle until dinner time when I opened the cupboard. 
December 13
Criddle helped me wrap presents... 
December 14 
Criddle came to Grandma and Grandpa's house! I hope he wasn't trying to peek up the angel's skirt.
December 15
Criddle was riding around in Santa's sleigh like he owned the place. 
December 16
In the last days, I think Criddle will be getting into some trouble...
