January 2012
I did some crafting I sewed the 3 tier bed skirt.
While I am showing off the shirt let me tell you about the bed, Brian and I made the head board with salvaged wood, and salvaged foam. The fabric I bought when I worked in a fabric store in High School. I also sewed the gold pillows with the fabric. Brian made the bed stand (the head board used to have 2 reading lamps but he took them off). The bed spread was my parents a few years ago and the gold blanket is form Charmaine. The whole bed set and bed probably cost under $150.00. BTW there is another matching pillow not pictured.
Here is Gordon and I one Sunday morning, Katie took our pictures.
Susan gave Gordon a makeover with some "boy makeup"
In January the kids had winter break so we went to the park a few times. Kingman may be small and not have antiquate shopping but they do have great parks, I can count 5 new nice parks with grass and bathrooms! We went to a garage sale on the way to the park
and got a 7 bottles of bubbles for .25!
Gordon and Katie had a good time with them.
In January Brian introduced the kids to "lantern walks" Brian gets out one of his kerosene lanterns and each kid gets a flashlight and we go for a walk in the dark around the block. Or sometimes they go for a walk and I enjoy a quiet moment alone! We have also found the golf course across the street a fun place to go for a walk at night!
Early in the month we took the kids to Lake Havisu to see the London Bridge and have lunch. While we were there we found another great park and fed some seagulls and ducks at the lake.
During winter break Katie and Susan sewed some pajama pants.
