Craft Day

A lot of today was spent doing crafts with the girls. Yesterday, a co-worker of Jack's, Kristy, stopped by for a delightful visit. She brought these sock puppet craft kits for the girls. They couldn't wait to get started. So, first thing this morning, I got out the kits and we went to town. All 3 socks in each kit got decorated. They think they're great. (Thanks, Kristy!) Here's a picture of one of Gabby's:

Also, as some of you know, Sarah gets 5 shiny pennies every night before bed if she's been a good kid. If she's been really good, she gets a queen (Canadian) penny in place of one of the American pennies. She'd been doing pretty good lately, and I told her that if she made it through a straight week with queen pennies, I'd buy her a Pricness toy. She was on the edge at times, but she did it. So, today we went out for the toy at Target. We wound up getting this set of 2 Princess puzzles that after you put them together, if you stack the pieces in a certain order, they make a 3-D castle. We managed to get the 2 puzzles together. We stopped before we got the castle part done because it was getting late, and we needed to eat. I don't think I've ever had such a "crafty" day with the girls before.
