Organizing

I seem to always be organizing and reorganizing the home. Apparently some of that has rubbed off onto my kids. They continue to undo my organizing making what I see as messes. When I ask what they are doing they reply, "organizing." I wonder if they see my organizing as a mess! The other day the kids were playing well together. I came out to find that they were 'organizing.' This is what I came down to:
An 'Organized' Mess!
Ponies are together
Other animals hanging out together
Animals and food 'organized'
Usually this organizing happens in the kids room and the 'water animals' like ducks and fish go into #4 Boy's crib. The dogs go under #2 Boy's bed. Other animals are assigned to different parts of the room. I some times wonder if I shouldn't just let my kids organize for me, but really it is such a mess. Is my organizing this messy? Not to me!

Creating Hair Clips and Pajama Pants

I have felt like I need to make things lately. I keep coming up with different ideas. I decided to put my creativity to good use over this past last week. I started by making flower hair clips.

#2 Boy liked to wearing them alsobut was so excited to find out that he could put it on his finger.#3 Girl didn't want just one flower... she has a garden on her head
The flower hair clips were followed by our traditional Fourth of July pajama pants.
This years edition has six pairs of pants and even includes pockets for the adult pants.
My creativeness was topped off by making fabric hair clips to match the pajama bottoms.

I didn't get a picture from the top but it has layers of fabric scrunched in circles getting smaller with a star in the middle.
Now I can wait until Halloween to be creative again. (Actually, I have been enjoying it and might just do somethings between now and then).
