Autumn glitter...

We made something pretty today and I made my kids happy.  Such a small project, but it brought big smiles and lots of fun to our house. Why don't I do this more often?  It makes me feel like an accomplished mom.

Melanie got to play with the glitter and paper leaves that I cut out while Easton napped. I was too afraid of what Easton might do with the glitter to let him in on that fun. :)  But don't worry, he joined us later to help with other fall decorating.

Simple project + kids creating = cool mom.  Once again...Why don't I do this more often?

After bath time we used the extra leaves to decorate some more and to let Easton get creative.

I can't begin to describe their excitement over the simple task of taping glittery paper leaves to the wall above their table.  And when daddy got home, they could not stop talking about the leaves and the project of hanging them up! Wow--score one for mom! They think I'm so cool. :)

I got the idea for the hanging leaf mobile decoration from this blog: www.kellehampton.com
This is where we hung our leaf mobile. And a good time was had by all!
