Cooking In My Special Apron

Yesterday I had to run to Bartlesville and exchange some weights I had purchased a few weeks ago because they were broken. Earlier yesterday morning I was checking out a website that our friend Jeannie was telling me about. (http://www.education.com) It is an awesome website for anyone with kids it had TONS of learning project ideas using simple household stuff. And, since I was already going to be in Bartlesville I thought I'd stop by Hobby Lobby to get some craft supplies.

While we were there I stumbled upon some plain aprons. They were on $1 apiece....so I bought like 5! LOL! I got an adult size one for myself and the rest I got child size ones. I love an awesome bargain like that! I picked up some permanent fabric paint and stencils and after naps yesterday afternoon we decorated Devin's' apron. He had a great time! He was so excited to wear it this morning while he helped me prepare breakfast. (He is always the toaster operator!)

I also found some fabric bags that were for decorating, for $2, so we picked up one of those thinking it can be our 'to go' project bag. We'll get around to decorating it one of these days!

We had a great morning in Bartlesville stopping at Hobby Lobby, Sears, eating lunch at Garfield's, and doing a little shopping at the Gap and JC Penny. We also made a stop at Staple's. While getting out like this with two isn't easy (gotta love the double stroller) and rarely goes without someone having a meltdown (Devin at Garfield's...I thank the waitress for the mound of crackers she brought for me that helped bring it to an end) it's always a great time and I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to do things like that with my boys. <3
