Saturdays

This is the 3rd year Brent has worked a weekend shift.

We are getting pretty efficient in the Bowler house hold at finding things to pass the time on Saturdays!!

Every one else has their own families and fathers home on Saturday so there are few opportunities to have friend days!! And that's ok!! We just have to get creative!!

We always go for a walk and I am in charge of the weekly program in our ward, so we go to the church and play in the nursery while I make copies and fold. 

I usually do my "warehouse" shopping on Saturday. Think Walmart and Costco.

We always watch a movie and have some popcorn. 

 I try to come up with some kind if craft to do.

Several times it has just been a new dollar color book from the dollar store and a new dollar pack of crayons!! And we sit down and color for an hour or so!!

Today we utilized my scrap bag today!! Yarn and googly eyes are a staple around here!!

We made prayer rocks!! 

Scarlet, Me, Ella

 When I was little we had a primary activity day and the leaders helped us make our prayer rocks.

So I may be ripping this idea off from Sister Leavitt!! 

The idea is that it sits on your pillow, and when you lay down to go to sleep at night, you'll bump your head on the rock and be reminded to say your prayers. You take it with you to kneel down on the floor, and then leave it. 

When you awake in the morning, you'll either step on it, or trip on it and it will remind you to say your morning prayers!!

Then it's placed back on your pillow to spend the day!!

I always thought it was a cute idea. 

 Obviously Scarlet had help constructing hers.

However, how she wanted it was very specific!!

She was very sure she wanted braids!!

 Then we made hand puppets.

Ella's is yellow and Scarlet's is pink.

Scarlet got to do all the gluing and it was almost more than she could handle!!

She also made sure I knew she wanted her kitty to have a "puffy tail!!"

Which in our house hold translates to when a cat gets scared and it's tail goes straight up and gets all fluffy.

This is a product of a few Saturdays ago.
