Chloe loves to craft.\u00a0 She loves to paint\/cut paper\/draw\/tape things together\/hang stuff from string\/color\/make cards… you name a craft and she loves it.\u00a0 Her favorite items to receive these days are office supplies.\u00a0 I vividly recall loving getting office items too.\u00a0 Actually, come to think of it, I STILL love getting a nice pen or a fresh pad of paper or even posty notes.\u00a0 So, I guess it’s no surprise that she loves it too.<\/p>\n

These days her other obsession has branched into giving gifts.\u00a0 It really hit after Christmas and all the gift giving we did then.\u00a0 So she’ll go around the house and gather items and wrap them and then give them to us.\u00a0 The funny part is that she’ll pick items that are already ours–so she knows that we’ll be excited about them when we open it.\u00a0 For example she wrapped up Josiah his own toy sword–so when he opened it he was like “YEAH!\u00a0 I love this toy sword!”\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So, after discussing with her that she doesn’t need to just re-gift us our own things and that a homemade craft is just as great, she now has been making us crafts daily.\u00a0 Yesterday she made us all puzzles out of pictures.\u00a0 She also made us invitations to come to her party in her room and hung decorations.\u00a0 The day before that she wrote a card to every family member.\u00a0 And then there was the “big secret craft project” that was a surprise.\u00a0 She worked on it all Saturday afternoon and then revealed it to us.\u00a0 Want to see it?\u00a0 Of course you do!<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what it is.. but it’s large and has lot of glitter glue and drawing and tape on it.\u00a0 And she was very excited to give it to us.\u00a0 So we posed for a picture to remember it.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
