Nativity Bags

Happy Lunch Bag Friday! 

Our last set of Christmas bags for the season.... sigh December is going by too fast. These are so peaceful. I love those soft highlights on their faces and baby Jesus' sweet head. I sat mesmerized looking at them this morning, feeling like I was almost there with them sharing that sacred moment. The girls loved them! Thanks Seth.heart emoticon

I've been enjoying adding past Christmas bags everyday to the Instagram page I created last week. I'll keep doing that- posting on there everyday and then new ones on Fridays. Follow there if you'd like to see them more often. smile emoticon https://www.instagram.com/whizbangbags/

Punny Christmas Carols

Happy Lunch Bag Friday!  I'm completely ignoring the fact that I've been terrible at remembering to post here. To be honest, I'm not sure how much this page is viewed. Just in case, I'm starting it up again.  :)  I love the silly spin Seth took on some classic Christmas carols for our girls' lunch sacks today.   We hope you are having a very merry season!

Lunch Bag Friday: SNOW DAY!

We've been getting a lot of snow lately.  My middle child especially loves to play in the snow.  I've decided she's part polar bear.  Last week she built a "snow devil" on the hill of our front yard and a bunch of tiny snowmen around him scared.  I love Seth's drawing of how happy she is in her pretend world- especially with that halo above her head.  haha

Every night the girls pray that school will be cancelled the next day because of the snow.  Sometimes those prayers are answered the way they want them to be.  :)  A few days ago, when school and work were cancelled, we went on a walk around the neighborhood and ended up having a snowball fight on a frozen pond.  It was so fun.  :)  I'm mostly grateful the ice didn't crack and no one fell in.  I've never had a snowball fight on a frozen pond before.  It was a whimsical morning.  I'm so glad Seth drew it on Kenzie's sack.  Below are a bunch of pictures from the snowball fight.

I like this photo below.  I walked around the pond to see if the waterfall was still running or was frozen over.  If you look really closely you can see a small Makenzie ducking as Seth throws a snowball at her on the pond.  

The kids were pretty tuckered out after battling dad for an hour or so on the pond so Seth pushed all of them in Pip's stroller (at least part of the way home- he was pretty tuckered too after all).  That was as funny to me as the snowball fight.  Not every day is magical or carefree like a snow day, but there are magical and fun moments every day.  I always have my phone with me so I can capture photos of those moments.  I love to write them out and keep track of them.  They make me happy to look at and share- not to give an unrealistic point of view of our lives as if everything is always peachy- but more so that when the other 90% of regular, mundane, busy, or hard parts of life are going on I can look back at happy moments and smile.  I lay in my bed every night and smile at those photos or videos I've taken that day just before falling asleep.  I like to end my day focusing on the good.  :)

Christmas Lunch Bag Catch Up

 I didn't realize how far behind I was in posting Lunch Bag Fridays here.  Sorry.  Here are the Christmas bags.  :)  I hope you had a great holiday!

Christmas Lunch Bag Friday!

Happy Lunch Bag Friday the 13th~

Yay! More Christmas bags.  A few nights ago we watched “Home Alone”. It was the first time for our youngest (that she can remember anyway). The girls were in stitches rolling around the floor and acting the painful parts out- especially Penelope- which made us all laugh even harder. I got out my phone and began recording their giggle fits. So fun. Penelope has been talking about it everyday since… I have a feeling we will be watching that many more times before Christmas is done. 

On the back of the Rudolph bag Seth wrote something like this: “So, eventually Rudolph did go down in history, but more for his role as Supreme Dictator of Canada.” hahahaha LOVE IT!

Hopefully this brought you a chuckle. Feel free to “share” the smile 

Merry Christmas Season! 

Rainbow Dasher and Queen of the Lunchroom

Happy Lunch Bag Friday! 12-6-13

Did you miss us last week?  We hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving... we did! It was wonderful stuffing ourselves and spending so much time together. One more month of overtime and we will get to see this awesome animating/illustrator daddy more.

The girls put in special requests for this week. Makenzie loves My Little Pony (even though she's a teenager- hey it's not strange... there's a whole fun community of Bronies).  She asked him for something My Little Pony-ish and this is what he came up with. LOVE IT! Seth calls this one "Rainbow Dasher" hahaha I guess you'd have to be a Brony to understand the joke behind the name.

Kendyl requested that he draw on her lunch bag showing her as the undisputed Queen of the Lunchroom. SUCCESS!  I love her sitting on all the lunch tables stacked up almost like the Princess and the Pea. She was very excited to bring it to school today. She kept looking at it and proudly smiling as we waited at the bus stop this morning.

I look forward to the rest of the month and the beautiful Christmasy things Seth will draw for them on their lunch sacks. Happy Friday!... Happy December!... Happy Christmas!
