My brother and I and our two cousins would get in the pool and play a game of "prune". Whoever got shriveled first would be the "prune" and try and chase the rest of us around inside the pool and whoever got tagged was the next "prune" and we'd play again. Yes weird but lots of fun! <br /><br />Adorable squirrel hat and acorn by the way! You're so clever and crafty! I know two kiddos very similar to yours who would love them! Fun times!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082526487287413126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-27838345053754671902012-02-20T15:40:29.621-06:002012-02-20T15:40:29.621-06:00When I was little I was OBSESSED with horses.

We have a woodland theme going on over here, and the hubby loves being out in the mountains, so playing squirrels will be a fun game I'm sure, since it's about the only wildlife we run into usually :) <br /><br />Thanks!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834232555317651578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-82093844516088477862012-02-19T14:38:46.865-06:002012-02-19T14:38:46.865-06:00p.s. the ears and the acorn are super cute and I w...p.s. the ears and the acorn are super cute and I would love a tutorial!Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134354120227301134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-69797386220851836732012-02-19T14:38:21.234-06:002012-02-19T14:38:21.234-06:00I need that book, too.

Difficult to motivate. But 15 minutes is doable, even in super cold.<br /><br />We used to play tornado all the time. We'd go set our sleeping bags and flashlights up in the basement and eat snacks. One time we were playing tornado when the sirens went off and had to actually hide in the basement.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134354120227301134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-80278915415990705452012-02-19T14:03:20.935-06:002012-02-19T14:03:20.935-06:00All right, all right, I'll go outside tomorrow...All right, all right, I'll go outside tomorrow and go for a walk.

Brig gets so excited watching the squirrels run across the telephone wires out in the alley, and he loves hats. So a squirrel hat would be awesome.<br /><br />I spent most of my time outside as a kid. I can't really remember playing inside much at all. We had 10+ acres to play in when we were little and we had all sorts of huts, tree houses and barns to play in. We would pretend we were on secret missions and had rigged the barn with homemade can telephones so we could speak to each other from stall to stall. We would pretend all the trucks, tractors and other equipment were there for our secret missions and would travel through time and to different places. Oh how I miss those days.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371528631603411313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-1908003094548866372012-02-17T23:35:12.039-06:002012-02-17T23:35:12.039-06:00Your creativity always amazes me!

I would love a tutorial!<br /><br />I love the first picture of Noah in the collage. Such an adorable little squirrel!<br /><br />As kids, my cousin and I always "designed" new toys. :) We had a whole line of Barbie type dolls created, and we just knew once a "toy maker" made the dolls that they would send us one of each! ;)Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349378458235268702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-3528337739299039742012-02-17T21:34:17.398-06:002012-02-17T21:34:17.398-06:00Okay, you are super.

I love to be outdoors, but alas I live in Wisconsin, and although it is not as cold this winter as it could be, I still whine and complain about it, even if I try to keep the whining to myself...So thanks for the encouragement. I just need some rainboots, etc like you mentioned. <br />And yes, a tutorial would be fun if you have a chance. Those animal ears and the acorn hat are great, and I know my boys would love them. =)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676665707442397808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-2940199319700437612012-02-17T21:05:18.338-06:002012-02-17T21:05:18.338-06:00How adorable!
