Juice pouch lunch bag.

My daughter occasionally takes her lunch to school with her and usually just uses a paper sack. I thought I would make her a cool lunch bag to use. So started the process of saving juice pouches and cleaning them. Then I needed a place to save them and before I got around to making it. This is the end result. It was put together kinda like a paper sack and folds up just like one.

This is one of many wood blocks that were left over from a project my husband was working on. I sanded them down and spray painted them a solid color. My oldest daughter then stenciled Merry Christmas and stars on this one.

About me and my kids

I am a stay at home mother of 7 children, yes you read that right 7. I am sometimes called crazy other times a saint. I agree with neither but whatever. My oldest, T, is in college.

I also have an 10th grader, R, who loves to read and already has life figured out or at least what it is she wants to do with her life. Good for her but I hope she eventually learns she needs to be a little flexible.

My 9th grader, W, is typical boy, all video games all the time. He did play football on the 7 grade team but I think to do well he needs to be a little more aggressive. I don't want him beating on all the other players and hurting others but if he doesn't change his style he will be the one at the bottom of the dog pile.

Next is my 4th grader, A. She is all girl with a layer of dirt. She wants to wear the dresses and have her hair and nails done and then go dig in the dirt with the boys.

Then there is Big C the 2nd grader. He is the typical annoying little brother. He gets into everyone's things and destroys or loses everything. He does love to cook  though.

Lastly are the twins, Little C and M. They are in Preschool this year. They can both be the sweetest little things but love to be mischievous together or alone doesn't matter to them. They are both girly girls but love to play in the dirt and be destructive as well. They have their dolls and pretty things but also a drawer full of bugs and dinosaurs.

Those are my 7 little wonders.
