I lost my first tooth!

Spin-off

So, I was at Pottery Barn Kids the other day and saw this artwork that I thought was adorable. However, it was $100+ dollars and Hannah's room doesn't have any butterflies in it, so really there was no point in getting it.

So instead I recruited Stephanie for some craft time and came up with this spin-off for less than $15. Worth it? I'll let you decide.

How do you keep your kids occupied

on a LONG, LAZY, Sunday afternoon with no Daddy?

After early church, you come home, eat lunch, take a nap, and watch a movie, but there's still several hours left until you can go to Grandma's house for dinner.

So, you paint . . .



Okay, that was fun, but you're bored again, so you do some experiments from your Fizzy, Foamy Science kit that Santa brought.  "Mom, the elves must be really smart if they can make this science," says Tommy.



You need a break, so you put on some "Princess Music" and dance . . . or wrestle as the case may be.


After you bump your head the dancing is over, so you go back and do another experiment from your science kit.



These activities have taken up the remainder of the time until mom can get some back up at Grandma's house.  Evening arrives and we can pick Daddy up at the airport.  Yea!!!!

Another successful Sunday.

Numbers

Ten fingers, ten toes
Two eyes and a nose


Our two will become three
on six/thirteen

Two anxious parents
One sister, oblivious
and one above
One excited brother
Are going to welcome another


Two little lips, numberless kisses
Two little cheeks to receive lots of squishes
One little belly button on one little tummy
To zerbert and tickle and do everything funny

One boy before
Two forevermore


As parents we'll be outnumbered
What will we do?
With the odds in our home
3 to 2!!
