We have a bit of a holiday tradition around here of having advent calendars. I made two of them... one for each kid... a couple of years ago and they're always a huge hit. The boys love counting down to Christmas!
Y'all! I have a HUGE announcement to make regarding Usborne Books & More:
I've got two LEGO obsessed kiddos. Cocoa Puff still prefers to play with Duplo blocks, but he's starting to get the feel of the smaller LEGOS, especially since LEGO released the LEGO juniors kits which are made for kids transitioning from Duplo to LEGO. Since our house is overrun by LEGOs, I made this LEGO table for Froot Loop out of an old piano bench!
Froot Loop loves electricity. Don't laugh. He does. He is obsessed with becoming an electrician. He loves light switches and fans and circuits and wires. His latest big thing is watching HGTV. He recently told me that there's only ONE THING he wants for Christmas...
One of our Thanksgiving traditions we started is to do a "Thankful Tree." It is such a fun project to do as a family and it makes for a striking decoration as well!
There's all sorts of things you can make with handprints! I love handprint art. There's something about preserving the size of those sweet little hands... I look back on Froot Loop and Cocoa Puff's little handprints and I wonder how they ever could have been so small. They're growing up way too fast.
Oh boy. We were watching Network TV the other day (we don't usually because we have a Roku) and a commercial came on. Cocoa Puff got SOOOO excited and yelled, "I HOPE SANTA CLAUS BRINGS THAT FOR ME AT CHRISTMAS!" I was so taken aback that I couldn't help but laugh. It's already started, I guess! I mean, Christmas Eve is already only 2 months away...
We're just rollin' out the Halloween crafts like crazy over here! Cocoa Puff and I made a really sweet ghost craft using only a few supplies I already had around the house. It didn't take very long and it pretty much cost nothing to make. Here is the tutorial straight from Cocoa Puff himself with a little help from Mama.
Cocoa Puff begged me to do a craft with him the other day, so I whipped up this quick, spooky, cute, Halloween craft made from some cotton balls, glue, string, paper, and a marker.
I needed an activity to keep the boys calm while I was recovering from my procedures at the GI, and I had just bought a bunch of paint, so I reached deep into the crevices of my brain and thought of this adorable craft to do with the boys.
