“Mom, my baby’s awake!”

I think everyone worries about siblings getting jealous when a new baby comes home, but in our family, the only thing I have had to worry about with this baby is that he is getting too much LOVE!  Almost every morning I wake up to the sound of my 4-year-old yelling “Mom, my baby’s awake!”  (yes, he is only awake because someone decided it was time to play.) Normally he just goes in and flips on the light and peeks over the side of the crib, but this day he decided to climb right in and was busy rubbing baby’s cheeks and honking his nose when I found him.   He also loves to put his face right next to the baby and say, “Look, we’re twins!”  It’s a good thing he’s cute!!

Have a Fun Friday and a wonderful weekend!!

 

How Does a 4-Year-Old Pack for Vacation?

He gets out his Angry Birds Backpack , and fills it full of stuffed Angry Birds.

What more could you possibly need for staying a month at grandma’s?  At least last vacation we went on he packed one outfit.  I guess he decided that clothes are overrated this time.  (And yes, I packed him a separate bag of clothes but the Angry Birds had to come to grandma’s too.)

 

Fun Friday! I’m being watched

I haven’t posted a Fun Friday activity in a couple of weeks.  I love to find activities to make our Friday’s more fun and that can get the kid’s imaginations going.  Today I gave them some self-adhesive googly eyes and then sat back and watched as they made regular objects from our house come to life.

Here are some of our favorites:

Fun Friday: Mirror Messages


Happy Fun Friday!!  This is our first Fun Friday since school got out and this little activity didn’t let my boys down.  Using a dry bar of soft soap (I used Ivory) write messages and draw pictures on a bathroom or any other mirror.  We made a little “photobooth” with “Say Cheese” written at the top and then a hat with mustache and a clown hat with a big nose for the boys to put their reflection in.  It was a bit hard to photograph (at least without me being in the mirror reflection) but lots and lots of fun.  Then when you are done with one picture, just wipe off the mirror with a damp cloth and start a new one.  Hours and hours of cheap entertainment!  Just the way I like it!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Activity adapted from Family Fun Magazine.  My favorite!
