Sensory Bottles

God bless Pinterest! I LOVE that site! We made these sensory bottles at school with my students and I got to thinking my kids would really like it. I had so much fun making them with Andrew (Claire was doing her own thing and didnt want to help). They are a fun little toy to have around, I wish I would've made them when they were younger.

~ STIR CRAZY! ~

We've been STUCK in the house since Wed night due to Andrews really bad cold! I was getting really anxious and was desperately searching for fun things to do. We didn't do anything too exciting just changed up our same 'ol routine and played a little harder & louder to get some energy out. I of course got my camera out. He still has an awful cough, but we're back to the routine tomorrow.

Poor guy - taking a nap while he can before a coughing fit hits!

He He was sad Claire wasn't staying home with him His new gun we got at the little craft show up town

Little devil - she was trying to knock over Andrews tower

Madison came over to play & we watched Princess & The Frog

They were re-enacting the end when they kiss and turn into the Prince & Princess -

Unfortunately I missed when they kissed. Madison laid a big one on Andrew!

They were just too sweet this morning - and Claire's hair was hysterical!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!!

Hair Cut!

Grandma V came over to babysit. I asked her for a quick haircut for Andrew that turned into 2 rounds! He was not happy the first attempt so we had to take a lunch break.

Round 1 - NOT HAPPY

Round 2 -

we had to call in the reinforcements.

It went much smoother once he had some lunch.

SO HANDSOME!

Thanks Grandma!!!

Hmmmm, hopefully I can talk her into doing Claires 1st haircut

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

We had a great weekend with family! We were able to see everyone and enjoy time together as a family. The weather was amazing even with the storms on Saturday. It was a great way to end our summer and we are looking forward to all the fun festivities in fall ahead of us!
