Kids Closet...Good Idea?

I make the kids a closet with activities. These are learning activities that I have to help with. Here are a few of them... play dough painting cutting and coloring coloring and preschool books activity books flash cards learning games alphabet blocks Sounds great, right? I am not so sure... For the last week I have been sitting with the kids doing these activities NON STOP!! I am tired and I wish they would play with their toys. Ugh. It would be nice to do one or two activities a day but one every half hour!!?? They seem to cry over these activities more then they did before them. Oh well...

Box of Love - FHE

I got this idea from The Friend. I am excited to do it with the kids. I think we will make one box and hang it up. Throughout the next week we will do little activities (make treats, cards, or secret services) and put them in the box. We will check the box at night and see if there is inything in it. That way we will be able to include Daddy. We'll see how it goes!! Box of Love Each week in February, hang this box of love on a different family member’s door. Throughout the week, put things in the box that tell or show your love for that person. You can leave a note, a drawing, or a small treat. If you like, invite other family members to add to the box and share the love! 1. Cut off the top flaps of a small cardboard box, such as a small cereal box. 2. Cut out a piece of colorful paper or wrapping paper the same height as the box. Wrap the paper around the box and secure with tape or glue. 3. Punch a hole near the top of the two short sides. 4. Tie a ribbon or string through the two holes to make a handle to hang the box on a doorknob.

The latest...

Before Christmas I decided that I wanted to learn how to knit. Well...I decided that it looks too hard to I decided to crochet instead. So I started and I love it. I used to crochet a lot but I kinds forgot how to do it. I have been watching how to do it on youtube and have made a few things. This is what I'm working on now...

Cute huh? (No I havn't found out the sex of the baby!) I have also made 4 different baby hats and am really having fun learning. Thank you YouTube!!
