Crafty Christmas Wise Men Writing Prompt

By

So I created and am sharing my first downloadable pdf file. Whoohoo I am learning more every day. Don't laugh because seriously I am learning all of this by googling for help so it takes a while. 

First the boys and I read the book The Three Wise Guys by Mike Thaler which is a hilarious tale of kids in a Christmas play and their view of the three wise men's trek to visit baby Jesus. We also talked about the actual Christmas story and how they are similar and different. Afterward I had these print outs ready for the boys to write what they would bring if they were there. Lincoln said he would bring a pencil and a present. Dylan said he would bring a teddy bear because he can snuggle with it. What a thoughtful boy :)

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

By
My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

By
 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...
