When I used to dream of having children, I imagined doing crafts with them, baking, celebrating holidays, and things like that. When I first brought Bethie home from the hospital, I remember looking at her and thinking how tiny she was, and how long it would be before we could do the things I had imagined when I was pregnant with her.
Time flies, as it always does when you have something precious, and here I am now doing all those fun things with the most wonderful 2-1/2 year old girl in the entire world.
I am not a morning person like Bethie, so our mornings are very low-key while she runs around here and I try to wake up. Afternoons, though, that's when the fun starts. We try to do a project each afternoon, whether we bake or create or go on an outing. Some days, like today, we do something simple like coloring Halloween pictures. Other days, we get a little messy.
The last two weeks have been very quiet around here as both Bethie and I were sick, but this week we've gotten our groove back. On Monday, we made a ghostly garland out of our hand prints:
We made jack 'o lanterns to decorate the front door:
And I made a countdown calendar that Bethie will get to use starting next week.
Each window has a different fun acticity for us to do, just in case we can't come up with something ourselves!
P.S. I don't like the changes in formatting, so bear with me while I re-learn how to insert photos!
