Kid fun

This weekend the kid asked me to get on pinterest to find some crafts.  I think it is silly that she even knows about that. She pays attention.  Here are 3 things that we did.

1.  We cut out these fun questions and put them in 2 jars.  We each took turns drawing a question from the jar and answering it.

2.  All of us went on a scavanger hunt walk around the neighborhood.

3.  Painted our nails crazy.  Did not turn out like this picture but it was fun.

Mama and Me

I love this!!  The kid loves to read and to write.  So this has been so much fun.  This is just a simple way to write small notes and letters back and forth.  Nobody actually sits and writes to each other these days.  It's either all by text or email.  It is nice to have a good note hand written on paper to read.
I know in 20 years we will pull this out and have a really good laugh.

One of the best parts of anything exciting that is about to happen is the anticipation.  I remember being a kid and having butterflies before we went on family vacations.  Even if we knew about it months in advance.  To a kid, time moves like a snail.  That is why I love countdown chains.  Then it is plain to see how much longer you have....and you can get more excited by the day.
The everyday cardstock chains, we have been there-done that many times.  I wanted to do something new. 
So here are our countdown to Disney candy chains.  (The Mickey and Minnie were done on a cricut)
It did take some time, I almost dont want it to get eaten!
