Take me to Mars- No, Really!


Can you spot all three of my kiddos in the last picture? So we are dying of bordom and Parker follows me around the house asking "What are we going to do next"- ALL DAY LONG! So yesterday we got creative thanks to a ad in Parenting Magazine that had this idea to make a space shuttle out of a box. So once we got it all set up and I tell Parker we are going to Blast off and we count down 3, 2, 1- He looks at me and says (imagine sad puppy eyes)"It didn't work!" I go on to explain that we are just playing pretend. Which he responds with "NO not pretend!" I finally got him to calm down by turning on the vacuum for a little sound effect action. Poor kid really thought we were going to Mars! I have remember these fun moments as all I have had today has been crying, and whinning . Some days are good I just have to remember that!

Sickness + Bordom =




=A little creativity. With Parker being in preschool this year we get to exchange Valentines Day cards. We have all been home bound for the last week and a half with us all being sick so it was nice to make these with Parker. He was so cute helping me package these and tie the ribbons on. He asking me how many nights of sleeping until he could take them to the kids in his class. Can you tell that they are little airplanes? I got the idea off of Flickr.
