Slow Down. Have Fun. Create.

   Things are slowing down a bit. Brooklyn is back in school. Life is returning to a schedule. We had a great Christmas! The kids and I made a list of things to do while they were out of school so they wouldn’t get bored… we only got through two of them! ha! And I promise we were never bored! :) I think we will continue to work through them!
Our List:

So fun for Brooklyn! And I'll have to check out the wig... Lina is set on being Rapunzel and having hair like hers for Halloween this year. :)

Such fun stuff to do with your kids. Love the wig and can't believe she is old enough to loose a tooth.

Oh, so fun at your house Holly! Always! What a great list of projects, we will have to do a few of those too! I can't believe Miss Brooklyn is old enough to have the tooth fairy visiting. What darling kids. They're so lucky to have you! Happy 2012!

It was so fun seeing you guys! You are a great mom, just like our mom! But I know how you feel, we truly are blessed to have a mom like we do! When did Brooklyn lose her tooth? That's super exciting for her! She's sure growing up! <3 ya!
