O.k. so I always see these blog giveaways and never enter (I never win anything anyways!!!) but this one looks awesome so I thought I would give it a whirl on the blog Coffee With The Mrs. she is giving away this really neat travel tray that would be super handy for pumpkin in the car or on the boat. I’m thinking “school on the go”, contained snacks, happy Mama and happy 3 year old!! Check it out who knows maybe you’ll win it!!

Spring Tot Style
Last week for school we were busy learning about “Spring” we will be continuing with this theme because there are so many fun things to do I simply couldn’t fit them all in one week! We did a muffin file folder game. Pumpkin really did well with ABA patterns…and still needs some help with AABB but we’re getting there.
We read many books about Spring The Crunching Munching Caterpillar
A cotton ball flower painting. We used cotton balls to make the flower heads. When the painting dried we made stems and leaves on them.
Our “S’ is for spring page. We pulled out the new sponge rollers I bought from Discount School Supply. The girls really had fun with this and the pictures came out beautiful. Look for a canvas painting in the coming weeks.
We enjoyed many other things too I just didn’t have the camera around. We took a nature walk (which we froze on) we looked for leaves, sticks, bugs, and baby birds. The girls each had a grocery bag to put her “special treasures” in! Our little 2 year old friend shouted “there’s a baby bird” and it was a brown baggie blowing around (very cute!). We enjoyed Play-Doh time, blocks, and the game Hi Ho Cherry-O
Restful Nights
Ok so funny story I was laying in bed last night thinking about what to blog about today? Most people sleep I “blog-rest”! A typical night looks something like this for me;
7/7:30PM girls go to bed
7:30/8:00PM finish chores (laundry, dishes, whatever I didn’t get done)
8:00-9:30PM read (one of many books…I’ve got going)
The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America’s Largest Families–How they Do It
The Vaccine Guide: Risks and Benefits for Children and Adults
Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
9:30 to bed I go (toss, turn, pray, think…10:00/10:15PM asleep)
11:00PM (K.bear gets up to nurse) 11:15 back to sleep…think, pray some more I may have dozed off the first time!!
1:00AM ..”Mommy”….(Pumpkins up going potty “will you cuddle?”)…cuddle for a few…doze off
back in my bed around 2:00 AM
2:30AM/3 K.bear want to nurse (again)
3:00-4:30/5:00 sound sleep….(WONDERFUL!)
5:00 K.bear is up and ready to go, eat breakfast with Daddy..see him off to work and that starts my day!
Are you exhausted?…..I am just thinking about it!! I have been asked a lot lately about “How do you do that?” I usually just say “How do you do it?”
If there is one thing I have learned with having kids there are some things you just “do”. There truly is no sense in whining about it who wants to listen to that? So for all my friends out there if you ever wonder why I don’t go out much at night…this would be why!! LOL
My attitude enjoy it now …because someday you’ll miss it!!
