Moose and his birthday balloon! I tried to find a newer picture I hadn't used; apparently I don't take as many pictures as I used to and when I do, he is never looking at me. This weekend is the boys' Despicable Me family birthday party! I'm so excited. I'll post pictures later, but you can see where I borrowed the ideas from here .

Last week I finally got to the Nick Jr. website to print some paw prints off so we could play Blue's Clues. I did have to just find a picture of the Thinking Chair online for the Handy Dandy notebook, however. Any ideas what Blue wanted to do in the morning? This activity was a success...until the meltdown before nap time when I set up Blue's Clues to find a blanket, a book, and our comfy recliner. It was supposed to be for a bedtime story so we could read and then Moose could take a nap. He didn't want to read a story and take a nap; he wanted to keep playing Blue's Clues. He did take a nap (not a long one because the baby kept waking him up). I'm thinking this will be the theme for Moose's 3rd birthday party in July. I want to make the kids who come (anywhere from 1-5 other kids who would get favors) their own Handy Dandy notebook s. I need a better idea for how to "bind" them (I used sewing thread - doesn't work well and breaks easily). B...

Oh the weather here has been gorgeous today (I believe it hit in the 80s). We all had shorts on, no coats, no hats. I didn't wear sandals because my wardrobe is lacking in the sandals department, but that's ok. We played at the park, in our back yard. Big A did yard work. All in all it was a busy and wonderful day. All this to say that spring is in the air. I've also seen spring in the blogosphere. Many are holding spring-type giveaways and probably the largest one I've seen is: To celebrate their new communities on the BlogFrog , the SITSgirls , Today’s Creative Blog , Skip to My Lou , and Tip Junkie are hosting a Spring Fling! They will be hosting a giveaway every hour on all 4 ofthe blogs on April 13th from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm (CST). Which will total over $6,000 worth of products given away in one day! How amazing is that? So head on over to SITS or Tip Junkie or Skip to My Lou or Today's Creative Blog (or all 4) for more details. And good luck!
