I call this one inventions as one time I had mentioned to Butterball about his "crafts" and he said they were not crafts but inventions. I am beginning to think he does not always sleep well at night because he will get up and immediately have a whole idea he wants to create.
My son woke up one day telling me he was going to make a movie camera and show movies in his room. This is what he came up with. He hung the box up on the wall, inside is a bright flashlight. Then he turned on a book on CD and we reenacted the scenes with our hands on the door. It was so wonderful and inventive. I loved this one and he loved having us all in there participating.
This is him doing the hand "puppet" on the door.
One day he was not feeling well and was laying on the couch. He made this little remote holder so that he could just reach out and use the remote. It was so cute but a huge source of tension as his little brother kept knocking it over.
My son has begged me to teach him how to sew. So one day I was taking in some of his pajama pants and decided to let him do a pair. This is the job he did. Not too bad! I told him that he did not need to go all the way around like that but he said he liked it that way. It worked and he wears them. Yeah!
He had show and tell one day at school. He came home and immediately started creating this. It is a little home for the raisin guy. He spent several hours on it. Funny thing was after he was done and had shown it to his class he was done with it. I find it interesting that he can spend hours on something and be done with it so quickly.
He wanted me to get an up close picture of the raisin guy.
And this is the ceiling with the light for him.
Much to my husband's dismay I save containers and boxes and what not all the time. He will wander back to where I keep them and get so excited about it and will immediately come up with a use for it. One nice thing is he can use them for a week or two and then will be done and what them thrown away. Nice!
And then she got braces on her front two teeth to prevent the gap that is there now from getting bigger as the expander does it's job. Eating has been different. The first night the orthodontist told her to have soup so we made Ramen noodles. The noodles kept getting stuck all over. The next night she had chilli and it took me brushing her teeth 3 times after that to get all the bean pieces out of her expander.
When the nursery took little Cricket back he immediately flopped his arms to the side so she took him over to the NICU. She came over to tell me, who was sobbing like crazy, that she thought he would be back with her shortly.
But that was not to be the case. His lungs were underdeveloped so he was put on oxygen. They were not sure if he also had an infection so they started him on antibiotics right away.
I know the head is where they put iv's on little ones but it was hard for me to see.
This is the kids first glimpse of him. It was hard for Butterbean to not be able to touch him and hold him.
We are so lucky and excited to have this cutie in our lives. We are truly blessed with this one.
And I am sorry but this is very suspicious to me. He is suddenly missing his whiskers and a piece of popcorn is there? Very very suspicious!

I am not sure if my kids are boring or just simple or can just use their imagination because for the Dino park they went quite simple. Butterbean just wore a cape.
Butterball with his batman sweatshirt and face paint. And yes, he chose the batman pj pants to wear with it.
And my tired frog who I woke up to go to this.
They had stands here and there throughout the park with candy, pencils, bracelets, etc. The kids also got to make their own slime which was a HUGE hit. We had a lot of fun and plan to come back next year for sure. And they had one scare factor which scared the pants off my kids at first but then later they wanted to go back and see it again. Then we sat on a bench near it and watched the others going through get their pants scared off. I am so glad we went.
Appleseed insisted on wearing his superman shirt but also wanted to wear the other one so this is how he spent most of the day.
And when it is too quiet, this one is in trouble. He was caught raiding the watermelon. That turkey!
