This and That and Birthdays

Finn is obsessed with this one toy Grandma and Grandpa Starkey gave him for his birthday. The middle section spins around and around and if you put a car in the middle, it will shoot it out. Finn likes it for other reasons...he fits perfectly in the middle section:






This morning I made Home Made Granola and it is delicious!!! I'm changing up my food habits, but that is a whole different blog post! While I was making this, Jack was begging to paint. So I let him and I decided to give Finn a paintbrush and construction paper as well. If you have little ones and don't want to deal with the mess of actual paint or watercolors, then just get a paintbrush wet and let them "paint" the construction paper. It is awesome. In the summertime, I bring out cups of water on the deck and let Jack paint the deck. Endless entertainment.






Today is my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday. It's also my Mother-in-Law's birthday. Happy Birthday. It's also my sister-in-law's birthday! Happy Birthday! Isn't that crazy? Another random fact about sharing birthdays - out of my 5 best friends from high school - four of us share birthdays. Two of us in January , Two in June, and then the other two are loners and have the day all to themselves :-) I love birthdays!

Happy Thursday.

  3. Ryder has that spinning car toy too and he loves to put all his body weight on his hands and stop the spinning. I'm sure it's great for the motor...haha.

    PS, great freakin idea on the "painting". I will keep that in my memory for the future!!
