Uncle Tony and Auntie Kristin invited Shecklet #1 over to spend the night at their house as part of his birthday present. From the looks of the photos that Kristin sent, he had an awesome time! They took him to Toys R Us where he selected a LEGO set, they played at the park, took Teddy (their dog) for a walk as well as played with him, made homemade pizza, and got to open an enormous art kit present from Kristin’s mom. (She is always so sweet to think of my kids!)
I’ve been pinning things to a “Fun for Kids” Pinterest board and was able to finally do one of the activities with the kids tonight. Jake was the photographer, so I also have photo documentation of what we did. We decided to try making slime. The kids all selected a glitter color and we made 4 batches.
Everyone thought it was one of the coolest things they’ve played with. Even Shecklet #4 enjoyed it. So much so, she broke out her hilarious giggle (that Jake was able to capture on video.)
The boys are off of school this week. In between mini study sessions we are doing things like this: 
The whole family slept in this morning. It was a treat to be able to get up and have a leisurely day around the house. Shecklet #1 assembled the weather station he received for his birthday. Later, the 4 kiddos played with the saint dolls that a group of ladies (myself included) painted. (They turned out pretty fantastic if I do say so myself!)
We had a crazy doorbell ring followed by a possible Nana sighting this evening. Out on front stoop, the kids were surprised to find colorful popcorn containers filled with blinking rings, confetti paper and gift cards to Target with Spot the dog toys attached. Such fun!
