Terrific Tuesday

Flashback to childhood toys of mine today with the kiddos. We went digging through one of the kiddos closets and found some legos and some lincoln logs! Score!

...side note...is it just me or have legos gotten increasingly complex since I was young? There were a million pieces and like, 35 steps, to complete each little project in the booklet that came with it.

Also, the weather was super nice; especially this morning when it was still in the 80's and humidity was low! We went outside and played hopscotch (throwing in the teaching stuff there counting by 1's and 2's!),


and then we played a game that I kind of made up as we went along with a bullseye and some water guns (practicing counting by 5's and turn taking).


Oh, and then when it got too hot we brought it back new school with some Xbox360 Kinect Bowling!

Only a week and a couple days until the kiddos go back to school I can make it through...I think! :p







Linking Up to

Baby Shower - Games and Prizes

We are playing three different games at my sisters shower:
1.Guess the mom's belly size- each person cuts off as much ribbon as they think it'll take to wrap around the mothers belly at it's biggest point (don't worry, it was my sister's idea...she asked if we could play it). Whoever get's the closest wins.

2. Gift Bingo - number each present as they come in and hand out Blank Bingo cards once all the guests have arrive and have them fill in the numbers of gifts in random order on their cards. As the mom opens each gift she calls out the number marked on the gift, and the first person to get Bingo wins!

3. Guess What Celebrity This Is: I printed out the pages found here Game Number 152. They're childhood photos of celebrities. I'm going to give them 5 minutes to figure it out without hints to who the celebrities are, and if no ones gotten it correct by then I'll give them cheat sheets with the possible celebrities listed. Can anyone guess who this celebrity is?...

For prizes I have a spa set, a trio of candles, and some decorative plates. I figure I'll just let whoever wins pick from the prizes.

Two more days...I can't wait! I do so love to throw a party! :)
