Pinterest Projects

Bow and headband holder I made with an old frame (I actually owned everything already so it was a free project).

Another free project. Our old crib that was broken in our move has been sitting in pieces in the attic. I honestly got this down, put a nail in it to hang Ralph's shoe horn and was done. Now we can see all our magazines, instead of digging through a pile of them.

 Heather Tanner helped me out with these. She's amazing basically any vinyl project you have she can help. I told her my general idea and what she sent me was perfect. I turned J's old blue nursery into a girly nursery for baby girl without painting. She has the circles all around the top of the room, a pink and white painting I posted about before and a pink and white circles mobile that make a blue room fit for a girl.

I saw these online and wanted them, so to Heather I went again. Now visitors won't have to ask that the doors go to.

Toddler Time 2

Seriously the best $4 dollars ever spent. He played with these pipe cleaners for several hours. (literally several hours... HOURS)

"Washing Hands" Anything with water is a no brainer for Jackson. Hand washing takes at least 10 minutes everytime. (We use washcloths alot, not as sanitary but its way faster)

Swimming in the living room. He wanted his little water wings on and ran around the house "swimming" happy as a clam.

Jackson's New Toys

We got Jackson some new toys using Kingwood Yard Sales website. Got a great deal on a climber with slide, Radio Flyer Tricycle and Radio Flyer Wagon. J and Hadley have been loving playing/riding on them.

Go BYU!

Thanks Mom and Dad for the Game Day shirts. (I'm wearing mine now as I post this)

Manly Men

Ralph made J a new big boy toddler bed so that we could get him used t his new room before baby comes. The finished project looks great. Jackson sleeps like a champ in there for naps and at night and loves jumping and playing in it in between.

 The bed took awhile to make but mostly because J wants to be just like dad and help. Here he spent the afternoon making little progress because J wanted to hammer the nails in just like dad, but with poor aim and a screwdriver.

A much needed nap after a hard days work in the garage. They are so cute.

Toddler Time

I've been trying lots of toddler learning/play activity ideas from online. Some J loves and some he could careless about.

 Jackson loves my nesting mixing bowls and enjoyed dumping numbers in and aout along with putting them up on a cookie sheet. Easy, cheap all reuseable.

 Ralph had more fun with this than J. J couldn't care about hammering the ice to free the toys. I'll try it again though cause its free and easy and I think he could have fun with it.

I found 100 ballpit palls for 3 dollars at Goodwill. Lets just say he loves them and they are all over out house all the time. He had some fun in the pack-n-play throwing them around, but its not really worth the work to collect all of them into it since he loves them out.

These are beans and little foam letters someone game me. This activity J likes but he's done after 2 or 3 minutes. He likes the way the beans sound on the tile- so he throws them all over. I just sweep them up and put them in a bag to use again though, so at least its a cheap activity even if it doesn't last long.

Huge fail. I've seen this one several times. Jackson touched it like 3 times and then wanted down. I'll try again later because its cheap- since I own lots of  paint and I think it could be a good way to teach colors and how they can mix and make new colors.

Again with the nesting mixing bowls- he just really likes these.
