Arts and Crafts: Fun!Fun!Fun! :)

I was talking to my mom a few days ago, and was telling me about all the crafts and fun things she did with us kids growing up. We did a craft every day, whether it be play doh, construction paper, drawing, etc. I remember a little bit of it, and still love looking back at those memories. She also told me she started us on this ritual when we were about my Jens' age! So I decided I'd start the next generation on it!
I went shopping yesterday, and of course, went a little overboard. I bought a whole craft kit full of pompoms, pipe cleaners, glitter and stickers, markers, the crayola stampers for Jens' age group that he can grip in his fists, construction paper, play-doh, a HUGE "floor pad" of drawing paper, and glue sticks. But Jens and I sure had fun shopping!
I've also written out a rough schedule for which crafts to do each day, but I figure its fine to be flexible. So yesterday, we did Monday's activity, which was coloring with the stampers. Lets just say, he was covered! ;)
Today we did Play-doh, which he of course loved- both to play with and eat! ...I've got to figure out how to get him not to eat it, or we'll run out faster than it'll dry out! We also tried making funny glasses out of the pipe cleaners, but I've got to figure out the kinks first!
Anyways, here's some pics of those fun activities. Also a video of Jens roaring for the dinosaur I made for him!

Here's a good view of our Living Room- almost unpacked, but will probably move stuff around- so don't judge too harshly! It actually looks better in real life than at this angle. But, you can see how much room there is!! Jens loves crawling/walking around- tons of room for him to wander!

Btw- that's our HUGE freezer on the back porch: Dont ya love it! ;)

To Start off...

I thought to start off with, I'd show everyone our new apt that we just moved in this past July 30th. Older apts, but great management, and actually a lot of room considering our last apt. We LOVE it!!!

Hello World!!

TA Da!! Here we are on the map now. After seeing almost everyone else's blogs, I decided it was high time that we have one too. Especially since my dad and bro will be deploying to some sort of sandbox soon, and this is our last year in Rexburg. After that, we could be anywhere! So here goes!
