I challenged myself to do something fun with the kids every day through October, even if it is something small! Here is how it went!
Day #1 We started out playing with a huge balloon and making Hot Cocoa!
Of course we had to add whipped cream!
Day #2 We painted rings out of paper plates and played ring toss!
Day #3 FHE I will obey lesson, And yes he said he wanted it to be upside down on purpose so that green is on top, because green means GO!!
Days #4/5 (We went a couple times) Lava now has an indoor water play place for kids and it is open every Tuesday for a couple hours all winter long!
Day #6 Braxton made a hand tree with finger print leaves!
Day #7 We made and decorated a sign that says we love you Daddy, and hung it outside our window!
Day# 8 Braxton did some finger painting!
Day #9 Braxton's favorite of the whole month was helping, which we were able to do a few times!!

Day #17 I dyed rice and hid letters in it, when he pulls out a letter he tells me what letter it is and the sound it makes, the ones he doesn't know I help him with:)
