Ushering in 2010 with Cold, Windy, Blustery Days!

I took down the tree in the upstairs hallway and moved the kitchenette and tea table set from the music room. This is as clean as its going to look for a while, I guarantee it. They have both enjoyed playing with it and AnnaBelle has had several tea parties with her little doll and a couple of stuffed animals.

We made some crafts today. I let him be as creative as he wanted. I started by giving him a blank piece of paper and then asking what he wanted to use on it. I would pull out what he told me and he came up with quite a design, well, truly one only a mother would love!

But it's the quality time spent together that is the true time well spent. It's our alone time when AnnaBelle is napping and he can have me all to himself. I do cherish these moments because I am learning how quickly they grow up. My little man is already 5 and will be starting kindergarten in the Fall. Yeesh!!

Crayola Beginnings has a winner on their hands. The "Color Me a Song" is one of the most creative toys to come along in a while for the age group. She has done more scribbling in the past few days than she has ever been exposed to. And a HUGE thank you to the inventor of washable crayons. They are a timesaver!! So on a scale of 1 to 5 stars (5 being the best) I would give it a 5! Easy to get out of the box, which these days for a toy is a chore in itself, and a good buy for the price!

So we welcome 2010 we open arms and the hope for a happy, healthy and prosperous year to everyone!
