Earth, Love and Craziness

My life is more crazy and hectic than it should be. I am also very unorganized. I am slowly changing that and would like to share as I go. I am going to talk about going green, things I do to save money, and working on a healthy family. One day at a time. I have 3 children, Josie who is 10yrs old and two babies Ike and Sam who are a year apart from each other. I am nursing and cloth diapering both babies so it does get crazy in my house. I will let you know how I manage as I figure it out.

The New Toy - That Keeps On Giving!

Ike gets into everything. I mean EVERYTHING! He got into the craft box and made a big mess of the craft sticks. I started thinking about what container to put these in. Hehe...this time I tricked him into picking his mess up and Sam helped.

I just grabbed a ball jar and put 3 slits in the lid. They love it!

Yay! They did it! Finally picked up their mess!

This activity amazed me. They must have played with it 5 or 6 times in the same day. Thanks to this jar I was able to get housework done.

It is great for Sam's coordination. It will also be great for Ike to learn to match colors, learn his colors and counting. I do need to be careful the boys don't put these in their mouths. They have been in the craft box for years and they came already painted.
