My Baby is TEN

Mae was our very first little girl. I can't believe that she is already ten!

David said at one point this week,

 "You know, if she gets married when you did,

we only have nine more year with her." 

Not a happy thought.

We celebrated all week long,

 But instead of boring you all with the details,

 I thought I would just show you all of the pictures.

All of the guests names and a team sign that my girls colored.
Obviously, volleyball was our theme!

I used an idea I saw on Pinterest and chocolate covered sandwich cookies for our volleyball cupcakes

Each guest got her own waterbottle

We played some indoor balloon volleyball

And, of course; she got alot of gifts

Lots of headbands and candy!

I just love how Tess is trying to fit that whole thing in her mouth at once!!

A few of the girls really liked the chicken cooop

A little bit of soccer and outdoor volleyball to end the day!
It was beautiful out!

Well, That's it. 

Now to not think about how old she will be next year.....

Brett's Busy Hands

You're six, sitting in "Big church"

"Is it almost done?"

"I'm thirsty"

Your mom shakes her head "No" and turns her attention back to the pulpit.

"I need to go to the bathroom"

"REALLY!! Can I go to the bathroom?"

She whipsers back, "He's almost done."

"Sniff, sniff, sniff...." Mom hands you a tissue,

"I don't need to blow my nose"

"I don't like this pen."

She doesn't even acknowledge you this time...

"Haley's touching me."

"Haley's touching my paper."

"Haley's foot touched my foot!"

Now she's glaring at you.

But you can't help it!

You're soooooooooooooooo Boooooooored!!!

Sound Familiar?

This is every Sunday for us. Until now.

Let me introduce you to

The Busy Book!

I spent an evening a couple of weeks ago searching online for printable Bible activity pages and came up with this! A binder filled with coloring, activity and drawing pages just for Brett to use during church. 

I used 20 or so leftover sheet protectors and bought some dry erase markers at the $ Tree.

So each page can be erased and filled out over and over again!

My favorite page is the

"Draw the Speaker" page.

I also put some blank primary lined papers in the back of the book for taking notes.

(or for writing and re-writing your name and sight words, as has been done so far)

Here are some of the links I used.

This has really helped!

Now the adults in our row can actually listen...imagine that!

  Have a good week!
