Last night Nathan begged me to make him an astronaut outfit out of a Target paper bag. And, you know me – always looking for ways to reuse and recycle. Here’s the madness that ensued afterwards: Nathan’s costume was complete with a rocket blaster drawn on the back. By the…

Even kids love mail.
Today Nathan got his first issue of Lego Magazine. I handed it to him in the car on the way to someplace and he was enthralled the entire way. They’ve got fun new ideas for building things with Legos, mazes, word searches, etc. You can get a free two-year subscription…

Miss Laura would be so proud.
Here’s a version of Musical Footsteps, Part Two. Since Will brought home his harmonica last week from KM, Nathan’s managed to dig his out of the music bin upstairs in the playroom. These two have been doing quite a harmonica jig over the past few days. Nathan will play a…
