Wow! I'm so proud of myself. I've been blogging a lot lately. I'm also wanting to find out if people actually read this blog or not....not many comments. So either I have nothing interesting, or just plain boring.
The little things that made our day BIG:
#1
The kids received a package in the mail yesterday from Rande. The USO, in the Dallas airport, has an area where the soldiers can read books to their children on video. In the package was the video of Rande reading along with the books he read. Rande was so thoughtful; Ashlee loves elephants. So he picked out a book about elephants. Christian's book was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I was so surprised that the USO allowed him to send the books. Thank you USO, you do so much for our troops and their families. This video really made the kids' day.
See Rande on TV with ELMO?
#2Christian has a LEGO room! We have this closet in the hallway downstairs, which is under the stairway. When we first moved in I thought this would be a great play area. But it slowly turned into storage. Now that Christian has accumulated so many legos (thank you Rande), and I'm constantly having him pick them up, so I don't step on them...we needed to find them a home. So we converted the storage area into "Christian's Lego room". He was soooo excited when I told him the idea. So far we have the legos and a lantern (battery operated) in there. I've been told that a sign needs to be made, and a shelf put up for his lego designs. This will be a great place for Christian to go and have some "alone" time, and no on has to tell him to pick up his legos, and no one can destroy what he has created (Ashlee). Legos are a big thing with Christian and Rande, so this is just what he needed - he was a happy little boy last night as you can see the huge smile on his face.
That is awesome the video thing is so cool, had never heard of that before but what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd the lego room I think everyone has that storage space under the stairs that is a great way to use it.
I read your blog I just don't always comment. It is amazing to see your strength while your husband is deployed and to hear about all the fun adventures you guys have.

That's the coolest idea about the books. And so awesome that the kids can watch it whenever.
ReplyDeleteThe lego room is also awesome. What a special thing for him.
I ready your blog all the time and love it, though to be honest, when you don't post for a long time, I tend to forget to check. :)
This is great!!!! I love the Lego room idea :)
ReplyDeleteThat is very special to have daddy read them books and the great thing is they can watch it over and over until daddy gets back home! Christian looks like he loves his "Lego Room" what a great idea! I love looking at your blog but don't always comment. Please keep it up. I love to see what's up!
