Crafty Kids

Jolly Mom is hosting a very awesome giveaway! She's giving away a Crafty Kids USA  Creation Cottage Craft Model or Shuttle Imagination Craft Model.

I love their products, and would love to try one of these models out on my kids!

Step Into Summer With Borders!

• Jolly Mom is giving away a $100 gift card to Borders!
• There is so much stuff there that we easily could spend a whole night in the store just reading, playing with their Folkmanis Puppets, looking at their games and crafts.
• Even though I'm an adult I always go to their children's book section. I love the quick reading and fun sometimes beautiful illustrations in the books.

Where Art Thou Pup?

• I read on Jolly Mom's site that in order to remove dust mites from stuffed animals you can put them in a plastic bag, stick them in the freezer for 3 or more hours and then vacuum them.
• I put Isaak's puppy in the freezer 3 days ago. I forgot about it.
• I remembered it when I went to put his sheets on his crib after washing them.
• I couldn't find the puppy. A good clue that I need to clean out my freezer!
• Daddy finally found Isaak's favorite puppy. It's now tucked safely in his arms dust mite free.

Summer Plans

• Daddy has a one man art show coming up in July.
• We're not going on vacation until early August. Right before school starts up again.
• Lincoln, Nebraska, which is one hour from here is where we are going. We're going to visit their Children's Museum and then onto another museum, Morrill Hall that is packed full of dinosaur bones.
• After that we're spending one day at The Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, MO. Then it's back home we go.
• We wanted to go to South Dakota this year, but time is cut short. I'm kind of glad because Isaak's still pretty little to travel far.
• Our long term goals for vacations are Colorado, so the kids can see some bigger mountains and maybe someday we can take the kids to a beach. I'd love to make my way back to Savannah, Georgia some year. Taking the kids to the beach would be fun! We live way to far from one. I'd like to wait until they can remember those trips.
