I will one day figure out how to blog more than once a month with multiple children... for now, you get this very quick post since I wish I was in bed an hour ago. :)
Jon went to Kansas City for a couple of weeks some weeks ago. We very much missed him and were very much happy to have him back! One small activity we did to help fill our time was a Pinterest find.
We smashed baked cotton balls.
I'd say this was an 'alright' activity. Koen probably had more fun covering them in the flour/water mixture than smashing them. But we still enjoyed it. After baking them, the outside becomes hard, but the inside is still very soft.
Koen loves helping me take care of Hadley. He asked if he could feed Hadley with a bottle, so I got one ready for him. He's enjoyment of this activity didn't last long before he was ready to move onto other things. But it was sweet at first. :)
Koen was thrilled to find a valentine with his name on it Valentine's morning. He was so excited about the big heart with his name, that he didn't even notice the bag of cookies I had next to it for him. But once he discovered the sugary treat... the big, paper heart didn't matter so much. :)
I was impressed that he told me he was going to wait until after breakfast to eat a cookie. What a smart boy! :) He didn't wait long until he finished breakfast, and I didn't mind letting him have two cookies early in the morning. (He wanted to save his third one for when Dad got home... it didn't quit make it that long.) Valentine's day is special! :)
Koen LOVES playing with his Dad. It looks like Jon is enjoying it too. :)
We made a homemade road mat. The first building Koen requested we draw was JoAnn's fabrics and crafts store. Maybe I've taken us there more often than I thought!
Sometimes my little man needs some good play time with his Mom. And sometimes, my little lady doesn't want to happily be anywhere else than with Mom. When these times happen to run into each other, it results in Hadley hanging under me as I crawl around on the floor.

Yay for big brothers being the little helpers! It is so fun to see and hear how things are going with your family. Thanks for the website I will have to get on there this week with Asher and see how it goes. Oh and I LOVE the baby wearing! I know I will probably be in the same boat once Owen is awake more during the day. Hope everything else is going well for you!
We will take any pictures that we can get, even if they only come monthly. :)
I've been curious about the cotton ball pinterest activity... thanks for posting your experience with it LOVE your road map you guys made!
