I haven't posted for a while (Curtis did the last few) so I felt like I should.
Lately Adelyn has gotten way too big for her hooded towels, but she gets jealous of Hadley if I try to have her use a regular one. So my sister-in-law told me about some hooded towels she had made and I made some too. They're made out of regular towels. You can get two of them out of two towels and one hand towel. The kids love them! Here's the hood.
One day when the kids were bored, I decided to do a "craft" with them. Here's the end result:
I had them lie down on some butcher paper and I traced them. Then they helped me decorate themselves. They hated lying still for me to trace them, but they loved to decorate the pictures. I didn't even have very much for them to decorate them with but they didn't seem to care at all. Now they're hanging up in their room.
One night we went with Curtis when he went to play basketball with the guys in the ward. On the stage was this prop and the kids wouldn't stop playing behind it. Once I took a picture of them, they kept wanting more and after each one, they'd come out from behind to come look at their picture on the camera.One night we decided to take the kids bowling. We hadn't been since before Hadley was born. We invited my sister and her husband to join us and had lots of fun. I suck at remembering to take pictures, so you'll almost never see a picture of Curtis (he's always behind the camera), sorry!
Here's Hadley "bowling".
And here's Adelyn.
He had arranged everything for us to stay overnight at the Anniversary Inn. Including packing for everyone, even me! When we woke up on Monday, he drove me to Park City and we went shopping! It was one of my best birthdays ever!! I have the best hubby!

Oh, what a fun birthday idea! I may have to show Cole your blog with a big "hint hint" sign over it. :) I need to take my kids bowling. I didn't know they had those ramps for kids, and I think Emmett would love it! How fun!
Do you have a sewing machine? I have seen those hooded towels before (for older kids - made at home) and I think they are awesome! I just don't have a sewing machine...sigh! I love seeing all the pictures of your kiddos. What a fun idea with the life size pictures of your kiddos. You are a fun mom! :)
And of course, like I said on FB, I love Curtis' birthday gift to you. Awesome! I would LOVE a night away from the kids (well, soon to be kids) with Jeff!
