While Daddy is Gone

                I suddenly find myself with a lot of time where it is just me and the kiddos, with AJ at ASU so much now-a-days. We all wake up around 6:30 to 7 AM and AJ is gone by 7:10.  That doesn’t give us much time to anything more than eat and pray.  Then, I have 5 hours before lunch and nap time to fill in with activities. 5 hours is a long time when it is spent with a 2 year old who is done with something after 15 minutes!  That is 20, 15 minute, intervals till lunch. So I came up with a list of fun things to do to keep us busy.

• ·         Outside time (walk and playground)
• ·         Reading books together
• ·         Singing primary songs
• ·         Bath time
• ·         Coloring
• ·         Counting Games
• ·         Letter Games
• ·         Shapes and Color Games
• ·         Jesus Movies (Living Scriptures)
• ·         Snacks
• ·         PLAY time

Here are some fun pictures of our adventures yesterday morning:

Samuel put on his own shoes this morning and he is ready to GO!

This little Lily of mine is TOO cute!  (She is trying to eat the camera.)

                We went on a walk around our apartment complex ... well; I walked and carried Lily while Samuel rode his super cool Lightning McQueen buggy.  We also decided to stop by the playground in our apartment complex.  Samuel had a blast sliding down the slides while Lily and I played with the rocks and felt the grass with our feet.
