Toddler Boredom Busters

My friend Valerie is an amazing mom and has some great ideas of things to do with toddlers. She even blogs about it on her "Toddler Boredom Busters" blog. Alli and Nick have had so much fun going over to do projects with her kids. You can see what they've been up to here.

Makenna's Pictures

I took Makenna to get her pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. She was obsessed with trying to suck her fingers that day, but the photographer still got some good smiles. If you know me, you know that I hate taking my kids to get their pictures taken. Maybe because I'm sort of a perfectionist and my kids don't sit perfectly still (or even still at all!). Maybe because Brian has a nice camera and takes great candid shots...portraits are just not my favorite thing to do. But, I was pretty happy with these. Maybe I'll even try to get a picture of all the kids together - yikes!
