We are so excited to be the host city of the 2012 Super Bowl! Indianapolis has transformed into a masterpiece and we can’t wait to go downtown and take it all in! There’s lots of family-friendly entertainment, and one of the biggest hypes has been the zip line takes off from a 95-foot launch tower, and whizzes 800 feet across the Super Bowl Village on Georgia Street.
Sign me up. Except the pre-sales are sold out and lines will no doubt be long as it’s likely to be the biggest attraction of the Super Bowl.
So my boys have an “indoor alternative thriller” with their Colts Pillow Pets. Almost nearly as thrilling and arguably more laughter inducing.
At least we have something to laugh about after our rough season. =)
If you are local – will you be participating in any of the Super Bowl events?
If not – will you be watching at home or attending a party?
You know how some of the most simple ideas are the most genius? THIS is one of those. I repinned this idea a little while back, and low and behold when Clark came down with a sinus infection this past week and needed antibiotics, we tried it out.
Just mark the days and time right on the bottle and check off after the medicine is given. Instead of trying to solve the mystery over whether it was yesterday or this morning that you gave meds last, you can just check the bottle. {Wait am I the only one who is this forgetful?

It also makes it so much easier if more than one person is involved in giving your child medicine (husband, babysitter, nanny, etc.).
Perhaps you already have a system, or perhaps your memory is much sharper than my own, but if not THIS very well may change your life. =)
Yesterday was one of those afternoons that lingered FOR-EV-ER.
I’m sure you never have days like these … but we’ve had some fevers and colds this week, so we are a tad stir crazy, grumpy, and tired.
I picked up my copy of The Preschooler’s Busy Book in search of a craft or something we could make together to get us through the afternoon. I decided on a whim to give the Homemade Face Paint a try. The recipe from the book seemed simple enough, but in order to have several colors and enough for four faces I tripled the recipe. (I had more than enough, so next time I would probably just double the recipe.)
Homemade Face Paint:(Double Recipe)
2 tsp. Cornstarch
1 tsp. Facial Cream or Lotion
1 tsp. Water
Food Coloring
Combine the cornstarch, cream, and water in a small bowl. Divide into a few smaller bowls to make separate colors. Add several drops of food coloring in each individual bowl until desired color is reached.
I am in no stretch an “artist”, but they didn’t seem to notice.
Even when my “Spiderman Spider” turned out like an octopus.
I re”kindled” my love for reading in 2011, much to the credit of an earlier bedtime for the boys (after dropping nap) and my Kindle Reader that Brad got me for my birthday. I don’t have a ton of free time, as many of you can relate with… but I do love a good read [...]
Make that 3 four year olds. Uno. (Brooks) Dos. (Isaac) Tres. (Clark) I know it’s thumb sucking is a terrible habit. AND it’s terrible to break. Henry is the only one exempt and he’s pretty proud of that fact. It started back in the day when Brad and I were trying to survive the [...]
Although it’s been an unseasonably warm winter for us in Indiana thus far, we know more snow days are soon to replace the 40 and 50 degree temps we’ve been enjoying. Snow days are a lot of work to get bundled and dressed x 4 but it always pays off in pure delight! These ten [...]
I can’t even fathom how much it would cost to take our family of six to a NBA Indiana Pacers game with lower level tickets. I’m thinking it could pretty much pay for a vacation somewhere warm. But when six tickets were offered for FREE through a friend of Brad’s in his professional organization, we [...]
Source: etsy.com via Jen (QuatroMama) on Pinterest I remember when the boys were tiny and we were so anxious for them to sleep through the night. Sometimes I miss those quiet moments in the middle of the night when I didn’t rush back to bed, but held them a little longer in the darkness. [...]
My boys were introduced to the wonderful world of Lego this Christmas. Secretly I love to following a step by step booklet and ending up with a wonderful creation . The only downer? The clean up. Or missing one and stepping on it with bare feet. YIKES! Want a simple tip for making Lego [...]
