New Years Resolution

So this year my resolution is to spend more time with Bryce on a daily basis doing planned activities. Sure, we go out and do a lot and we play and such but I want to focus on a theme for the day and do activities/crafts that relate to that theme.

Yesterday was "National Bird Day." So after preschool we made cardboard bird binoculars, fed the birds, made chocolate nests with marshmallow eggs and listened to bird calls on the computer. We had a lot of fun!

Unfortunately, I left my camera at a family friends house this weekend (at the annual Epiphany Party) so I have no pictures of what we made. But - I found some examples online to give you an idea of what we did.

Today is "Three Kings Day" or Epiphany and I have some activities planned out for that today. I will share tomorrow. Happy Tuesday!
