Pinterest is my new Interest!

Spending time on Pinterest is my new favorite pastime! I have found soooo many great ideas for our home! After a couple trips to craft stores, I am fully stocked to complete some projects to help add a personal touch to some of our rooms.

Here is my first completed project!

I used cardboard letters found at a craft store and covered them with fabric. I love it!

Vocabulary Explosion

Many people believe too much television is not good for children and to some extent I agree. However, I have also witnessed some positive results with my boys from watching television.

I LOVE when I hear my boys using vocabulary words beyond their years. And much of their extensive vocabulary has come from programs they watch on tv. I have fond memories of my two year old Cameron using shunting, conductor, and hauling with correct context during his imaginary play. And recently I overheard Cade using master, defeat, and padawan.

Young Minds

Two things amaze me about my boys:
1. how easy technology is for them
2. their imaginations

We recently spent a few days with my parents while Eric was out of town and one evening the boys used the iPad to create some Star Wars episodes. Not only did I not know the iPad could make movies, I definitely did not know how to make one myself. I do now!

I also loved watching the movies after the boys made them. Their imaginations and also their vocabulary are very entertaining.

I love these boys!
