Forgotten Pics

Sooo....Life back in the South means tornado season in the Spring! I just had to get Drew up from his nap to spend some time in the bathtub. I heard the sirens go off and turned on the news to hear them start talking about possible rotation at a park that is right by our house. I grabbed phones and pillows then grabbed Drew and a few books. Thankfully it passed quickly! I have attempted to put him back to bed, but so far that plan isn't working out. I think I am going to put together a few books and snacks to keep in the guest bedroom beside the bathroom we use for bad weather. I had to put supplies together for hurricanes in Texas and Florida, but I need a tornado kit in Mississippi!

Here are a few pics from the last month or so that didn't make it to the blog earlier.
We attempted potty training for a few weeks. This was my ploy one morning to get him to sit on the potty. Stickers and juice didn't do the trick!
I love this pic of him with the girls while we were in Arkansas in February. He LOVES these girls.
Celebrating my sweet friend Stacey's bday. Drew thought he would help Emma and her mom blow out the candles!

The last few weeks I have tried to have some sort of afternoon activity for Drew for when he wakes up for his nap. It seems to make our afternoons go better if we have something planned for us to do. I have found a couple of blogs that have given me great ideas for activities and so far I haven't had to spend any money. I have just used things around the house.
We painted a few pictures with different shapes from a shape sorter.

The final product.

To say that Drew loves music is an understatement. Hal and I had looked at a Melissa and Doug music set for him but decided on buying something else. Last week, I made him his own set. My cake pans will never be the same. I made two shakers out of rice and paper cups and then wrapped them in duct tape or I am pretty sure that I would now have rice all over my house! (Sorry I can't post the video Grammy. My camera is in his room and I am not going in there!)
Today we are going to try two new activities. We don't have Mother's Morning Out this week because of Spring Break so I knew we would have to do something to keep little man entertained!

Thanks for the pictures! Good thing Aunt Suzy and the girls sent the shape sorter your way. Looks like you have found another use for it. Reckon he will play the drums for Grampy next week? Looking forward to our visit next week.

I would love to know the blogs that give you craft ideas. What a great idea!
