Hand and Feet Painting

I was reading one of my activity books and saw an activity for Feet painting. We got out the newspaper, paint and regular paper and got to work. This was one of Alyssa's favorite activities. What started out as just feet painting, ended up being feet, hand, and whatever else painting.
At the end of it, we had a lot of pictures to send to family of Alyssa's feet and hands which are cherished by her Grandparents and parents.

Cost: A couple dollars for paint and paper

Stars: 5/5

Time Length: A couple hours - depending on the child - we added on a long swim in mom's big bath to help clean her off. A total of about 3 hours for our set up, activity time and clean up.

What we would change: I would love to have a big roll of paper instead of lots of little regular sized pieces of paper.

A Bus Ride

Alyssa is fascinated by busses and trains and all kinds of different transportation. We decided to take a trip as a family on the bus. We went to downtown Springfield. We got off and got a treat. We got back on the bus and came home. Alyssa still talks about going on the bus and asks to go again.
Cost: This was $1 per person each way. Kids are free.
Stars: 5 out of 5
What we would change: Not a thing. We are going to do this again.

Going to the Park

An Activity that is a staple in our family is going to the park. My daughter, Alyssa, loves it. Every time we drive past a park she says "I'd like to go to the park, Mom." So sweet. During the winter and colder days it is hard to get out but when we do, we LOVE it.

Welcome to our new blog

Recently I have realized that I only have a certain amount of time before my babies go off to school and I can no longer spend the time with them that I want. I have a 2 year old little girl and a baby on the way. I want to make the most of each minute I have with them so I decided to have some kind of activity that is just for them a few times a week. These are our adventures, feel free to do these too.
