A picture I like

When my parents were visiting in June, William was at that stage where he wasn't totally comfortable with new people yet. Sadly, because we have to live so far from home, my parents are new and unkown people to him. But, one day while we were shopping, William just wanted Grandpa. It was nice.

A fun treat

As if you couldn't tell, we like treats in our family. I especially like things that the kids can do with me. At the commissary today they had the Jello pudding singles for only 85 cents per package of 6. I figured out that at that price it was cheaper to buy the singles than to buy a package of instant pudding. It was fun to let the kids pour in their own pudding and stir it themselves.

Handmade Gumball machine

This is a project I made a couple of weeks ago that my kids love. I lost my camera for the moment, and so this is not the exact gumball machine I made, but this is the pattern I used.
