Welcome to our blog

Even though I am starting 4 years into the process, I am going to document my experience with raising a family. After finding out that you can print your blog into a book, I decided this would be one of the best gifts I could give to my children and to myself. The moments are precious but life is moving at such a fast pace that I just don't have time to appreciate it all. I want my kiddos to know how much they are loved even when life is crazy...Enjoy.

Toy Lab: Upcycled Toy Making

Well, ever since Happen Inc.'s Toy Lab moved into the northside we've been eager to go and build a toy.  Basically, they have bins of broken plastic toy parts that you can use to recreate your own toy.  It was super cute watching the boys go through all the bins trying to pick out the perfect parts.  The toy lab guy then uses a dremel tool and hot glue sticks to reassemble the toy. They then name their toy and its abilities and voila they are Toy Inventors....

I already can't remember Hudson's toy names.  They were really odd, like ishu and pickles...

Eli's toy was named Stella!  And she shoots magic and Kicks Butt!

Jonah was the birthday boy so we offered to take him with us...
