Graduation Keepsakes....

So, a while ago I saw that there was a great gift idea to give to your own children that graduate from high school or college.  Someone kept the book, Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr. Suess, during their children's lives for teachers to sign.  The teachers were asked to write a little note in the book at the end of each school year to the children.  I thought this was such a great and thoughtful idea.  My son recently started a pre preschool and I wanted to start this tradition with his first "teacher."  I went to Barnes and Noble and was so excited to find this...

It is a Graduation Keepsake edition.  There is room in the back of the book for just the thing I was looking for!  Spaces for teachers and friends to write and a keepsake envelope.  Oh, it is so so cool.

I was so so happy with my finding that I purchased two books.  I wanted to make sure that I had one for each of my babies : ) I can't wait to start getting the book filled out.  It seems so far from now, but I am sure that when the time comes to give each kiddo their book it will seem like a blink of an eye of time from now.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Water Painting

It is raining in Santa Clarita today. First, I needed to think of something for the kiddos to do (3 1/2 and 17 months) that would keep them occupied for a while. I had an idea to make all the moms, grandmas and great grandmas Mother's Day cards. So I put the 3 1/2 year old to work ;). He started off by painting a large piece of paper with pink, red, purple and white paint. Then my 17 month old wanted to join in, and I did let her for a bit. Well, most of you know that handling two toddlers with paint is not so easy. So, I came up with water painting for the little and, voila!!! Busy for a half of an hour, that is what a call success!
