This and That

We've been at mom's for three weeks now.  The kids and I are finally settling into a routine.  With getting our old house ready for sell, accepting and offer (in a short time), getting 95% of our stuff into storage, cleaning the old house and attempting to not disrupt our schedule too much, it has been crazy for months.  The kids have had way too much screen time.  The past two weeks we have been reeling it in to a more acceptable amount and I love the results.  The kids are playing together nicer and being more creative-the way it should be.

Yes, reality is still here and they do still argue, but not near as much.  They still are allowed some screen time-but in more appropriate quantities and not every day.

Precise Prince has been working on a Lego semi-truck for awhile.  He and Creative Princess have been playing Legos a lot today-building houses and such.

Yesterday, they decorated pre-made gingerbread cookies.  Normally we buy a gingerbread house but there is no room to display it this year so we went with cookies.  The bonus is they get to eat them.

Today we baked cookies for a friend who is having a craft/bake sale to raise money to adopt.
