Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!

   Today the boys and I had a very productive day.  We started the day by making a quick run into Target to pick up a few things and because its Target I always seem to walk out with a little more than I had planned :)  I picked up these adorable little "dip bowls" by Threshold.  I put them on a long plate I already had and placed it next to my stove.  They house my cooking staples- garlic, sea salt, etc.   

Next the boys and I met friends at a trampoline gym.  We LOVE going there- its something to do in the winter, gives them plenty of exercise and wears them out for nap time!

After nap, the boys had sensory play with pasta.  I love sensory play and see so many neat ideas on Pinterest, but I never seem to have all of the materials on hand.  I usually have pasta in the pantry.  Pasta sensory play is so easy and keeps the kids busy for .... 5 mins?    Jack loved pulling the pasta OUT of the bowl while Brooks wanted the pasta to be put back in. 

Then came laundry-I try to include the boys in my chores around the house.  Brooks loves to help me with whatever he can- cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.  Although it usually creates more work me in the end, I feel as though its important to make your home a team effort.  I want to raise my boys to be able to cook, clean, do their laundry, etc.  Their wives will hopefully thank me one day :)  

Hope you all have had a happy Friday :)
