Calendar Idea

Our Calendar

Hannah loves our calendar and will remind me every morning that we need to update it. Here is a fun idea that Hannah loved. Her aunt and uncle came to visit this month, so I found a picture of them, made a copy, cut it the same size as her calendar numbers and laminated it for durability. Their picture took the place of the 20th (the day they arrived) and each day Hannah added a new date, she would count how many days left until they arrived. The calendar also came with special dates like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays, etc. Hannah loves to count down to these special days also.

I am sorry for anyone who is checking for updates on our blog, since there haven't been any in a long time. We are so busy right now and I haven't had the time. We will be posting more staring the 2nd week in January :)

Our Metal Board

I have a metal board that I wanted to paint with chalkboard paint. However. things didn't go as planned. The paint wasn't sticking well (since it's a metal board and not wood) and I didn't feel like sanding the board, priming the board and THEN painting the board. So I just painted it a light purple (same color as Hannah's room) and bought this calendar set. Since we aren't writing on the board and are using small magnets for the backs of these calendar pieces, the paint is staying on without the sanding and priming.

I love this frog calendar set, it's so cute! Hannah doesn't really understand the whole calendar concept yet, but it's fun to play with. Every day we say "It's Wednesday, July 9th. Today is Wednesday, Yesterday was Tuesday and Tomorrow is Thursday" We change the days of the week each day and check to see what the weather will be like from our "Weather Frog".

This is what our weather is going to be like for the next 2 months...
