Spring Activities for Caden and Thea B

 

Every other month or so, {Grand}MamaK puts together a care package for the Grands. I look for fun, educational, seasonal, developmentally-appropriate things that they can enjoy. Things like books, puzzles, fine-motor skills activities, role play costumes, and Montessori style 'works'. Because while I enjoy a good movie night and sugary treats like most people, I want to be a grandma that feeds the whole child, not just their tummies. (I also don't want their parents to groan every time I send a package, LOL) One of this month's goodies is a pincer grip activity that is built around bees, which not only covers the spring theme, but goes along well with our little Thea B's nickname. Caden is really enjoying it and I am DELIGHTED! 

Next month's box is already in the works, and I can't wait to send it! St. Patrick's Day, Easter, more Spring...whee! 

No Spend January and Pantry Challenge: Day 26

 Day 26 of No Spend January and Pantry Challenge: who is still hanging in there?

I spent money today on the grandbabies’ birthdays and sent along a little treat for Valentine’s Day, because it makes more sense to send one package than 3. But since all of those expenses are planned and saved for, they don’t count against me.

Food was tasty leftovers today, every single meal.

B- Chocolate croissant from our Sunday smorgasbord

L- Homemade pizza from Sunday night movies

D- Leftover smoked sausage from Saturday’s mac and cheese, plus mashed potatoes and green beans from yesterday, although we were all a little sad that there weren’t any more baked chicken legs.
