Guests, crafts and machines…

A fun day today… we had guests! Some very good friends stopped by for a belated Christmas gift exchange and much fun ensued. The kids all had a good time playing together and CareBear played hostess by swiping graham crackers off of the counter for everyone.Â
We set up the CareBear’s new toddler bed and I made a canopy for it! I found these instructions and adapted them a bit as there’s no need to be quite so fussy for a toddler’s bed. My version is much simpler and there’s no sewing involved. Anyway, CareBear got to pick out the colors that went into it and I think it came out pretty nice!
CareBear thinks it’s fun and LiliBee pretended to sleep.
One of the new Christmas presents was some nifty battery-powered gears for on the refrigerator. CareBear opened the package all by herself and told me that she was going to make a special machine! I love that she knew that was what gears were used for.
My whole family was fascinated.
Even Lucy came over to check it out!
