Brite Idea!!

For Christmas, Gracie got her first Lite Brite. How many remember those?!? I totally remember the "classic" version, a flat board, black construction paper (usually left my hands with black all over them), colored pegs, and one single Christmas light bulb illuminating my masterpiece. It fell over a lot, the pieces got lost (the dog enjoyed them, I am sure), and it was sometimes hard to see the depth of my creation. Now, I am not knocking this groudbreaking toy by any means. I LOVED my Lite Brite! Truly, ask my mom. (Mom, tell them.) But I am amazed at how far toys have come in 20 some years. Now, it is a cube, much steadier, the paper is still black, but doesn't come off on your hands. It has a centrally located light, illumens all 4 sides at once, and it shines so brightly, you can actually tell the peg popped paper is a car! As for the pegs themselves, nothing new under the sun there. Same pegs, different dog. Sorry Chewy! But as for the enjoyment of my kiddo, priceless!! Please enjoy Gracie's first ever published Lite Brite materpiece! (If you can't tell, its a butterfly.) Love to all, happy creating!

Mother's Day!

So Mother's Day was so much fun this year!! We had an AMAZING musical that the K-6th graders put on, and WOW!! They did a fabulous job! I was so excited to see these adorable little ones honor their mommies in this way. I also thought it was a great day to take pictures of some of my buds and their kiddos. I hope everyone had a great and special day, and to all those mommies out there, I love you and thank you for doing a great job doing the hardest job out there!! Love to all!!!
