Little Okie Homestead

Who would have thought that life would be more crazy here at home than when I was in Oklahoma helping get a wedding together and then caring for four boys 5 and under? Not me that's for sure! But instead of coming home and going back to my normal everyday schedule with the boys I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! First trying to get life caught up from being gone for two weeks. Getting new phones that actually work, trying to get things unpacked (there is still plenty in the car), making a plan for the busy week ahead and then contacting everyone that I had said "let's talk when I get back."

What could be better for 2 little boys that want to play outside than Jet Packs that can transport them anywhere they want to go! So what is a mom to do but create a fun way for the boys to go and explore!  All you need to create this fun, little boy approved, craft is An empty cereal box White paper or paint Red, orange, and yellow paper or crape paper to make the flames  String or yarn  Glue Crayons or markers Cover the cereal box in the white paper and let the kids color and decorate it however they want. Then have them rip up the red, orange and yellow paper and then staple it to the bottom of the box.
