Sand Time

I got the kids this amazing sand stuff that stays together and feels awesome when your running your hands through it. It kinda clumps together and doesn't make THAT big of a mess. 

We picked up one for Beckham and one for Reegan just because I didn't want any fighting (& by fighting I mean Reegan throwing a fit) 

 

I just grabbed them each a container to keep the sand in and then some gadgets around the kitchen. THEY LOVED IT! It definitely kept them entertained and was a great sensory item for Beckham. He made castles and used cups to stack sand from one cup to another. Reegan had a blast running her hands through it and watching the shapes after she lifted the cup, or cookie cutter.

Easy clean up and put away for next time. 

Love Anthony

I just finished THE best book ever. I've never been much of a reader. I don't really have a particular style or series of books I am interested in or keep my attention. I wish that weren't the case and I wish I could relax more and enjoy a good book. With that being said, I can finally say I DID IT! This book LOVE ANTHONY was such a great book. I enjoyed everything about it. There were so many things I could relate to, could understand, needed to learn & hear. 

I can honestly say it has blessed my life and my outlook. 

Happy 20th Lindsay Arlene

Today is Lindsay's 20th Birthday! TWENTY years old! I can not believe how fast the last 20 years has gone. I can remember like it was yesterday, the week I brought her home. My life changed and has never ever been the same since the day I became a mother. 

Lindsay has so much going for her. She's made some amazing choices and some hard decisions in an effort to try and better herself and her life. She's 20 now, and I guess that just comes with the territory. 

Happy Happy 20th Birthday Lindsay. I hope this is by far your best year ever! 

A Colorful Sunday

 

So the kids got a coloring book today and some WASHABLE crayons. Reegan has eaten 2 crayons and Beckham has used the table for a canvas.

Quirks of an Autistic Child

I feel like I could write an entire post about ANY child's quirks, but this post is ALL about Beckham's latest quirk. 

Beckham has an obsession with peeling labels and stickers off ANYTHING. It could be a bottle from the fridge, a can in the pantry, a label on ANY item, even the meter has a sticker on it (sorry neighbor) ! 

He leaves quite the trail of a mess, but it keeps him focused for quite a while! 

Photo Dump

It has been such a long time since I blogged and I have got to be better at it. Not because we're so exciting, but because I don't scrapbook or keep up on baby books very well. I had a few pics on my phone I wanted to post (hence the title photo dump) 

A little reading time for Ms. Reegan

Reegan hasn't been feeling well this past week. She's had a bad cold and a bit congested. She's still been quite the busy lil bee with her sweet and sassy personality. Here we're a few pics I got while she was brushing up on her Go Dog Go! reading adventure.
