kidding around

I have 13 nieces and nephews with 2 others on the way. Every time one of their birthdays roll around, I think of them and then kick myself for not sending them a gift. It’s tough, especially when 12 of the are under the age of 7! And they live all over the country. So, this year I am starting to send each of them a gift and forgo the Christmas token.

This set of robot blocks kicks off my new gift giving system and I love them! They will be mailed shortly to my soon to be 2 year old nephew in Portland. Although I have not seen Leo a whole lot, it’s fun to be able to imagine him since he and Penny are so close in age.

Ellie and Simon are dropping hints that they want their own sets…I may just need to make their dreams come true!

I found great inspiration in these cool guys at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago over Christmas. I think Nathan and I were more into the exhibit than the kids. We were mesmerized with these creatures and took loads of shots. I’m glad I did!
