New Baby, No Time & Summer Ideas for the Kiddos!

May 23, 2014 by Gina | 2 Comments

My grandbaby boy # 3 has arrived!

Meet James Campbell (named after my daddy, James). We are totally in love with him. He came a little earlier than expected, but hey, what’s life without a little excitement!

BabyC

Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him” Palm 127:3

All are doing well, and we (they) are getting back to normal, or shall I say adjusting to the new normal! I told my other two boys that their lives were about to change when they get home. The addition of a new sibling is bound to rock their little rowdy worlds. There will now be a lot of “shhhh-shing”, I’m sure.

Kass & boys

My daughter who is a planner did not get to do all the things she intended to do to prepare for Campbell’s arrival. They were going to do some fun things with the boys this weekend, plus a gigantic grocery shopping trip, but now I’m probably the one whom will do that gigantic shopping trip. As for having that fun weekend, I thought I would help her come up with some fun things to do that are not only good for Memorial Day weekend, but the rest of the summer, too! These were a few of my favorite ideas from other mommy bloggers.

I hope you will enjoy them with your kids OR grandkids, too.
