Aunt Jana Got Us Some Cool Gifts

Jana went to DC over spring break and came back with presents! She got Caden this amazing book entitled, "600 Black Spots". It is a really cool pop up book with lots of spots on each page...Caden loves it!
She got Carter a great puzzle of the painting Starry Night by Van Gogh, he loved it too! He is right in the middle of that puzzle phase the Reid boys seem to go through so it was perfect!

I love that my sister exposes them to art and culture and reminds us to do so! Great gifts Jana - you are the best! Cole didn't get anything, but really in the end the best thing...play time and loving from Aunt Jana!

The other part of the gifts...while Jana and I were at Wal-mart we saw this 3-D chalk...she was smart enough to get them a package with 2 pairs of the 3-D glasses...way to go! We had a blast with it this morning!

Momma and Carter modeling the glasses!
Caden decided to ride his car and draw at the same time - what a multi-tasker!
Of course...monkey see, monkey do! Momma showing off her art work! I had so much fun with this!
Caden had to have a hopscotch thing - what do you call it, a board, game, who knows. Anyway, I apparently drew it wrong the first time so I had to draw another one! He is obsessed with this game!
Pops got creative drawing their names and tried to make them 3-D. He started with Carter and put his whole name. I started Caden's but decided Montgomery was too long so I just wrote his first and last name :) I was getting lazy and it was too windy!
Pops is showing Carter how to draw a fish!
Caden took it up a notch and drew a boat with a fisherman inside!

Thanks Aunt Jana! The chalk kept us entertained all morning! We love it! Sorry you had to miss out...we will keep it here at Gigi and Pops' house for next time! WE LOVE YOU!!!

There are, like, 12 things I could comment on in this post, but I can't stop thinking about how

CUTE

your orange outfit is, and

HOW I NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU GOT IT SO THAT MAYBE JUST MAYBE I COULD FIND ONE FOR MYSELF!?

Seriously, it is so great...I'm so jealous!

I need something like that! You look so adorable!
