Primary Sharing Time Assignment Cards: 2016

primary sharing time assignment cards

One of the highlights of our opening exercises each Sunday is “mail time”.  We have a little mailbox (that really could use a facelift at this point actually) and in it we put the assignments for the following Sunday (you know, opening prayer, scripture, talk etc).  This year we will also be putting in scripture hero clue cards.

Each week at the end of all our opening exercises and right before we transition into singing time, we pick a child who has been reverent to be our “mailman”.  It is quite the honor, and they do not take the responsibility lightly.  … Read the rest

Second started preschool this month and I am lucky enough to be able to send him to a dear friend a few hours a week.  I am so grateful that she is teaching my little one this year- she’s amazing!  Anywho, “c” week was our week for snacks.  I saw a photo floating around the internet of grape caterpillars and thought that was genius!  There was no blog post or anything that I could find to accompany it, however, so I thought I’d share how we put together & used our grape caterpillars.

Materials needed: mini chocolate chips, icing, skewers (remember when I said I order them in bulk?… Read the rest

Rescue Bots Cupcake Toppers

Are your kids as obsessed with Rescue Bots as mine are?  Boy howdy I think I was actually more excited than they were when the third season was put on Netflix- finally something new to hear in the background!!  Second is turning 4 this week and I kept asking him what he wanted for his birthday, and every time I got the same response: cupcakes.  Well, that sounded just perfect to me.  The key to success is low expectations, right??  Since his request was so simple I decided we should jazz up the cupcakes a bit.  And since cake decorating isn’t my thing, I opted for these rescue bots cupcake toppers.  … Read the rest

We thrive on structure around here.  With three little munchkins running around and a bunch of different schedules to keep, structure is what I CLING to for survival.  I hope there are some others out there like me?? Or am I the lone OCD Mom? When Oldest started TK last year (transitional kindergarten…its a California thing) it was QUITE the “transition” (pun-intended) for our little family.  Because I send him to a school out of our district, he can’t take the bus.  Which can make for some complicated maneuvering of nap times for Youngest!  And I still remember the first day he was gone at school Second was wandering around the house looking for him (under beds, in closets, in the garage) ALL day.… Read the rest
