Today we spent the day at the Richardson's house. We spend a lot of time with them, as you can tell. L and Anna are as different as night and day but really enjoy playing together. Lainey talks about Ms Rhondalyn, Mr Nathan, Anna and Baby Naomi all the time. Rhondalyn and I quickly found a very easy friendship in each other sharing common interests, hobbies, and beliefs. We are very patient with our children together as they learn to share, be kind, and interact WELL with other children. It's a work in progress, but we've stopped apologizing for our children's (sometimes bad) behavior and have decided to team up and learn how to work through this together. God is so good to provide such wonderful friends for L and I (and D, because we like Nathan too!!).
So today at the Richardson's we spent time outside, read books, played with baby dolls, had lunch together, and made puzzles. It was a very fun day for all of us. Here are our puzzles. I forgot my camera, so I ended up taking pictures of it once we got home.
Supplies: Picture, Popsicle sticks, mod podge, paint brush for the MP, marker, and x-acto knife.
Cut out a picture or use a photo. Line up the Popsicle sticks and mod podge the picture to the sticks. 
We took a marker add a few extra learning aspects to their puzzles (ABC's, 123's). After it dries, take the x-acto knife and slice the sticks apart.
Ta-Da!!! You got a puzzle. These can be made 100 different ways. They're cheap to make, easy to carry, and great for taking to restaurants or other places to entertain kids.
