Countdown to Daddy

Now that we're right around 30 days until Scott comes home, it was time to make a paper chain. Last time we did that, attention spans were not great, nor were coordination skills, so it was more work for Mommy & Aunt Sarah than the boys. THIS time was a whole different matter, thank goodness! William was in charge of the cutting:

He patiently cut each strip that I'd marked out & even swapped colors according to what he knew was coming next! It was a very professional job if I do say so myself ;)

And, Daniel was in charge of the taping of the links that William cut. He was so proud to use his tape!

Here is Daniel showing off some of their early work:

And, the boys showing off the finished product (please excuse the mess behind them--C-man had been entertaining himself while we created our project!):

Hung up and looking shortly pitiful, thank goodness--means Daddy is close to being home!!!!

And, Colin just being cute while all the creating was going on:

This coming Saturday (Sept 4th) is 3 weeks until Scott's tour of duty is up. Then, it's just a matter of his finding room on a plane & getting back over here. Our fingers are crossed that it is sooner rather than later!!!!
