Hands and Feet Monday!

So since today is hands and feet monday, our exercise with be on our hands and feet. We also are doing a hands and feet craft! 
There are different ways to play this game, (I mean exercise) with your child :) If you have a baby that isn't very mobile or likes to sit still this is what you will do! 
Find the longest open part in your house or backyard. Sit your baby at one end and you go to the other end. Now get onto your hands and feet and crawl toward them as fast as you can (with out falling over :) ). Do this a couple times, take a break, and do it again periodically through out the day. this is a good over all exercise! Working out your abs, legs, arms, shoulders. well pretty much everything! Remember to keep your but down as if doing a push up and bring your legs out wide when crawling. your babies will laugh hysterically at you or just stare very confused like lol :)

If you have a toddler or an older child, ever multiple children have them exercise with you, and make it a RACE! Outside or indoors, find a spot long enough and GO! Your kids and you will have a blast while you get your work out in! And if you have a fast crawler let them race too! :) I promise you will feel it! :) 

Now craft time! 

This one is easy and not messy which why I like it! Trace your child's hands and feet onto paper and let them color away! You can show them their left hand/foot from their right hand/foot and show/ask them how many fingers and toes they have. Make it a learning experience too. 

 

Whats for dinner?

Tonight is bonfire night since family is in town so we are doing campfire dinner. Which is yummy, easy and very customizable! Best part is you don't need a camp fire to make them. A BBQ or oven would work just as well. :) 
All you need is some foil, your favorite veggies, and some sort of meat ( if you eat meat). 
Mine was carrots, broccoli, potatoes, cabbage, squash, onion, and some turkey meat balls I had in the freezer. 
Lay your square piece of foil down and put all your ingredients in side, add some yummy seasoning (salt, pepper, cayenne, anything you want) and fold it up into a closed pocket. then wrap it with one more layer of foil and you are good to either pop them in the oven on the grill or in the camp/bon fire :) and trust me , they are delicious!!!
