Unplug Your Kids: Happy

This week's Unplugged theme is HAPPY.

Mommy: Arin, what makes you happy?
Arin: Uncle Todd.
Mommy: Does Aunt Candace make you happy? (Candace was in the car with us)
Arin: No, Uncle Todd
Mommy: Does Mommy make you happy?
Arin: No, Uncle Todd makes me happy.
Mommy: Do balloons make you happy?
Arin: No, Uncle Todd.
Aunt Candace: Does ice cream make you happy?
Arin: No, Uncle Todd.
Mommy: Do slides make you happy?
Arin: No, just Uncle Todd!

I wasn't sure what to do for a 'happy' project, since she only thinks her uncle makes her happy. So we did a project in teamwork with her cousins. We made the letters H-A-P-P-Y out of their bodies.






































































Some pictures of Arin with her uncle Todd (apparently the only thing that makes her happy).

This was a good idea! I like that you have two different 'P's and didn't use the same photo twice. Uncle Todd sounds great.

It's funny what kids say! Great story though, I can relate.

The H-A-P-P-Y is so cute! you could use those for Grandparent cards or something, like "HAPPY Easter" maybe.

Everybody needs an Uncle Todd! What a great project idea! I like the idea of framing the kids in one of those long frames. That would be good memories for later... :)
