Pasta Necklaces

We're having a rough time getting back into the swing of things (IDIOM) after being on vacation for nearly two weeks. Shane is having trouble staying at work for eight hours, I'm having trouble coming up with ways to be engaged with Caleb, and we still haven't gone back to the gym. Before we left, Shane and I were doing really well with a gym routine in which he goes in the morning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and I go in the morning on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We were holding each other accountable because if one of us missed a day, we knew it would make it harder for the other to stay on track. But now, we're waiting for the other to kick things off. Ugh!

Also, before we left, I was doing a good job with keeping Caleb busy. Of course, it didn't seem that way at the time. But for the first few days of this week, I felt like I had lost all motivation, which made my "routine" before vacation seem very put together. So, finally today I got some inspiration to do something new and fun with Caleb. I got the idea from Make and Takes.

They were so easy to make! I think they could have been more interesting if we had used different shapes, but I only had penne rigate.

Holy Cow! Caleb is growing like a Weed! We love the necklace he made. I like all the colors. I know it is hard to try and get back into a routine once you break it for a while. You will get back into it soon, it just takes time. That is great that you and Shane have been going to the gym, one of you just needs to flip a coin and go back. Like I should talk! HAHA!
At least you have the internet to find ideas of fun things to do.
