We cheated a little bit. Since Ethan is in the hospital until Friday, I let the littles open four days of Advent surprises yesterday. They all agreed that they wanted to do it together, and I was so happy that they made that decision.
Today’s clue was:
“Rub-a-dub-dub, get nice and clean…Because Christmas is closer than it might seem.”
And, they opened up a bucket full of soap, shampoo, and bubble bath.
When I was thinking of Advent treats, crafts, and surprises, I wanted to do things that were simple and fun but also practical, things that we need and/or use every day anyway. We can never have enough bubbles, shampoo, and soap. They loved it and immediately wanted to take a bath with their new supplies.
And, I loved all of the smiles.
Did I miss a post? Why is your sweet Ethan in the hospital until Friday? I do hope all is well.
Sorry about that! I just now posted an update on Facebook. We are in the hospital for the 48 hour EEG, and then we should be finished with all of the testing and ready to enjoy the holidays. Yippee!!
