True story about brushing teeth
I was sending my five-year-old to the bathroom to brush his teeth. I left to pick up a rinse cup from the kitchen. As I was returning to the bathroom I started singing," If your happy and you know it brush your teeth", proceeding with , "But not with that!" He was trying to put cortisone cream on his toothbrush.
This was quickly followed by my husband singing a repeated chorus of it while laughing his butt off.

Weekly craft idea
Find some old shoe boxes and leftover gift wrap. Wrap up the empty boxes and use them as large stacking blocks for small kids. For older kids decorate the boxes into vehicles or buildings to make your own special town.
