April 2009
Tatum received this lovely
wrapped gift from Andi.
The wrapping paper? Oh yeah,
that'd be wallpaper. Half the fun
of receiving gifts from Andi is
her creative wrapping.
What I want to know is...
why does she have THIS wallpaper?



Tatum and his Easter present (I know what it is!!!)




BEAN BAGS!!! And not just
any ol' bean bags.
These are 12 adorable
bean bags; each one
made from a different print.
Not only that, but they are
filled with different types of
beans to provide a tactile
experience and a developmental
component. And as if that
weren't enough, they come with
their own little basket.









This is how thoughtful and creative
Andi is: She not only makes adorable
bean bags for Tatum to play with, but
helps ME with ideas on HOW to play
with them. Plus, she encourages creativity
to develop new games with the bean bags.
Man, she's beyond cool.

  4. WOW! The talent from the Bauer family never ceases to amaze me. I am can't believe how adorable and creative. I think you need to add some price tags! You sisters are all amazing and I am glad to know you. (I haven't really met Andi - I think it is because they are afraid she will show them up...now I see why :)

  13. Best new game from Tater: tuck your shirt into your pants and see how many beanbags you can drop into your shirt through the neck.

    NOT machine washable, unless you want beans to expand.
