The secret is...Sock-puppet fun!

The other day, the boys and I took a little trip to Barnes & Noble to pick up some (MORE) books for my never-ending MA thesis paper. After finding what I needed, I found Ernie and Malachi in the cute kid's section of the bookstore. Ernie had a puppet on his hand and was making Malachi laugh hysterically!

We really wanted to buy it but cringed at the $30 price tag!

The next day, Ernie's grandpa suggested that we make a sock puppet. Ernie grabbed a white sock and a blue sharpie and drew a little face on it. Gosh kids are so easy to entertain sometimes! Malachi loved it! He woke up laughing with us and it was such a cute memory!
