Telling the kids

We're going down to NC next weekend and I'd like to tell the kids about the new baby.  I have no creativity and all I can think of is getting them a big brother/sister shirt.  Then take a picture to put on FB in a few more weeks.  Any other ideas?  I know Ryan won't care, but Lilly will be excited.

After we tell the kids, Jeff's telling their mom... Just waiting for the drama that brings.

Re: Telling the kids

  • I have no ideas but I'm sending lots of happy thoughts and prayers that the ex doesn't hop on the crazy train when she finds out. You don't need that.

    Haha thanks!  Jeff has already warned me he thinks she'll do something.  You know, because I have her life.

    ditto! and i'm so excited for you to tell Lily!
  • Only other idea I can think of is giving them a #1, #2, and then you holding #3. Good luck with telling the crazy ex wife!

  • I know Ex is crazy with pictures, but what about an empty photo album with a note saying they can fill it with pictures of new brother or sister. Or giving them pink and blue balloons. They could pop them to find the note inside.

     

  • I like the balloons. Maybe a word in each balloon and make Lily put it all together. OR, you could make the message into a puzzle and make them put it together.

    LOVE the added literacy element!

    Good luck with crazypants...
