A sweet friend I knew in South Dakota gave me this fabulous idea for a countdown to baby for the older three. I couldn't wait to do it. And the kids are so excited too, of course. Each of them gets their own bottle filled with the same number of Jelly Bellies that I have left to go till my due date...76 days from now to be exact. I used pink, yellow, and blue since we don't know the gender.
I found the perfect scalloped tags at Micheal's in baby colors and used my hand carved stamps I made at Christmas time to label them. I also used some baker's twine in baby colors to tie the tags on.
Everyday after lunch they can have their one-jelly-bean dessert and see the bottle get more and more empty!! Such a fun idea! Love having creative friends :)
PS: the extra jelly beans are hidden ;)

That is SUCH a fun idea! I'll have to remember it if we have any more. :)
Oh how sweet. I am actually thinking about going out and buying some jellybeans now based purely on this post. And then eating every single one in the car on the ride home:)
So cute I have not seen a bottle in such a long time cute.
This is very sweet!
