Fun things to remember to do for next deployment

My friend Cristie Jo is so crafty. She has two boys. A few years older than lily, she decided to make the best of the deployment and her very inquisitive boys. Posting this so I can remember to do this when lil gets older and starts asking more questions....

The chain is to help count down the days left... And she said if the deployment gets extended she will add more at night when the boys are sleeping.... Lets hope they come home as scheduled! 

She used her cutter tool thingie to cut out a mini carrier to move around the map. She attached magnets to the back of the map and carrier so the boys can move it around when they here news of where the ship is or headed too.
