Deployment Countdown

Today marks one month since Daddy deployed!!!

We are ecstatic and are going out for ice cream to celebrate our accomplishment.

I think its so important to do something with your

kids to help countdown a deployment. 

 

This time, I made an ice cream cone with six scoops for the six

months Daddy will be away. For every month we will remove

a scoop and go out for ice cream!

Last year we colored a pizza and had a pizza party every month.

 

I also love the idea of giving the kids a "Kiss From Daddy" every day.

When the jar is gone, Daddy will be home!

This countdown I found at Etsy is adorable!!

For myself, I keep the DoingTime app on my phone.

I like the visual of the pie chart.

Here's to the New Year and many Daddies returning home!
