Artsy Fartsy

By
One of the best parts of the summer (so far) has been having time to do some fun arts and crafts with Leah. This project from the other day was a smashing success, and will surely be repeated.

Step 1: Cover table in some leftover bubble wrap.

Step 2: Paint all over the bubble tape. (Ok, and smush some bubbles just for fun.)

Step 3: Gently press some cardstock onto the paper. Or smash it. Either one works.

Step 4: Show off your work to your adoring fans.

Step 5: Clean up the huge mess that was made during the project...

Step 6: Let dry, and use as stationary!

p.s. Leah put her own headband on, and rocked the Richard Simmons look alllll morning. Cute, huh? :)

hah - Actually I don't think she does have striped shorts as she refuses to wear anything but dresses most days. Some days I can get her in a skirt. :)

These three are going to have lots of fun together! (And probably cause a decent amount of trouble! )

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
