Stowaway

This ugly little bugger latched on to me from the porch. I thought it was weird he disappeared so fast. A few minutes after sitting on the floor with K, I spotted him crawling off me and trying to hide. Ick!

Ready to go ride her bike!

 

Apple Sauce Making

K and Daddy work hard making Applesauce.

Painting Acorns

Katelyn collected these from the park, and we decided to use them for a math game...but first, an art lesson.

HI-HO - Cherrio!

Who knew a bamboo skewer, a little play dough, and stale Cherrios could be so much fun? ...

(Apparently, some mommy blogger, because I stole it.)

Chris has been busy in the Garden and the Kitchen

(Ok, I made these.)

But Chris picked the tomatoes that he's been tending too for months now.

And here are all the tomatoes reducing down to Marinara sauce.

(We've already ate some, and it was GOOOOD!)

Working Hard

I bought K this little peg board game for a $1. She is really fast at putting the pegs in and out.

"I do it, Mommy!'

Katelyn does everything on her own now.

Her daily chore is getting the mail, but she enjoys filling the laundry machine, too.

Cool Girl

The Artist Paints Again...

With Broccoli? Yes!

Park Play

We couldn't pass up the beautiful day. Here K is playing American Ninja Warrior. She was swinging so hard on this bar I thought for sure she was going to swing right over the slide.

Goooooooing up!

We made sensory bins with some new friends, and this is the puddle we made cleaning all of our toys.

Thanks, Calliou. Yes, she learned this from an episode of C...and she was saying ribbet, ribbet because he wears frog rain boots, too. I had to strip her down to her diaper to get home.

Dinner and Dessert

Mommy made the Chicken Parm (over spaghetti with broc), Daddy and K sliced the dessert.

Broccoli and Cheese Soup, anyone?

Mmm...K enjoys a big bowl of it.

Transfer Activity

She likes using the baster to pull water from bowl and squeeze it into another.

(She's just showing off here, she really has to use two hands.)

Disney on Ice

Waving at Mickey Mouse.

Trying to share her sucker with mommy.

She couldn't take her eyes away from the show. It was great.

The flowers wanted to get wet, too.

(And they really needed it, too!)

Wonderful, Colorful, Yucky...Sensory Play

We cooked a pot of spaghetti, colored it, and froze it before we left the house for swim class on Tuesday. After a short nap, lunch, and a popsicle, it was ready to go.

Staying Cool

With Slush Puppies popsicles

Smarty-Pants

Slime Time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snow Mess at-all, mommy...

 

Park Play

 

 

A busy night in the kitchen...

Making Black Bean Brownies..(Yes, BLACK BEAN BROWNIES...and they are GOOD!)

Puzzle time while the brownies bake.

And when the puzzle gets boring, bring out the ice sensory play!

Dinner before dessert...Shredded Pork and Sweet Potatoes...Yum!
