a mini K conversation...

So, as K was sitting on her potty the other day we had a little conversation...

K: mommy going to push the baby out now.

Me: No, not yet, she needs to get bigger first.

K: it's gonna hurt you.

Me: {resistitng the urge to bust out laughing} yeah, it might hurt a bit {laugh...lots}

thanks child.

Crayon Rolls-Service Project

Tatertots & Jello had posted on FB that a reader needed 145 crayon rolls for children in Haiti (makes me wonder if there is a connection there to Brandon and Jess who will be going to Haiti in about 9 days.....hmmmmm.) I have been wanting to make one for miss k for a while so I told her I would make some too! I need to mail these out....i've been sick so things have been hay-wire around here.

Here is the end result:

i had this fat quarter bundles that i got from joanns or something.

i used this tutorial from prudent baby and it was really easy!

only took two nap times to finish all four of them, lol. gotta love naptime!!

It would have been faster but i was doing other things as well.

this is the inside

then with the crayons in it.

Did you notice what i did wrong?? lol...

well.....on the blue one.....i ironed on the interfacing onto the wrong side (the good side not the inside part) of the fabric! hahaha. oh well. that would be k's she won't care. it doesn't look that bad. but....then....i also sewed the lines on that one wrong in about 2 spots (so 2 of the pockets are smaller, 2 are bigger). hahaha. oh well. crayons still fit, it still looks cool. and to my 2 year old.....she doesn't know the difference. she doesn't even like it! she takes all the caryons out of it and gives me the roll back. weirdo. then she can't put them back in. maybe she will appreciate it more when she is 3. or maybe when we think she isn't color blind. seriously. we think she is color blind. she is soooo smart and still can't do the whole color thing. it's a constant battle. we will keep on trying for a little while, i'm sure she will get it eventually.

Pre-nap May 11

it was a nice day out finally....so we went on a walk and to the park in our neighborhood

a trip down the slide

she kept cheezing for me the whole time...

finally i got a different face from her.

she loves to jump and jump

saying hello into the "telephone" thingy. sometimes she acts like it's a shower.

i love how she swings from the bar above the slide.

this is where she found a bug on the slide....then wouldn't go down it. she backed away...all the way down the stairs. lol.

then she went to sit and talk about the bug on the slide.

we left after that....not much else to do when the slide is filled with bugs.

crazy girl.

i love that i can bust out the flip flops!!

we need more days like this....consistent ones. not 1 nice day. 3 not so nice days.

it has really only gotten up to about 80. if we are lucky. then it rains and is cold and windy. weird.

and not so fun when you have a restless 2 year old who just wants to be outside 24/7.
