PAINTING!

I went up to get Harper out of her crib after nap time today and I asked what Mama and Harper should do this afternoon. Without hesitation her answer was "project, paint, handprints". It was like her brain kept churning - lets do a project, wait lets do a project with paint and then better yet lets make paint handprints. So how could I say no to that :) We had a fun afternoon painting and making a mess!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fun valentine bath today - hearts, hearts, more hearts and even pink water. Harper loved chasing the hearts all over the bathtub and trying to scoop them up in her cup!! She also loved sticking them to the wall -- Happy Valentine's Day!

Another snowy snowy day!!

Today we painted some valentine marble pictures which then led into handprints (Harpers idea), some cloud dough fun, and then we made blueberry muffins. And since all of this wore mommy out the last picture is Harper and Daddy reading while Mommy cooked dinner. Another fun day!!

Busy Busy Day!

Today we painted with a paper towel heart stamper, then made a tissue paper heart suncatcher, followed by a nap, then coloring in a box. It may not sound like much but it was a pretty jam packed day!!

My first Jamberry nail attempt- I think it came out pretty nice! They are basically a sticker that you put on your nail and it lasts for a full week without chipping, flaking or anything. It was supposed to last ten days, but I will take a full week! They also have lots of fun colors! I think in March I am going to have a party (they are sold just like tupperware :) )

Snow Day!

We finally got about 6 or 7 inches of snow - and then a fun layer of ice on top of it :( But it was also not a million below zero so we could head outside and actually enjoy the snow. This time we decided to bring out a spray bottle with some blue water in it and Harper loved it, we had to spray everything!! We tried making a snowman, but a mini one was all we could get to stick together. We did make him a blue house to live in as well. Then she decided she wanted to switch hats with mommy and mommy's hat was way to big for her little head. That did not stop her from wearing it even when we were back inside. She looks like my little hobo child :)

The picture above is a lovely documentation of the result of Harper vs the wall -- I have to say even with the big bruise on her forehead Harper definitely won! There is a dent in the drywall from where her head hit. That was the other night - the bruise is just really forming into a lovely color - this picture doesn't even really show all the color :)

We tried taking self portraits today -- it was an attempt that is about all I can say. We had a hard time getting things in focus and lots of time running back and forth which is out of the bathtub and then back in again. Yeah - the best winter lighting seems to be in our bathroom in the tub :)
