We got to open ended art a little late this week. I put out a bag of feathers, air drying clay, clay tools, and wiggly eyes.  First he said “With feathers I can make Kevin!” (from the movie “Up”) but that quickly became generic feathered friends once he realized how hard Kevin would be 😉 […]
Yesterday’s bento that just didn’t make it to be uploaded. Mom was in town the last couple days and I spent most of my “free” time at Kidlet’s school, volunteering in the classroom instead of sitting in front of the computer. Friday’s are music class day, so that sparked the little bit I did with […]
Melissa and Doug are giving away a play kitchen! Details on thier blog.
One of those mornings where everything goes wrong, everything happens at once, and I was happy to get ANY lunch out the door, even one this ugly! Ham and cheese flower sandwiches, babybel cheese, carrots, forelle pear, mini banana, raspberries, carrots and a small japanese pastry thingy from the asian market. Time taken: 5 minutes
 Week 11 – Daisy Martinez This week’s Food Network Chef Cooking Challenge features Daisy Martinez. Although fairly new to food network, she also has a PBS show, and her own website. Her own personal site had a lot more recipe choices than the Food Network listing. Still, I ended up choosing my recipe from a Food […]

He loves to make silly faces for the camera! I don’t let her sleep on soft things like that when I’m not there. She just won’t nap on her back, at all!
I did not stick well to my plan last week. I ended up not getting my shopping all done for the things we needed. But on the plus side, I didn’t actually shop for anything that wasn’t on the plan either. We had pizza one night (mom was in town), and went out one night […]
The morning “preschool” hours on Disney channel contain no normal commercials. They have ads for thier own shows, and small (usually educational) shorts to fill the space at the end of programs until the next hour. A few years ago, they aired a series called “This is Daniel Cook“. Daniel is a cute little red head […]
