Tuck and I made slime last weekend. Nothing like a little cornstarch and water to entertain a toddler… and his Momma.
I made the mistake of leaving the cup of water within reach. We had it just right for about 5 minutes and then he poured the rest of the water into the bowl and it turned into milky water. He liked the splashing just as well but it made for a bigger mess for Mommy to clean up. There is still some in the seams of the table.
I have been saving a few of these and it is time to get them documented…
Oz-mose = almost
ahs-all-ohs = marshmallows. this one took many tries and I finally had to make him take me to the cupboard.
bucks = one deer
buckses= multiple deers
“Am I boo-ful, Mommy? Will you marry when me when I get big?”
backet shoots = basketball
ehz-o-wit = elephant
kaw=see = coffee
And no he doesn’t still have a plug; he only torments Kora by stealing it.
Papaw made the kids a play kitchen this winter. Nanny got them some pots and pans and a tea set but alas they had nothing to prepare on them. I found plastic food but I knew Tuck would be hitting Kora over the head with it so this, I think, is going to be so much better.
This set is actually for a friend’s little girl’s second birthday tomorrow but I have a match set for T and K.
Here is the makings for the sandwich.
Here it is packaged for gift giving.
And you can’t have a sandwich without a cookie for dessert. These are light brown on the back. The idea is that they will be light side up as you cut them and put them in the oven and then flip them over to the “baked” and decorated side when they are done.
And here is breakfast. The eggs are my favorite to make. And the sausage is only mildly offensive. I may switch to patties.
And these are Tucker’s lunch favorite-quesadillas complete with cheese oozing out. These were the fastest since I used the sewing machine. All the others are hand stitched but only take 15-20 minutes to finish.
I have plans for pitas/tortillas, pancakes, pickles, bowtie pasta, raviolis, pirogues, crackers, more cookies and maybe a cupcake. I am ate up with this felt food and TJ just laughs when I present him with another course. I hope the kids enjoy it as much as I have.
This is Kora’s grumpy face.
aka The Stink Eye.
It comes out more often lately.
She has Papaw scared.
I have been crafting this weekend. I found these placemats for $.75 and was inspired by a crafty blog site I have been following. So this…
Became this…
Isn’t it just the cutest? I bought two placemats so this is my trial one for Kora to use as a shopping bag, or the hat that she insists upon right now. The other one I will give to a friend’s little girl for her birthday next weekend. I plan to fill it with my other craft project I have been working on. That will be another post. Keep a look out, It’s a good one.
We went to visit Nanny. She just loves to see the kids, and me too. It took Kora a little bit to get warmed up to her but in no time at all they were fast friends again. (It’s a 15 month old phase)
This is one of my favorite pictures.
Kora was just intrigued by Nanny and her magic trick of balancing the block letters. She loved knocking them down so she could do it again. Nanny also showed Tuck how to line up dominoes and tumble them all down.
Here Nanny is playing Puff the Magic Dragon for us. This was one of my favorites growing up. I’m pretty sure I have mentioned this in a previous post but this time I have pictures.
By the end of 3 hours I think she was beat though she would NEVER admit that. We picked up toys, I ran the vacuum, hugs and kisses all around and we headed home for naps.
Nanny also got the kids some surprises but I will show you those in another post.
Thanks Nanny Hoo Hoo for a great visit. Love you!
