Friday night I had a few friends over for Craft Group. It was a weird night, and not many could come, but we had fun with the few that did! We made some Fake Photo Canvas'.... and one gal just came to chat. I'm always up for that!
Amy cracks me up.... this girl LOVES oatmeal. She asks for it all the time. The crazy thing is she loves it dry, yes DRY. Here she is eating it for her bed time snack. When I asked her what she wanted for a snack she said, "Do we have any oatmeal?" I said, "Yes." She replied with, "I know you said I can only have it at breakfast, but can I have some now?" I gave in. There's a good chance she won't have a heart attack any time soon!
Will is just a rugrat. We laugh at him all the time. And what surprises me most is how well he plays with you. Not like in building legos or that kind of stuff, but he actually teases you. Like here, he purposefully sat in my seat, got comfortable with his chips and when I came back to 'my' seat he just laughed, laughed, laughed. He's always stealing my spot. He loves climbing in our bed, getting on my side, pulling up the blanket and pretending he's asleep. Again- always stealing my spot. Maybe Amy did that too at 18 months, I can't remember that far back.
Will with a crayon is bad news for our walls. Amy never did that, which is why she's always had crayons in her room. But he tends to run in her room the moment she leaves, so he swipes crayons and before we know it, we have masterpieces everywhere. So I bought some magic erasers and Amy wanted to help. But then Will wanted to help too.... hey, works for me!
I tried the super cheap knock off- I think they were called Redi-Shine or something and they worked just as well as the pricier ones- so take note and save yourself a few dollars. Also, I read online that a damp sponge and baking soda works too. I tried it, and it did work well- it just takes a little more elbow grease (meaning 'hard work' Ben, you can't 'buy' elbow grease) and I was too lazy to go very far with it.
I also tried my hand at making my own liquid hand soap. It worked! I know, I know..... but I get mentally bored sometimes....
That's it for now! I got up early because I couldn't fall back asleep after Will woke up. Now maybe I'll go take a nap before everyone else starts to stir... :)

You do have some issues. Liquid soap? How did Amy ever get started on the dry oatmeal? I can't for the life of me figure out what the attraction is. I even like oatmeal but it just tastes like paper to me when dry. Maybe Will will be the next Sistine chapel painter. Love always.
ReplyDeletewhat the heck did you use to make hand soap? You get into the craziest things!!!
ReplyDeleteWill going to be an artist? He is so cute and such a tease--does he get that from his Dad? I'm glad you have two wall cleaners too!
I too can't figure out how Amy can like dry oatmeal. How did she ever even think to try it that way? Kids do the craziest things.
Love to all, Gram
