Car Shirt

Mommy created a car track out of Sharpie Markers and Daddy's old shirt!

Mommy even added a fire station!

Daddy liked the shirt too because
he got a mini massage!




I love car tracks!
Daddy was getting rid of some old T shirts so Mommy decided to get creative and draw a car track on the back of one. She saw a similar idea on Pinterest that used paint, but she decided to use Sharpie markers instead. Not only did I get a new race track but Daddy got a mini massage!!

Moon Sand AKA Cloud Dough

Moon Sand
( the stuff at hands on museums)
It feels like flour when you run your hands
through it, but it's moldable!



Directions on how to make it are below


Word of Advice?!?!

Don't try to eat it!!!

It's a great sensory activity
I even pretended it was sand!

Directions for Moon Sand AKA Cloud Dough: Mix 4 cups flour and 1 cup of baby oil. My mommy used lavender baby oil instead, which made our hands and my feet smell wonderful!!

Balloon Birthday Wake Up Call

I woke up to streamers
outside my bedroom

and balloons

Mommy and Daddy surprised me
the morning of my birthday
with a Birthday Gauntlet!

I had so much fun running through the hallway

tackling the streamers


and then hitting and dodging the balloons
It was a great way to start off my first day as a big 2 year old!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, Daddy came over and helped me make
an egg omlette for Mommy!

Daddy also helped me fry up some bacon and then we
served Mommy breakfast in bed!


I gave her hugs

and lots of kisses!



Mommy and Me


After church we went to the park together as a family

I was fascinated by the ducks and followed them everywhere

They kept coming up to me and quacking

I wanted to jump in the water with them, but Mommy wouldn't let me

I think these ducks were in love...they wouldn't stop following each other!
I hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day
and gave your Mommy lots of loves too!!

Red Robin Birthday

Mommy and Daddy surprised me with a birthday dinner
at Red Robin and then they had the waitresses sing me
 Happy Birthday!

I was thrilled when the waitress gave me my own
mug of ice cream topped with chocolate sauce and whip cream!!

The only time I stopped smiling was to eat

boy, oh boy was it good!

I didn't go easy on the scoops either

I didn't know if my mouth was big enough for this scoop...

but it was!!!

Messy Faces

Mommy gave me black berries
and while she wasn't looking
I decided to  use them as face paint

I was pretty proud of my artwork

In this pic I was eating a chocolate cookie  in the car.
It was melting  and I had chocolate all over my hands,
so Mommy told me to lick my hands....

I listened to her.

Unfortunately
it ended up all over my face and carseat

I tried my first ice cream sandwich
I wasn't a fan, but I did enjoy smooshing it up
and making a mess.
Hug Anyone?!
