Fun at Clean up Time

As other mommies will know, with little (and I'm sure big) ones, clean up time ends up being less clean up time and more "ARGH!" time :) 

Today I did my cleaning and Baby was left with her stuff, it is her responsibility to put her stuff away. 

 Today she was most original with her angry declorations :

• "I wish you were in jail!"

• "I wish daddy was home! he doesn't make me do this! HE'D put you in jail!"

• "if your nice I'll let you zip my jacket"

• "if you help me clean up, I'll let you zip my jacket. Thats what families are for.

I love being a mommy :)  

LOTS OF CRAFTS!!!!

So Jessica's all
"YAY BLOGGING!!"

Then she stops for a week and a half... :)

BUT I HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE!

I was getting crazy crafty :) So with every free second I was doing that instead....

But now I'm sharing it with you!

First crafty :

So I made Baby that guitar right? and she was all "I LOVE IT!" 

Then she started pretending that it was a violin...

And then Jessica got a crafty little bee in her bonnet...

So Jessica went from this :

TO THIS!!!

YEAH BUDDY! 

Sorry...when I know I done good I tend to be proud of myself :)

An I made a Violin! I think I made it backwards though...I think the chin thingy is s'pose to go on the other side and that it's s'pose to be held by the other hand...

Violining friends : am I right??

But by awesome randomness, the straw bow actually makes Violin sounds on the "strings" :)

Second crafty actually comes in three parts:

First you must know, that the nursery in my ward had a...missunderstanding :) and we lost all of our nursery stuff *sad face* So I decided to make some new stuff :)

Uno:

Well...uno I don't have a picture of...

I made a parachute blanket :)

kinda hard to take a picture of...

Dos and Tres :

BLANKETS!!!

At this point I say

THANK YOU MOMMY!!! 

She gave me the sewing machine that helped me make these so thank you mommy!

*Happy Sigh*
And there you have it:)

A VERY good crafty week :)

A Jessica Play Date!!!

Incase you wondered- 

MY HUSBAND IS AMAZING!!!

He let me have a play date with my paint and my glue gun while he watched the kids :) isn't he just SUPER!?!?

So I got a painting out of my day :)

AND

with the help of my beloved glue gun and box cutter

*and a crap load of packing tape*

 Baby got a.......

 GUITAR!!!

 Thats right, Jessica gets board and her children end up with musical instruments:)

I still need to make it colorfull...But I am very much liking it :) as is Baby:) she's been wanting a Yukalele for a long while, but SHOOT. You know how much those things cost? I'll give you a hint : TOO MUCH!!! And she'll prolly get just as much out of this as she would a real one:)

Any way:)

Another look into my day:)

Hungry Games and Bordom

As some might know at our house we have a - slightly sadistic - thing we do :)

I've lovingly called it 

The Hungry Games!!!

The Hungry Games is when we find bugs in our house, We put them in a jar. And we don't just stopped there. Ok, sometimes it stops there (joy's of living in an apartment, not a lot of bugs:)) becuase we lack in bugs. But then when we get lucky we find more bugs. Then we put them in the same jar, and we see who servives :)

Yes Cruel. BUT informative:) for instance. I found that bettles bleed blue. And  spiders are scared of the common household centapede:)

Todays Games :

The Bed bug and the Weavel :)

and go figure 

The Weavel came out victorious!

I was a little surprised:) 

Given I'm pretty sure the bed bug might've already been dead...

But still:)

and for bordom and Jessica's random immagination:) I give you 

Baby's Elephant mask

 I had to put an extension layer in her easter dress (4T my eye), used  an old shirt that was just headed to DI any who and I realized the sleeve looked like a trunk:) 

So, Yeah, I'm awesome :) 

and yes, Baby is dressing herself :)

There you go, a look into my daily life:)

VIVA LA BELLY!

( I know some might not like this post, but please keep negativity to yourself :) )
I found this ages ago and just recently found it again.

It's called the Real Girl Belly Project

Real Girl Belly Project

And I love it:)

You constantly sees girls on bilboards with their photoshopped flat bellies glissening in the soft glow of tanning lights. 

What we really need to see is the beauty in real girl bellies!

So I give you my belly :

Much harder not to suck in when generally one is constantly flexing :)

• My fabulous belly carried two beautiful babies, it contains healthy innards that hold my favorite foods :)

(bread, ice cream, baby carrots, bread, cellary with ranch, fruit snacks, bread, soup, hot pockets, candy, bread...)

• It's bigger than I like, but I'm becoming ok with it. 

• I like my tiger stripes :) took me a long while to like them, but now I love how they feel :) 

• I love that when I lay down (picture 2) it's goes *voomp* (that was a sound to simulate it sucking itself in and disapearing), it's like it does it's own magic trick :) 

• And I won't lie I love how it's squishy :) baby likes to poke it while I'm laying down and watch it wave:)

Go team me and my amazing belly!

Check out the Real Girl Belly Project and read some more amazing stories:)
