The other day Lily had both her new pink (Jill) and purple (Beridian, don’t ask, I have no clue, I just go with it) babies in her arms. She handed me Jill and told me that I had to help calm her down, because she was busy calming Beridian down. I asked why the babies were so upset. Lily replied “They spent too much time in their baby cages“. Of course I replied “Baby cages?” while patting Jill’s back. Lil took me around to her toy storage shelf and put the babies back in their cages to show me.

I think you can tell that Lily didn’t spend much time at all in a crib.

This is not a bad way to shop.

~~I am going to try a new thing and add a few things that Lil has done lately to my random mobile posts. Like this week she has started telling me that I’m not her friend anymore if I tell her something she doesn’t like. Darn Clifford the Big Red Dog, she got this friend thing from an episode with T-bone and Cleo having a fight over a bone.

I grew some strawberries. YAY!

But most of my broccoli has gone to seed. 🙁

~~Lily will randomly come up to me and tell me in a voice just above a whisper ‘I love you so much Mama’ and then proceed to hug and kiss me till I’m almost blue in the face. It’s what having a kids all about, I’m pretty darn sure.

We went to the zoo (again!).

Lil was fine with getting her face painted, until it was actually painted. Then she kept telling us to take it off.

I was finally able to wash it off at lunch and she looked at herself in the restaurant mirror and said “I’m beautiful again”.

We were waiting for our breakfast and Lil snuggles into Waldo and said “Mama you say ‘how cute’ and then take our picture”. Of course I complied.

I found this on Pinterest one morning last week went right out and made it for Lil.

It really couldn’t have been easier to put together. I had everything in the kitchen or craft closet so it cost me nothing to make which means it’s either a guaranteed failure or the best thing to ever happen. ever!

Fizzy Sidewalk paint:

About 8 big spoonfuls of baking soda

1/2 cup of cornstarch

Warm (almost hot) Water

Food coloring

Mix the dry ingredients and then add water stirring until its not too thick. I probably used about a cup, but I am not 100% sure. Once I separated it into the muffin tins, I used Wilton pastel food gels for the colors. This was so much fun. It comes with pink, yellow, blue and green so I got to show Lil how mixing colors makes new colors. We have pretty much perfected orange and purple at this point.

This paint dries very quickly – but washes off fairly easily. However the darker colors did stain the driveway a bit, but now even that has faded.

The blog I got the recipe from called for a container of baking soda, but I buy huge bags of baking soda from Costco so I just guessed at the amount. Next time I make this I will use more baking soda because there wasn’t nearly as much fizzing as I would have liked.

The fizzing came from vinegar in a spray bottle. Lil loves spray bottles so this was hands down the best thing in the world. Mom letting her just go free with a spray bottle and not a cat in sight to get in the way. YAY!

I gave this a 6 out of 10 crayon rating because of my bad proportions. I’m pretty sure Lil would give this a 8 rating; which YAY! We’ll try again with more baking soda.

*I don’t have an explanation for the helmet. It’s just part of her daily uniform lately. Whatever floats your boat kid.

We went to World Market last weekend to look for spice jars and Lil wanted to take some pictures. I handed her my phone and reminded her to be careful. This is a small sampling of what I found on my phone after I got it back.

At one point I realized it looks like she was just taking a bunch of pictures of the floor and asked her what she was doing. She replied ‘I want to take pictures of our feet’, ‘well then I guess proceed’.

This last one I took at home that night. We bought these cookies because I LOVE wafer cookies and had made it my mission to taste all of them that the world had to offer. After these cookies I think I need to rethink my life goals. They were terrible, actually terrible isn’t strong enough, hideous, revolting, sickening. I think you get the picture. I think we each ate one and than decided that they made better blog/forum fodder then food and tossed them after the picture was taken.

This is Lily’s dog Gracie. I was in the other room and Lil ran in and said ‘come see what I forced on Gracie’. This is what I found.

Lil needed some sandles for summer. We found these at Target. She loves them so much.

I’m trying really hard-ish to learn to sew. So far I’ve made a bunch of cloth baby wipes. The other day I ventured way out and made some cloth cleaning wipes, like paper towel replacements.

Last week I painted Lily’s fingers and toes for the first time. I’m pretty sure this is the coolest thing to ever happen to her.
