present making and broccoli

 

Just a little peek at the momma's presents.

I finished up the sewing things for my mother's day gifts yesterday. Now I gotta find some store bought stuff to go with them. Keely was being so cooperative and actually letting me sew. She was playing at the table with me and then she wanted some Raffi on to dance to. Ugh! But hey she was content and I sewed like a mad woman and then as I am almost finished my stinking machine goes all wonky on me. The stitches got all baggy and crazy looking. I did everything I could to fix it. Wasting my time and I was getting mad because I was SOOO close to finishing. I sat still and looked at the machine and realized Keely had changed ALL the settings when I had gotten up to iron something. Little stinker. Well, I fixed it and finished them up. whew.

Yesterday, Keely and I spent the morning at the beach walking. We found some interesting things: an old Leggo man, a huge bright green stalk of broccoli (what the ?), tons of ladybugs, 2 purple jellyfish,  3 floating life jackets (that can't be good), and a bald dog with just one crazy patch of white Einstein-like hair on his head.  Very odd day at the beach for sure. I did not bring my camera because I figured maybe, just maybe the poor child would like to be with just me and not have a camera following her around for a change.  I do wish I got a shot of the broccoli though.

Grelot, Clochette, Bouton

When Keely was born I got a gift certificate to Hanna Anderson. These little cuties were one of the things I bought. They came in a bright blue fabric boat/car. I thought for sure any kid would love these guys. Keely has maybe played with them once. Her daddy and I  played with them a lot! The box they came in had their sounds that they make written in french: Clochette, Grelot, Bouton (bell,rattle etc).  We decided those would be their names. "I'm Grelot. Clochette. We're Grelot and Clochette…"We had them singing, dancing and whatnot with a bad frenchy accent. Keely just looked at us like we are absolutely nuts and said, "NO!" a lot. That girl is trying to stifle our creative endeavors, man. Anywho, I was looking at them the other day and thought, "HEY! I bet I could make something like this. They don't look so hard."   Think of the possibilities…

Food sort

When you get bored playing the same thing over and over again you just gotta get a little more creative. Keely decided we would not be "eating" the food, but instead we were gonna sort them by color! It looked pretty when we were done and now she is ready for kindergarden. Ha! I don't even know if we are sending her to K yet. Such educational fun. So now get your kiddies toys together and go color sort. Buttons are fun too.
