We are getting spring fever here! I want it to be spring so bad but then I realize come May we are out of here. Kansas City here we come! I am so excited to be moving to KC but I'm also heartbroken to leave such good friends here in Omaha. This week Ellie and I have been taking a few more walks. She loves to get outside and it's amazing how entertained she is out there. I took her to the playground on Thursday and it was just one soggy mud puddle. I thought...."Okay, I'll be a fun mom and let her stomp in the mud and get a little dirty, no biggie"...two minutes later she is soaking wet and covered in mud, she decided it would be nice to sit down in the dirty cold water. I had to completely strip her down diaper and all.
On Saturday Matt, Ellie, and I walked down to the gardens to see the Lego Exhibit. It was pretty cool, Ellie loved playing with the blocks. I want to get her some and I'm trying to convince Matt to make her a little Lego table for Christmas (:
So as many of you know Ellie hates baths. Crazy I know! I thought all young children loved playing in the tub but not this girl! Most of the time she whines or cries to get "down" (meaning "OUT NOW!"). I saw the idea for shaving cream painting on Pinterest awhile back and decided to give it a try. She LOVED it! The muffin tin even floats, which made me happy(:
Will definitely be doing this again!
*She did taste it but was repulsed by the nastiness and asked for "agua" and that was the end of that.
I think she may become an artist (:
Happy St. Patty's Day
We had shamrock eggs and waffles with green whip cream and sprinkles.
*Ellie only ate the whip cream.
Ellie helping me make green play dough.
*Notice how there are no pics of the actual dough, I altered the recipe and used green jello instead of green cool-aid. Not a good idea! It was slimy and sticky and I only let her squeeze it in a Ziplock bag.
Rainbow Jello in the bath. Since Ellie liked the shaving cream painting so much I thought she would like playing with left over St. Patrick's day jello. Not so, I think she didn't like how cold and sticky it was.
