A Self Portrait by Addie

Choir at church

Addie is in the 2 year old choir at church. Her teacher is Miss Teri and she is amazing. We have gone for 3 weeks and I hear Adelynn singing the songs throughout the week. I love choir because it's fun for me and Addie to do together. Craig loves choir because is FREE!

The class sits in a circle, but Addie sits in the middle ;)

Each kid gets a puppet for the Noah song and Old MacDonald.

Blogs for SAHM

I thought I'd share some of the websites I enjoy as a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM)

I've mentioned to some of my friends about a blog that I love to read Muffin Tin MOM She has some great ideas and links to other great sites.

Another blog I enjoy is I can teach my child. She overloads you with ideas to do with your child. The blogger was a kindergarten teacher so she has lots of theme week lessons. For example last week was all about dinosaurs.

The last blog I will talk about today is money saving mom . It's a great resource if you use coupons! I've saved tons at CVS! In fact on my last trip I got $45 worth of items for $3.72. I was super excited.

Asher's first trip to the zoo

The weather was beautiful this weekend so it was time to head to the zoo. We haven't been in months due to the 100 degree heat and a new baby. When I told Adelynn that we were going to the zoo she was super excited!

Colored Pasta

Addie and I made colored pasta yesterday.

1/2 cup rubbing alcohol

food coloring

Mix the rubbing alcohol & food coloring in a bowl or cup. Put the pasta in the cups until the desire color is reached (15-30 minutes or longer if there is no toddler around). Take pasta out and let dry on news paper.

easy recipe! 

But remember don't eat this pasta :)

First we dyed the pasta

Adelynn's first day of Mother's Day Out

Mom this is a video click the triangle 

Addie picked out her dress.....she was a little over dressed

Addie was so excited for school that we left 30 minutes early, I couldn't handle her asking me every 3 seconds if it was time to go. We drove around Dallas, stopped for coffee at Starbucks and arrived at school 5 minutes early.
We took Addie's stuff- princess sleeping bag, lunch box, and princess backpack- to her class. There were no students or teachers. I was a little confused, but then a mom walked by and told us to find our child's name and put their stuff under it and then take your child to the playground.

 I made Addie stand by her name and take a picture.

We went outside to meet Addie's teacher miss Amy. She introduced herself to her teacher and then 2 seconds later she was playing. I said goodbye, but she was too busy playing to notice.

Addie told me she loves school and that she had fun..

 I asked her if she took a nap and she said "hush babies sleeping!"

 Thats all I really got out her about the day. Her teacher said she did great but she stole the other kids cups during lunch.
