Wordless Wednesday


Early Morning

For the last few days Talia has started "waking herself up" and sneaking into my room after Kyle leaves for work. I've been so tired that I have been having her climb into bed with me so I can have a few more mintues of precious sleep. She has had other plans though and this morning was no exception. This is a little of the conversation that she tried to start.
Tal: "Mom, are you awake? Do you want to play?"
Mom: "Hhhh....shhh...Tal go back to sleep."
Tal: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mom: "Trying to sleep a little longer."
Tal: "Mom, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Mom: "If you are thinking about sleep..then yes, I'm thinking what you are thinking."
Tal: "No, Mom I'm thinking about Strawberry Shortcake"
I should have known.
Hey, Amber & Heather does this wake up conversation remind you of anything?

Just cause...

Etsy: Handmade Goodies

I've been peeking at Etsy online for several months but have never actually bought anything before. That changed this week when I stumbled upon Palmetto Handmade. I fell in love with the verse purses and decided to get the alphabet one for Talia. It got shipped this morning and I'm so excited that it will be here soon. I have never sewn before but seeing all the homemade items on the site makes me want to take up a new hobby.

Our new favorite thing~Alphabet BINGO

A small peek at one of our BINGO cards.
Talia's "Roydorky" face~

I'll have to post about who Roydorky is later!

BINGO!!!

As a part of our new preschool/homeschool routine we have been playing Alphabet BINGO! I have Talia tell me the letter name and sound before she gets to put the maker on her square and since the set I bought came with 36 cards we can spend a lot of time playing. Tal has already perfected her BINGO shout!

My blog in a bottle?

Stumbled upon this site today called Wordle were you can enter a web address and it makes word art. Here's the art from my blog.

Flashback Friday 2

Tal started soccer last Friday complete with pink shin guards and cleats she helped pick out. Tonight is practice #2 & her first game is tomorrow morning (which I'll have to miss :( ). Pretty cute to watch 3 & 4 year olds run around learning how to play. Tal is still practicing not picking the ball up and not trying to chase and talk to her friends including a little boy on her team that she thinks is Spiderman (he had a Spiderman T-shirt on last week at practice so she kept asking him why he was Spiderman and letting him know that she was Strawberry Shortcake).

Haircut

My moment of spontaneity this week proved to be a mistake. The second my hairdresser started cutting I knew that I shouldn't have done it...too late now. I'd post a picture but I don't have one just yet...let's just say that I can't put my hair into a ponytail. It's slowly starting to grow on me and on the plus side it's a lot easier to get ready in the morning. Oh well, it will grow back!

Wordless Wednesday

Seems like I've only been posting on Wednesdays lately. I'm going to try to get back into a blogging routine but for now you'll just have to settle for more kid pics.
