Toddler Art

We were in Target the other day over in the cosmetics section so I decided to let the big girls pick out some nail polish. You know...the cheap .84 cent kind :) When they got home, SuSu painted her nails and Vi's nails. So...I'm guessing, Violet thought it was okay to play with the nail polish. Susanna left her bottle within reach and Violet "painted" their sink. She didn't pain anything else - Just the sink. When I brought her in there to ask what she had done she showed me how she got the polish out and started flicking it around in the sink to see the pain splatter. She said, "It's funny????" I had to explain that, no, it was not funny. I had to give her some grace because I had never explained to her that she was not allowed to play with the nail polish. So, now she knows. She can't touch it. This stuff was DRIED ON by the time I found it. Thank goodness, some nail polish remover got it right off!!

Welcome Spring

I finally opened up my boxes of Easter/Spring decorations this year. I know it isn't technically Spring yet, but with Easter coming so early this year I thought I had better go ahead and get started!! (I prefer Easter being in mid to late April, personally!) Anyway...I didn't quite decorate as much as I did last year. It has just been so cool and rainy and it is too early to plant any flowers...so I do not have a full blown case of Spring Fever just yet. But I did know that I was tired of looking at my snowflakes and pine cones! :)

I do love Spring. I am very excited for the warmer weather and the Spring blooms....not to mention Spring thunderstorms! The Bradford Pears should be blooming in about a week or so. The Bradford Pear blooms remind me of my momma. Forsythia blooms remind me of my Grandma. (She had the prettiest forsythia bush in her backyard when I was growing up. I remember she and my parents always making such a big deal about it every Spring and I didn't quite understand why. Now I do. It is beautiful!) My sweet husband bought me 2 forsythia bushes last year and planted them in the front yard. Then we had the hottest summer EVER with temps up to 113 for many days!!! They didn't make it :( So...I had to go to Hobby Lobby for my forsythia this year!

Here are some of my decorations this year...
