the evolving blog

Well, since you all are so nice and encouraging about the posting of the kiddie stuff, I am going to keep posting some of it-not every day mind you. I've mentioned to several people that the blog evolves. I started this blog with the intention of being all super crafty. That ain't going to happen. I've accepted that. I really only like to craft things that I have a need for and/or for gifts. Occassionaly, I like to try something just because it looks neat. I always am hesitant to post too much mommy & me stuff because I feel like I've mislead some people. The ones who put me in their links under "crafty" or "inspirational".  I think that is really nice and flattering. Thank you to those people.  It does make me feel a little guilty when I go weeks without making something though.  So, right now this is more of a mommy blog I guess. Life evolves, I evolve, the blog evolves. It's all good. I'm trying to do a little more photography to fill my artistic needs, since that is something I can do with Keely, wherever we are.  Anywho. Yesterday we did this little activity, among other things.

She has this spastic colored letter rug in her room. It is not to my decorating taste, but it really useful and we have some good games we play with it.  For this exciting, fast-paced, action-packed game, we go on a hunt around the house trying to find things that start with each of the letters. We don't keep very much off limits and you have to RUN to find the objects. It makes for quite a few messes as she dumps out buckets of toys, searching for the Panda bears to go on the letter P and digging through our pantry to find Noodles for N, but it's entertaining and eats up a good chunk of time.  My favorite here is the cup of Water on W and then later she couldn't find anything for Y, she wanted a yo-yo and couldn't find one, so she said, "Yucky, Yucky starts with Y! Trash is yucky!" She ran off and got a crumbled up piece of paper (thankfully, it was clean trash). Mommy always has to stand on M too.  She put a photo of herself on K. cute.
