And here she is with her little flower prop, "posing" her nails:
Simon was happy too
The other day we came up with a fun activity to do while Simon was napping. I had just gotten a free copy of Seventeen magazine in the mail (one of my little freebie things; I don't remember how I got it). Since I'm not too interested in learning how to kiss a guy or dress cute for school, I cut out body parts and Rose and I taped them onto paper to make silly faces.
Yesterday she wanted to do the same activity again. But since I had already thrown out the magazine, we drew our own facial parts:
Rose decided to put some on this leaf she picked:
Yesterday I also bashed my nose while running to answer the phone. I slipped on my floor and landed nose-first into the protruding corner of a wall. The wound is healing okay, but today I'm more bruised and puffy. The person calling? A robot from the Contra Costa County library, notifying me that some books I had on hold were available. At least it wasn't a real person--I might have held some unnecessary resentment toward them.

Lovely!
You are such a great mom, Chrissie! What a cute idea to make faces from magazines. I usually let the kids play by themselves anymore. Haha. Sometimes I feel kind of burnt out on the whole entertaining children thing:), which, basically is my job.
I love how social Rose is and how excited she was to have the girls over and I'm so sorry about your nose! Ouch!:(
Super creative mommy you are, Chrissie!! I would've NEVER in my wildest imagination thought of doing something like that. I was completely floored by Rose's face on the leaf. That busted me up laughing!!
RE the "Beehive Fingernail Painting", did I ever have a flood of memories from the past! I remember when Paige was probably Rose's age, and I did a similar activity at our house. All you girls used to love hanging with the big "Mutual girls" through the years! ;-)
Is your nose OK now? That must've hurt like crazy! So glad your fall didn't bring on worse injuries....still the same....OUCH!!!!
Love ya, Mom
Cute idea!! My favorite part is how Rose picked out a "prop" with which to showcase her nails. BAHAHAHAHA
Rose models those magazine earrings very well! It was fun to see all of her and your creations. I, too, got a kick out of her leaf face!
You know, I might hold a bit of resentment towards the library. Who knew automated machines could wreak such havoc? Hope the swelling has gone down considerably and that there are no lasting effects or scars from the incident.
