Day 92: Bloop Bloop

Today Ashlyn had her zoology class. They learned about fish this week and then made their own! She said his name is Bloop Bloop the fish. :)

Day 91: More Decorations

Every season/holiday, we've been getting window clings. Ashlyn has so much fun putting them up and since you can get a big sheet at, again, the Dollar Store, there's no reason to not let her pick out her favorite and go for it on our back door. :)

Day 90: Let A Little Love In Your Heart

I saw a post somewhere that talked about how they used a little white bird in their Valentine's decorations this year and they got it from Target in their Valentine's section. I loved it and it was inexpensive, so I knew I wanted to run to Target and get one. I went to get the white one, but there was only one pink one left and Ashlyn loved it, so I got both. :) Then I got two vases or whatever you want to call them and a few packs of conversation hearts (vases and hearts from the Dollar Store) to complete our table decor. :) I was just going to use the white bird and put the pink one elsewhere (Ashlyn's room, maybe?), but I couldn't part the lovebirds. ;) I think they will stay out after Valentine's, too. I'm not sure where, but they're cute and don't need to be just for Valentine's Day.

Day 89: Rock On!

Because Ashlyn loves music so much, I set up a little music station in our living room with our Wii instruments, her new guitar, her microphone, and our radio/CD player.

Day 88: Play It Loud, Just LIke A Rockstar!

I was looking online at some stuff and on the Nick Jr. website there was a template and instructions on how to make a guitar just like KiKi in The Fresh Beat Band. Ashlyn's always wanting to play with our Wii guitar, but we won't let her (she can only play with the drums). So I knew I had some paper towel tubes and cardboard in my craft box so I whipped it up for her. She has played it every day!

Day 87: New Kind of Bow

I found a tutorial online for some new types of bows and this one seemed very simple so I tried it out with some bow I had already. I think it's kinda cute! So I will be making a few just to play around. I'm wanting to make a Cheshire Cat bow, but I want to look for a particular ribbon first. Anyway, here's the new bow.

Day 86: Blue Moon

I didn't have a decent picture today, but Ashlyn LOVES the moon. She loves anything having to do with the sky like rainbows, airplanes, clouds, etc. but the moon especially catches her interest. She really wanted to take a picture of the moon today so she "helped" me take a couple of pictures. I could not find a way to take a really good picture, though. At least not right then and there. I'll have to experiment.
