back in the groove
Today was SUCH a better day. Thank you for all your kind comments. I don’t think I so much needed more sleep as I just need to time my caffeine fixes better. I could and should make a chart for myself, mapping out the direct relation between my coffee intake and energy level. I was crashing pretty hard these last two nights. No wonder I couldn’t eeek out a decent blog post.
It also helps that I managed to take some decent pictures today. I’m such a weak writer lately. I really rely on my photos and illustrations (which are waxing farther and farther apart because they just take too much time) to get me through a post. I would give myself a guilt trip about it but I’ve been exercised lately not to take blogging so seriously.
Today was a fun day because Baby Bug painted today. She wasn’t supposed to but I accidentally left a container of paint open in her reach. ( I knew it was going to happen one of these days) I thought I was in big trouble but amazingly I managed to guide her paint smudged hand to the back of my big white dog painting and she painted a pretty picture for me. She was sooooo happy.
It was really fun for both of us. We didn’t even get any paint on anything. How I managed to get the camera and keep her fingers off the patio furniture, I do not know.

I love the picture of you two vacuuming together. She looks so helpful : )
I can’t wait until I can start doing art projects with my son. We’ve pulled out the crayons a few times, but he still seems more interested in eating them than coloring.

I don’t know how you did it (photos + no mess) either. I looked at that photo of her looking up at you with those hands and almost had a heart attack (aghh messy disaster). I’m glad you’re more relaxed than I would have been. It looks like she had a great time and really takes after her mum and dad.

You managed it because you`re Supermom. Great photos!

I love that her pacifier matches her dress :). And your photos are wonderful. If I looked as good as you do when you vacuum, I would do it every day. I am usually in pj’s and sweating to death (but, I do have a bit more carpet than you do). Glad you are feeling better and that no bad things happened with the yellow paint, I guess the count down begins to the show!

Is that the very first time BB has ever painted? Get that girl some washable watercolors and a big piece of butcherblock paper and let her go to town! :-)
Glad you’re feeling better!

Glad you’re feeling more like yourself. Baby Bug is the cutest helper ever.

i am so jealous that babybug is such a neat painter! now it’s a great activity for both of you. i, on the other hand, am still searching for the perfect mess-free craft for a three year old who just prefers to make a mess.

BB has the fanciest pacifiers I’ve ever seen.
Seriously – where do you get them?
She’s the Pacifier Princess!

BB is so grown up, vacuuming and painting. I love her hair, it reminds me of Posh Spice’s hair(or whatever her name is).
It’s time to get that girl some finger paints.
