The scones that Amie and Mama made this morning at 6 am. In the background some of the silver dinnerware Amie received as gifts from her family in India. While she was patting down the batter, she said “I’m a big girl. I’m doing a good job. I’m a good Mama”. I immediately forgave the mess of butter and flour.
Painting at 6 pm. We have phased out the plastics for food consumption, but those IKEA cups still do great service as paint containers. When we’re done, I simply stretch plastic wrap over them and seal them with a rubber band. Works like a charm.
In between we must have read at least 20 books, many of them twice, and took one nap, way too early in the day. We didn’t venture outside because Amie caught a cold. Hopefully we’ve contained it so we can visit Sinterklaas tomorrow.
She has been saying she wants to go. She will sit on Sinterklaas’ lap and tell him she’s been a good girl. I know what he will say (what I’ve instructed him to say): “You should eat your vegetables, tough”. Well, it’s worth a try! It will also be a great opportunity to catch up with our friends from Belgium.
Enjoy our Sundays, everyone!
Woops, is that red paint on my sofa’s armrest? Better go check… Yup. It is. Sigh.
Hey Katrein,
Amie is so cute..she looks adorable with her concentrated look over her art work.
I like the paint bowls idea, we have those same IKEA bowls, doesn’t everyone? Great colours and what a deal, huh?
Is that a doll house you’ll made in the background? Do tell the details, that looks fun. Making the lil catepillar is real fun do post about it when you’ll make it.
I had an idea for the top half of the egg carton, hold onto that too for a few days and see if you want to try own next project!
oops, I meant our next project.
Hi Anja,
the doll house I made a while ago. It was meant for her little Playmobil guys (“The Manushes”), but she uses it for any doll that will fit. She is most taken with the “basement”. I blogged it here.
Can’t wait to see your next project!
There’s a funny cartoon in the New Yorker this week, about toddler’s art, here.
