A Series of Unfortunate Events...

 


Well today was a doozy. Last night Evie's ear started hurting again and it kept her up all night long. I have no car today so of course I can't take her anywhere so we did a telehealth consult with a doctor first thing this morning. They prescribed her some antibiotics for an ear infection but unfortunately they sent them to the wrong pharmacy so I couldn't go and get them either. Super fun. Most of the day she was in bed and crying and while I gave her some Tylenol to try to help it didn't seem to last very long. Luckily this afternoon we were able to get her medicine (and also my car back) and as SOON as she had it in her ear she immediately fell asleep. We went up to my moms and celebrated her Aunt Hannah's birthday. It was a long day filled with ups and downs but hopefully things will look better tomorrow.

Seed paper...

Image
  Today we made some seed paper! It was chillier out today so we tried to squeeze this one in before it got TOO cold. Yesterday we shredded up some paper we got from Nana and soaked it in some water.  Then Evie got to add some dye into the mix to try to make it look pink. This worked pretty well but it wasn't as bold when the paper dried later. She had fun mixing it up and then we took it to the blender to get it really nice and pulpy.  After that we took it outside to smoosh out the water over a screen we made. Last we turned them out onto towels and Evie got to add seeds. I know you can add them into the pulp mix as well but I didn't want them to sprout and the paper is going to be wet for a few days at least since it's chilly and rainy out now. Once these are done we will cut then into shapes and use them in her bee garden next month. She really had a lot of fun with this one and it was such a cheap and easy thing to do. When I was a kid we once made paper in an art cl...

Arts AND Crafts...

Image
  Today we had art day and worked on some fun projects together. I told Evie this morning that it was arts and crafts day and she was SUPER excited because other than STEM day, arts and crafts are her favorite. We started off this afternoon with some potato stamping. I set this up while Evie was doing her quiet time and when I presented her with the paint, canvas, and potato she said to me "Mama I thought that potato was my snack!" 😂😂 She was definitely relieved to find out it wasn't for eating.  She had a lot of fun smashing it around and combining the colors to make her picture. After we finished our potato painting we had some free play and made chalk houses for her LOL dolls for awhile. We also made use of the sunny day (the first in awhile!) to plant a tree in the yard together. But as the evening wore on and dinnertime came around she told me  "Mama you said it was arts AND crafts day and we did art but we didn't do a craft!!" So we broke out some pe...

Ice, Ice Baby...

Image
    This week along with weather we've been talking about climates and how we are all adapted and suited for where we live. Today we switched up our sensory table for a snowy, icy, arctic one. I wasn't sure how Evie would like this one because while she loves water play she does NOT like to be sticky or slimy. The snow (which is fake snow made from powder ) isn't cold at all but it gets sort of gel like when you mix the two.  She had fun balancing the animals on the ice and digging them into the snow for awhile and then she cautiously asked if she could mix the snow and water. When I told her of course she can she was ecstatic. She found that adding snow to water caused the snow to "melt" and adding the water to the snow melted it down into gelatinous pools of blue "ice".  After lunchtime we took this one outside and she played with it for HOURS. Tossing the snow, making "food" out of the mixed snow and ice and pretending her Chelsea doll was o...
