Paint Chip Thursday

Today was a pretty average day.  Bruce didn't want to eat, as usual.  So I had to pull out the big guns- pancakes.  Except today required even bigger guns.  Like a bazooka? I dont know if I really know what that is, but lets just go with it.  I made shape pancakes.

Bruce loves UmiZoomi right now.  Its all about Umi. I'm ok with it, mostly, because it teaches numbers, counting, shapes, and some colors (he already has those down). Geo and Bot are his favorites.  Geo, as the name implies, has the 'super math power' of shapes.  And if something is good enough for Geo, its good enough for Bruce.  He still ended up feeding a few to Bella and Akita, so he got a spanking and was sent to time out.  After that he ate the cresent- yes, he knows the word cresent, brilliant boy- and the triangles. 

We went to the park in the afternoon because Bruce hasn't been taking naps the past few days.  A good tuckering out was exactly what he needed.  Sorry grandmas, no pics. But, the park worked like a charm. He had a wonderful nap which allowed me the time to craft something I found on pinterest and have been excited about for a while.  

Paint Chip Wreath

One of the women in our church is out of town for a few days and she asked me to water for her.  She gave me a key to her house because she was expecting packages and I needed to take them in for her. It was the perfect opportunity to leave her the wreath.  She had mentioned that she loves fall colors.  She also has an affinity for wreaths.  I left this on her counter with the packages she received and a note that said I had found it outside and assumed it was hers.  I'm not sure if she'll buy that or not.  At any rate, it was very fun.  I like no love paint chips.  Ok, ok, I'm obsessed with them, and all the amazing, wonderful, awesome things you can do with them.  Projects are all over the place and I love them.  Bruce's mom says its not good for me to take so many from WalMart, and shes right.  So today when I went to get some, I took them to the register and asked to pay for them.  They said I could just take them.  After a reasonable amount of objection on my part I said thanks and left.  Let it be noted that I did try to pay for them!  I'm hoping she'll have a small welcome sign or something to put in the middle, but I'm happy with the result.  

I'm posting another video from a little while back. It goes along with eating.

Maybe I should just give him castanets to eat with every day? I'm not sure Calla will be pleased with him getting mac 'n' cheese in her pretty pink clickers, though.
