Learning new skills

We haven't posted recently - winter has been getting to us. However, here is a peek at what we've been up to:

That's right, Phoebe is learning how to sew! She is practicing on her stuffed animals that have been played with a bit too roughly.
The weather will be warming up soon, and that means we'll be more active again - which means more pics to post!

Spring!

Well, it wasn't sunny, but at 50 degrees who cares? We had to get outside for a while. Drawing with chalk was the perfect excuse!

Building Castles

Our local library has a wonderful children's area. It was pretty packed when we got there, but shortly after, we found we had the room to ourselves. We had a great time building with the foam rubber blocks! Phoebe loves knocking them over as much as she loves stacking them up.

Playing with clay

We made home made clay today.  I have to say it was one of the easier clay recipes we've tried.

We used 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup salt, 1 tbsp cream of tartar, food coloring, and glitter. We made a lovely light pink with silver and purple sparkles.

I've found that if we do our playing on cookie sheets, it helps to corral the mess. Yay!
