playdough fun

it's gotta be one of the best things ever invented...
it smells good {i know, i'm weird}, it's super fun, and it brings out the kid in everyone!

good old fashioned playdough!

now that jada has preschool, during sofia's naps {p is obviously in high school}, i get brooke only time two days a week! i love it...because we get to do things that are just for brooke.

when jada plays with playdough, she mixes the colors and it flips out brooke, so i have a "brooke only" tub stash...and we pulled it out.
our very first creations...horses, of course!
{you know brooke can talk to them, so they told her what colors to use...see the tips of color?!}yes...there's an elephant hanging out too! back off...they needed a friend!
next...you have to have a princess..."rap" {rapunzel} in this case, with her prince charming. and they are all dolled up in their ball clothes too!

then we totally had to make a wedding cake for rap and the prince...
{i had a blast making the candles}

and a cupcake to spare, bc u never want to run out of cake!

brooke is growing up soooo fast, but i love taking in every single second i can to spend that alone time just "being" together!

so, grab some playdough and...play! it's super fun, i'm not gonna lie!
what is it they say...take time to smell the playdough. :)

Playdough and us don't get along that well. Considering the kids get it all over the carpet. we save it for a very well supervised mommy and kid time.
I make my own playdough..talk about smelling good..it's made with koolaide..msg me if you want the recipe.
Great pictures...looks like a tonne of fun

I too like the smell of play-doh. Not sure why. Cute creations you both made and how fun to have one on one time with Brooke.

We love playdoh at our house. I actually found some at a local fair last year - all natural, doesn't dry out and smells yummy enough to eat. My new all time favorite!!

I haven't played with playdoh in YEARS! It reminds me of one of those stress-balls though. Maybe more adults SHOULD play with play-doh!!

Play dough is awesome! I totally agree and you are one talented play dough maker.
I LOVE the smell of play dough too. I was disappointed the first time I tasted it and discovered it DIDN't taste like it smelled. :)
I can't stand the smell of playdough, but kids love it so much, you just can't say "no"!

I love play dough too! What fun for you and Brooke to have special time together.
Super fun!

Several years ago I was getting my nails done and the tech was using a certain product and I said, "This smells just like playdough." She goes, "Ohmygosh!! I've been trying for years to figure out what this smells like! And that's exactly it!!!"

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
