Birthday Matching Game

Reese got home late last night and Sage was sleeping so she didn't get to see him until this morning.  She was so excited to see her Daddy!   She got to play with Daddy before school and that made her day!   She also had fun playing with a new game I made her a Birthday Matching game.  I saw the idea online - you take wrapping paper that you have on hand that has lots of images.  Mine just happened to be presents and cakes.  You cut out all the images and then glue them onto your file folder.  I got the images laminated before I put them on the folder.  Then you use Velcro to attach the matching images.  It is a really easy and fun game!  She played with it on the way to school this morning and loved it. 

Comfy Shorts

Yesterday afternoon I was trying to get a good picture of Sage to post on the blog.  Reese is traveling and when he travels I like to post pictures so he can see Sage while he is gone.

This is obviously not a great picture - but the best one out of ten that I took.  Sage was all excited to do some crafts and wasn't willing to smile for me.    She has on some new shorts - glad I found some shorts she likes.  She is all about comfy pants - or leggings.  She hates to wear jeans or khakis.  So the same goes for shorts.  All she wants is comfy shorts - we only had one pair that were comfy enough for her.  I found these shorts the other day and picked up three more pairs!   She is now a happy girl with her comfy shorts.

Sage's Baby

When I got Sage up from her nap on Saturday she was getting a pair of socks out of her drawer.  I knew Sage didn't need them since it was over 80 degrees out.  The socks were for her baby doll.  She had me put the socks on her baby and then a diaper.  Sage then proceeded to get her water and try to feed it to her baby.  She then said baby was tired and needed to take a nap.  She put the baby down, covered her up and gave her two lovies.   Just like Sage gets when she naps.  She also gave her a kiss goodnight!  The best part was when she took the baby downstairs.  I looked over and she had the baby in timeout!   Wish I had gotten a picture of that!

Happy Birthday!

Faith we hope you have a great day!   Happy Birthday!

This picture is one of my favorites of Faith and I from our trip to Japan in September 2008. 

Stringing Beads

Yesterday Sage told me she wanted to do some activities.  She chose the beads out of all the craft/activity stuff we have.  We got these beads about a month ago and Sage has only used them a few times.  Each time she has used them she has gotten better and yesterday she didn't need any help at all!  She went through all the beads and picked up one and said "Mom this is a cylinder" - she was right!  It amazes me how fast she picks up on things!

Nice Day

It was such a nice day on Wednesday that Sage and I went to the park to play.  I didn't realize how nice it actually was outside.  We had to go back inside to get shorts on and to get the sunscreen.  Not used to this nice weather.  It was a beautiful morning and we both enjoyed the park!

Finger Painting

I was so excited yesterday to do a fun finger painting project with Sage.   She had other ideas!   I got everything ready as you can see below.  She even got to wear her art smock for the first time - thanks Nana!   It was a project where Sage needed to get her whole hand full of paint and she wanted nothing to do with it.  I was lucky she didn't go running through the house getting turquoise paint all over my walls.  She wanted that paint OFF her hand and she didn't care how it came off.  Luckily I was ready with a wet paper towel to clean her up and I couldn't do it fast enough for her!  Oh well, we will try finger painting again, just not for a little while.

Easel

We brought Sage's easel up from the basement yesterday and she has been drawing ever since!   She really likes the side she uses with dry erase markers.   The shirt she has on is currently her favorite - she would wear it everyday if I let her!   I found her these cute capris to go with the shirt - here is our adorable girl!

Art Project

This is Sage's latest art project from school.  She thought it was so fun to see it hanging on the dining room chandelier.  But the really fun part was that I let her get up on the table to get some pictures.  Needless to say it was a very quick photo session!
