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!

Caterpillar

Sage and I have been working on this caterpillar for a couple weeks.  Each time we did a new color she would color a section of the caterpillar.  She had lots of fun putting it all together - so did I!  Notice the expression on her face, this is the one I get when I ask her to smile.  I took about ten pictures of her and the caterpillar and this was the best one. 

Relaxing!

This is how we relax after a morning at school.  Lounging in our chair with our fire hat on and holding our backpack watching one of our favorite shows - Word World!

I asked her to smile and this is what I got!

Puzzles & Shapes

We did a few activities this afternoon to keep Sage busy.  We did a shape match-up and some puzzles.  She had fun with both activities!  It is nice being back home and doing activities with Sage.  I was gone all weekend visiting our new nephew in Peoria.  He is adorable and I loved holding him and getting all those newborn snuggles.

Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday to Uncle Russ!   We hope you have a great day!

This picture was taken last Thanksgiving - it is one of my favorites!  

Spring Program

Sage's school put on their Spring Program tonight.  She looked so cute up on stage performing with her class!  Imagine sixteen 2.5 year-olds on stage - chaos!   I managed to get a cute picture of Sage and Reese before the program and a few videos during the show.   Enjoy the show - I know we both did!

 We brought Sage to her classroom before the show - she had a death grip on Reese.

Getting ready for the show.
