The playdough kitty...

... Evan and I made needed a food dish as well as a water dish. At least that is what Evan had decided. He also wanted the cat to have its own play dough cat bed so the kitty would have a place to rest.



Earlier this week Evan found his lacing beads. We got them to keep him busy on the flight over from Germany. He hadn't played with them in a while and so was very excited to find them the other day. He sat down and started threading the beads on to the string, then he would want me to tie the ends of the strings together and wear it as a necklace. Unfortunately most of the beads are too big for him to get the string through himself, all except one. He managed to put the string through all the triangles by himself.



Then yesterday I decided it was time to make some sugar cookies with Evan. I had been wanting to for while now and was very curious to see what Evan would think of the idea. It had been a while since the last time we made cookies together, so this was definitely new and exciting for both of us! He had fun decorating them, although most of the candy, especially the miniature m&m´s, ended up in his mouth instead of on the cookies!


I also managed to get some more scrapbooking done. I am finally starting to figure out how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements for digital scrapbooking. I used to use Jasc Paint Shop Pro for all my digital scrapbooking, so using a new program made things difficult for a while. I really don´t like having to use an unfamiliar program and so usually just avoid it. I am glad I finally got around to giving it a try though, because it really is so much easier. The layout is about a corn maze we had visited with Evan last fall while still in Germany. I used Miranda M´s "Ripe Bananas"and Dani Mogstad´s "Boo" kit.


Have a good day!
