On My Mind...

I found out that Josie really loves to paint. I went to Wal-mart and found some watercolors for her and she had a ball today. My problem was that it didn't come with a coloring book. I told Elliot my dilemma and he said you can use regular coloring books to use the water colors on. I was like DUH!!! When I was little they had these books that you would use a paint brush and the color would appear. I didn't find any of those books. If anyone knows where to find those, let me know.




Luckily it was all washable. She absolutely loved every minute of it.

I know you all might think I'm crazy but I'm terrified of SNAKES!!!! Just the word makes me cringe. I bought these plastic forks, spoons and knives for Josie and I just had to throw these spoons away because every time I picked one up I imagined a real one. Here's a picture of one of the spoons...




What is up with banks!?! Why do they make you roll your own coins. I've heard that other people say that the bank will just do it for you and it will be fast and easy. I know that they have a machine that does it for them so why can't they just do it for you???? I took my M&M piggy bank to Wells Fargo today. I had time to wait around while my glasses were being fixed next door. When the teller gave me the paper things to put the coins in I was so bugged. I ask you again why, why can't they just do it for you.... WHY??? Luckily Josie was really good and she even wanted to help me put the coins in the rolls.

I made some bows last night because Josie fell asleep at a normal hour (8 pm WOOHOO!!!) Thanks Lisa and Tara for showing me how to do them. I think they turned out pretty good.

you are so funny melanie! throwing away you snake spoons...i grew up with snakes. my brothers had them as PETS! in fact one escaped from it's cage and you could hear it crawling in the walls at night! talk about super creepy.

okay so here is a helpful hint for the next time you have a jar of change. go to the zion bank right off of state street before the murray library! they have a big machine that you pour your change into and it counts if for you and then prints a piece of paper. you take the paper to the teller and she gives you your money! it takes like 5 minutes!!! AND you don't even need to be a member of the bank. sweet eh? joel and i have a big piggy bankg too and so i take it there even though i don't belong to the bank.

i love that josie loves painting. what a messy but fun hobbey. she's such a cutie!

Those bows are so cute! I wish I had a little girl. Mikkele just is getting too big for things like that. Well I guess we'll find out before too long if we'll be having a girl or a boy. Good job!

I need to calm down a bit and relax and let my kids be messy and not care about it. You're so good!

Did you make those bows at enrichment? If not, I want you to show me how to make them. They are very cute!

very cute bows Melanie and I totally know what you mean with the bank. I did the exact same thing too. I came with all my change expecting them to do it and nope I had to sit there like an idiot and roll them so I just took it home and did it. That's cute about the painting with Josie. Love you

Oh Melanie. The bows are so cute! I mean, c'mon they are so darn cute. Did I mention that your bows are so cute? You HAVE to show me how to make those! I can't believe how cute they are. Wow, the bows that you made are so cute. How cute are those bows that you made? Could the bows that you made be any cuter? hehe

Haha, Mel. You did NOT offend me at ALL! In fact it broke the "I just bore my testimony and feel like a retard" ice. When I call people a snot it is a term of endearment! I'M the one who says stupid things!
