Welcome to my crazy life as Kade's Momma!

Milestones & notes on mommyhood, adventures in the life of a military family, crafts, life in general.

This spring there was a lot of...

waterbeads
(here used to sprout seeds)

window painting
for Daddy

sensory boards

and of course more window art
(crayon shaving art & pointillism heart)

small group discussions

cuddles when the weather wasn't great

stalking Daddy's Honor Guard posts so we could get pictures for Grandma

watching the jets during the DM airshow

pudding painting

mmmmmm 

random art ideas mommy came up with

Blarney stone crafting for our grandma McCoy!  We used salt playdough, colored sand, marbles, sequins, macaroni, googly eyes and sparkles.  Whew.  What a mess :)

weird snack experiments 

SHAVING. CREAM.




waterbeads in the water table!

Even a redneck pinata!

We learned that mommy likes markers in the bathtub a lot better than on the couch

and more shaving cream

Easter stamp making!

followed by "LET'S TURN EVERYTHING INTO A CHALKBOARD!!!"

We found uses for all that crud mommy doesn't want getting into Kade's belly or sticking to her butt!

We made our own easter decorations too :)



I hope someone finds these kiddo craft ideas useful for their own kids!  Table time is my favorite part of Kade's day - even if it does require massive cleanup overhaul afterwards (Le Sigh...)

Now I'm off to pinterest for summer crafting inspiration!
