Singing and Sliding

Chloe was cracking me up. I was in the other room doing something and next thing I hear is Chloe jamming out to Old McDonald and her ABC's. I

had to get a few videos. Enjoy.

I am having the worst time with this editor today. Ok so the last sentence is split and I can't move it, sorry. Below is what happens when it gets hot in TX and you have a perfectly good Bouncy House. :).

Pensacola - 2010

Chloe and I went to visit the Brachers in Pensacola in May.  We had a great time.  Chloe just adored the beach and the pool.  She had the best time.  I lucked out to get a ton of pictures of Chloe and I because Mrs. B loves taking pictures.  Wooo hooo.  I will let the pictures do most of the talking, :).  Ok can't get the text to move, it was at the top.  The above pictures are all of the beach.  Below: The pool.

Mrs B. Has been working on some pottery.  She is actually quite the artist, her dishes are now in local stores.  On Sunday she and her friend Theresa showed Chloe how to make some pottery.  Chloe had a great time.

And just when you thought it was impossible for us to pack in any more fun: We went to the park.

Projects

Some pictures from May.  Chloe and I were outside playing and we decided she would tell me a story and I would draw it for her.  Her story began with a train. Then there was a birthday cake. Then the train ate the birthday cake and turned into a Cake Train.  I thought it was pretty cool she could make all of that up.  Her imagination is growing by leaps and bounds these days.  We have all sorts of pretend scenarios. 

I don't know how I come up with stuff sometimes but, alas one rainy day I decided it was a "great" idea to make paper mache figures.  We blew up a balloon and covered it with strips of paper and while we were working on that Doug made a dog/horse (some sort of creature) out of coat hangers and we covered that as well.  Here you can see Chloe painting her creature.  I think this project might have gone more smoothly if Chloe were older.  Although she has enjoyed painting her projects.  So maybe it was a good idea, hummmmmm.
