it's not easy being green

A great way to help spark inspiration is to participate in a challenge.  Every week the American Crafts creative minds, come up with a different challenge, and this week is Green Week Challenge.    The requirements are to create a layout or card using two or more green American Crafts products (love!)

Journaling reads:  You are the youngest girl in your class.  All the girls are either five or turning four years old.  You're still three, longing to be older.  Competitiveness runs through your veins, and you struggle to keep up.  Be patient Sweetheart, being green is a wonderfu, beautiful color!

girl on the move!

Without fail, this girl will NEVER forget to ask the wornout question, "Mama, what are we doing today?" or "Mama, after I go to sleep, what are we doing we when I wake up?"  All replies must be answered with some activity!!  For a homebody like myself, I have to admit, somedays this question sounds like nails on chalkboard.  But how can I resist a face like this? 

Tell you what...we have certainly been busy!!  Aside from her scheduled pre-school and daily trips to Kids Club at the gym, we thankfully have been spending lots and lots of time with her BFF, Elsie and Elsie's wonderful family!

Kili had a blast at her birthday party earlier this month, and even more fun when she got Elsie all to herself at her home to follow.  I  couldn't be more happier to see their friendship blossom over these years!  And they are still so little!  LOL!

On non-school days, we have been taking trips to the bookstore, pottery paint shop, and the park.  (will post some of those photos later! once uploaded from iphone)  

This past weekend, the wind conditions seemed to be just right for Daddy to help Kili fly her first kite.  You cannot believe how excited she was, especially since it was a Barbie kite...yes, Barbie.  I say this with my hand over my eyes...LOL!
