Craft day!

I have been on the search for plates to go on my plate stand in my kitchen for a month now and late last night I came up with a great idea.. craft day with Ellie!

So off we went today to Color Me Mine.

What a fun time, She loved it! We will be going back for other fun projects very soon.

I helped with the hand print and she pretty much took over after that. She could have filled the entire plate with colors. She kept running back and getting different size polka dot stamps.

Concentrating so hard!

She was so careful and kept doing her "hmmmmm" face and thinking of what to do next.

She was thrilled when she got to be a big girl and use the paint brush.

I added the final touches of the  "E" and white dots on. I have such a little smarty pants, As i was drawing the E she tells me its "E" for her :)

After our little craft excursion we went to the mall and shopped a bit and then I let her decide what to do for lunch, She loves "dog-dogs" (hot dogs, corn dogs etc) so I assumed we would end up at hot dog on a stick but she chose the little bakery deli, GREAT CHOICE!! It was delicious and She ate really well.

And after a long day being a big girl she fell asleep in the car on the way home.

I had such a fun day with her, I realized that my little baby is growing up so fast. She is so independent and bossy most of the time but I'm glad she has a mind of her own. But at the end of the day she is still my cuddly little baby.

I'm so glad that she is my little shadow.

 I love you E.I.!

Thanks for a fun day out and i look forward to lots more fun craft projects now that I know how much you like to learn and try new things.
