I love nature...outside

Last night we found a brown recluse in our makeshift mancave in the garage. Claude killed it. We saw another one in there tonight and killed that too. not a fan of spiders..especially those ones...being in my house. However I LOVE seeing spiders and bugs and nature OUTSIDE my house, especially my own backyard.

Today.

Today was a little stressful, my son was acting very  clingy...which means that I really cant get anything done. I felt like I was attached to him. Didnt get any jewelry made..or anything else made for that matter except for dinner : )  I brought out the stamps and ink for Isaiah today. He is still having a tough time pushing the stamp in the ink without getting his fingertips dirty! Still was fun.
 I bought these flashcards for Isaiah that have colors and shapes and the words on them and objects and he absolutely loves them!! I am thinking about making my own memory cards for him. I saw this cool article in a magazine that showed how to make your own flash cards with posterboard and other paper materials, cutouts and glue. I figured I could do the same with memory cards. Simple objects such as apple, cat, house, tree, boy...etc. Will do a follow up post with pics on this when the projects complete!
Hubby and I watched Sanctum tonight..its based off a true and amazing story. I recommend it to watch!
Clock just struck midnight and Isaiah and I are hosting a playdate at our house tomorrow...which means I have to get up early.
adios.
