C is for creative, oh and C is also for cookie!

Yesterday I was looking for fun cheap educational things I could do with Lumps (it was rainy and soggy out) So i thought to make up some flash card - We did some number ones first just on computer paper glued onto an old corn flake box.

Lumps wanted to do some colouring in, so I decided colour flash cards where she could help would be a great idea.

Number flash cards- cereal box!

Colour flash cards- yes That is a 2 year old's art work on most of them.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the local library and were given a flyer on story time with cookie monster happening at another local library. SO guess where we headed this morning?

Doing the washing~

Lumpy got a clothes line for her birthday along with some new Cabbage Patch Kids clothes. Add the water play table to the mix and you have one domesticated mini mumma!

Last one!

She is such a great little helper! she helps take things to teh sink/bin. she helps put dirty clothes in the basket. She hands you each single item to peg on the line.
Such an amazing little girl that I am so very proud to call my own!

Lumpy turns 2!

Lumpy has turned 2! What an amazing 2 years (+ 9 month) journey we have had! No-one can ever explain the love you will feel when you see that little baby for the first time. That love just keeps growing, every single day. Something new and amazing to see or do. Changing my view on even the simple things - remember every day is an adventure to kids. A simple trip to the supermarket? nope colours, lights, noise,  new things to look at and see. It does make you appreciate the world differently when you see it through a childs eyes.

Lumpy's Birthday started on Wednesday with cupcakes at day care and followed by Dinner with her Uncle and Aunty.

"hoot" cupcakes for day care

Opening presents on Thursday

Changing baby's nappy! Such a little Mumma!

At Lumpy's birthday party on Saturday we had a decorate your own cupcake table! which was a hit, even at 2 the concept was understood and they had a blast. (SOme going back for 2nd cup cakes)

DIY cupcake decorating

That is good cupcake!

Rainbow cake!

Way more hours than I would like to admit went into this cake! - hmm how can i top this next year? Pool party and giant cup cake?

Queensland museum

Lumpy is 'in to' dinosaurs at the minute - and is often 'rawr rawr'. The museum has an exhibit on with 2 replica large scale dinosaurs and eggs and foot prints, and the skeletons and random bones upstairs on another floor.
We took lumpy in to see them today!

After day care fun!

What do you do when the sun is finally out??? Watermelon arvi tea picnic at the park and find a puddle!

Gallery of Modern Art

Thanks once again to Homemade Mumma for the idea! (http://homemademumma.blogspot.com/) I love reading your blog and knowing you are local!

So a wet weather activity anyone? especially on school holidays? Check out Gallery of Modern arts Yayoi Kusama: The obliteration room & Pip & Pop we miss you magic land! Thats where EVERYONE from Brisbane with kids was today!! (ok not really it just seemed like it).

Both exhibitions were loved by Miss Lumpy who is almost 2.
They are both also FREE.

The obliteration room invites visitors to obliterate the completely white surfaces of a life sized Australian living room, re-created within the Gallery, with coloured adhesive dots

Piano covered in dots anyone? - lumps did enjoy playingthe Piano.

The floor needs a few dots.

Baby and I need our own pillow beds!

These are made of sugar!!

Max brenner to finish the morning :)

Not an entirely free day out- parking and max brenner but still a cheap fun educational (kinda) day out :)

Mmm bread

Lumpy and I went for arvo tea picnic and play at the park. I made a loaf of bread.
I cut and vegemite'd 2 slices... I looked up and lumps has a mouth FULL of bread...
She had started eating through from the other side!!!

We also found a feather which I explained was from a bird, so the feather was now called bird!

While Mumma is busy, I will nibble

Just Laxing

Bird, bird, bird.
