Markers in the BATH!!!

Payton and I were at Target the other day and we had to go on the isle with the wipes. Payton found these markers that you use in the bath tub. And of course, to prevent a breakdown on isle 20, I decided to go ahead and get them. Plus, they seemed pretty neat and I figures both girls would love them!!

DSC_0792It came with 4 colors!!

Plus, I was teaching her those four colors in the bath. And she would repeat what I was saying.. but couldn’t tell me on her own! But, we will keep working on this!!

DSC_0790

Ok, so I had a little fun with them too!!

Oh yeah, and they just wash off easily with a wet rag!!!

MYYYYYY Chair

We are getting new furniture. We haven’t received our couch yet. But, we bought a Lazy Boy chair as well and we got it the other day. Payton LOVES for me to hold her in our old chair. But, she quickly adapted to this chair. She let me know… “Mommy, MYYYY CHAIR”

I have proof.. This is her saying it to me… She is using her hand and everything!!!

DSC_0785

Cracks me up. I told her, “No, it’s Mommy’s chair.” She told me again “MYYY CHAIR” she told me this many many times!!!

Anyways, this is my new chair!! Once we get out couch in and get everything situated then I will show you the whole set!! :) I am super excited!!

All the girls coloring

One day last week I let the Payton and Parker color.

DSC_0709

DSC_0710

Grace wanted right in the middle of it all.. Literally

Yes Marla that is a purple marker in her hand. She threw a HUGE fit when I tried to take it away.. And I just wanted to see what she would do.. And the spots where there are purple marks.. Grace did that!

DSC_0711

This is what I mean when I say LITERALLY

DSC_0712

But she didn’t like purple anymore, she wanted a different color

DSC_0713

 

DSC_0714

DSC_0719

As you can imagine the other two girls didn’t like it that she was in the middle of the canvas

So, they went elsewhere

DSC_0721

DSC_0722

It’s so funny to me that Payton lays this way to color. One day she saw Parker doing it,  and so she started doing it. So sweet.
