New Playroom!

We have this basement that has basically been wasted space for the past 5 years...until NOW! The problem was that it is narrow and it is the bottom level of our tri level...with little kids it has proven difficult to manage all the stairs as well as keep track of everyone on all the levels. We decided that because Owen has managed the stairs very well since 10 or so months that it was time to redo our basement. Here is a partial picture of the new playroom. Yay for space!

Octopus

Today we made Octopus turkey dogs with shell pasta. Yummy! It's also the only way Maya will eat hot dogs of any variety. (She ate the eyes before I took the picture).

Tall

Maya: I am tall, tall, tall
Me: Oh?
Maya: My legs go alllll the way to the ground.


Variation:

Maya: My legs are long, long, long
Me: Oh?
Maya: They go allllll the way to the ground.

Face Painting

Maya has been asking to have her face painted since our trip to Disneyland in May. Though this isn't the 'Pirate Princess' look she talks about, it was a lil' something that the girl at the National Night Out booth could whip up. Never the less, Maya was thrilled!
