Happy Birthday Jones!

Happy 5th birthday!  You are my sweet, smart, clever, handsome boy, who’s passionate about science, nature, swimming and candy.  You are the idea man, a great friend and constant questioner.  You have a sharp memory but cannot remember where you put that “shoe/ball glove/cup/wallet” you had ten seconds ago.  Happy birthday i love you so!  

PS I had a much longer post written out but it disappeared so here’s the Instagram short version. 

9 - Index Card a Day

Last year I saw someone’s index card a day challenge it was Amazing (sadly I don’t even know who’s it was to share) but after seeing it I was like I want to do this next year.  And so June 1 I started I didn’t have any index cards readily available so I decided to use the various “junk” I had saved up from January’s Junk journaling that I only ever collected supplies for.  

So far it’s been fun but I am wondering if I will finish this project.  Jones is also very interested in them I had them laid out the other day and it inspired him to make his own collage, and now in the morning he checks to see what i made.  Anyhow here are my first 5.

June 1 collaged envelope

June 2 collaged project life card

June 3 postit + packaging from something

June 4 collage with packaging (this one has me totally excited for goggly eyes so look out for more goggly eyes.)

June 5 another collaged envelope.

32 - Theas Recital

Thea has her first dance recital over the weekend she LOVED it.  During dress rehearsal she didn’t really dance just seemed caught in the spotlights shining on her.  But when the actual recital came she enjoyed herself so much. She wasn’t the worlds best tap dancer but three year olds tap dancing is so darling.  She really also enjoyed watching the other girls dance.  She asked to take hip hop next year although I think you have to be 5 to take hip hop.
