Silly Slime

A while ago I learned a big lesson:

I made silly slime for Chloe. It was an easy project that was fun, fast and free. A triple "F".

What in the world could go wrong?

But then "it" happened.  While playing, the slime made its way onto Chloe's head. Note: I was probably on Pinterest or Facebook (darn you social media!). I remember seeing her do it and thinking nothing was wrong with it, but maybe it would be a little messy, then a minute later I thought, "what the crap, that stuff is going to take forever to get out."

She is all smiles at this point because she thought it was funny. It was funny...at first.

I was right. That silly slime was no longer something fun. It was a pain in the butt. I spent at least an hour with a comb, a crying Chloe and lots of shampoo, trying to get it out.

I also have dried silly slime stuck to the baseboards behind the toilet. I haven't taken the time to scrub that up. I will probably get to it when we move out.

Lesson: Put the silly slime out of Chloe's reach, or just pay more attention.

The Body "Pojet"

Chloe loves doing "pojets" or as we would say, projects. What can I say, she's like her mama. Plus, doing little projects is a good time to not be on the computer or watching tv.

One of our projects was outlining her body and coloring it in. I remember doing this in school and all the time with my sisters using sidewalk chalk while playing outside. Doesn't every kid do this at some point?

Oops, her body looks a little wonky and yes, it may have been naked time. Or as Chloe likes to say, "gankin time!"

Do you see her nail polish?

All done!

Chloe is very proud of her body project. Any time someone comes over she shows it off. It's hard to miss, since it's hanging on the wall as you enter the apartment. She has also kissed herself. So funny! And, do you also notice the green lip gloss?

A Little Project: Face Wash Holder

Our face wash lately has been a facial bar, we may have or haven't of got from a hotel. I hate letting the bar sit on the shower ledge, wasting away as the water hits it. So, I saw a little sewing project that I thought was perfect for us.

I started out with one of Chloe's baby wash clothes. From that I basically sewed a pocket.

From there I added a scrap piece of ribbon and wha-la! Now our face wash won't be wasted which equals saving money.
