You Sure That's Edible (I can't be sure)?

We FINALLY made Edible Playdough......I say FINALLY, all in CAPS like that, because I was afraid to try it. Payton, my friend's cute little girl I watch after school, begged and begged me to make it. Here is the outcome. Oh yes ma'am......HAD to try it first!
When asked what she was making, her response was "Cookies", EVERY time.
Cute girls creating yummy food made with LESS than appetizing playdough.
Mmmmm, pizza.
Yes, those are carrots, her actual snack.
Thanks for PRESSURING us to try this experiment Payt! Good times! :) They had a blast, but I think I will be searching for a yummier recipe.

'Make a Complaint Monday'-I Just Don't Belong

For those of you that are EXTREMELY concerned (which I know is ALL of you-haha, hehe), YES I will keep doing 'Make a Complaint Monday'. I like it too much not to.

Jaeli and my adventure started out today with leaving the house about an hour later than we wanted to, but 'Pea' comes first, right? She needed to eat and take her bottle. Then we set off to visit some of my favorite people where I used to work. Here is Jaeli finding ANYTHING on the classroom floor of course to stick in her mouth. (By the way, the MYSTERY poster behind her is part of the Genres of books. I laughed when I saw it behind 'Pea' because Jaeli is ANYTHING BUT Mysterious!)

NOW TO MY COMPLAINT..............................(Maybe not QUITE a complaint today, but something I was sad about.)

Ever feel like you don't belong? That sense of awkwardness, that empty feeling, the churning stomach and overwhelming shyness? That was my day. There are places you may go, used to work or used to belong to that maybe you decide to visit. You get excited to see old friends and to catch up. THEN, it hits...................yes IT........and IT hit hard today. "Natalie, you don't belong here anymore. A lot of good friends are here, true enough, but you, yourself don't belong anymore."


I will always have the memories, and THEY are what I prefer to remember. The great memories and the magnificent friends. I love you all. I.JUST.DON'T.BELONG.
