Mark’s dad is always doing woodworking at he had asked us recently if Sam would like a corn hole game. We absolutely thought she would so he made a pair for us. He left the painting to us so that we could make something Sam would like. When Mark showed Sam a bunch of photos of corn hole games on the Internet for ideas, of course, she couldn’t pick stripes, or a star, or some easy pattern. Nope. Very Hungry Caterpillar. Couldn’t be more complicated. But we really wanted her to have what she wanted so off Mark and Sam went to the Home Depot to find colors. They came home with perfectly matched colors and we created templates for the circles and drew the caterpillar. After Mark and Sam painted the boards, I painted the caterpillar on them. I must say, they turned out great! We are going to have a great time throwing bean bags this summer!

Creepy Carrots

| May 29, 2016

One of Sam’s latest food obsessions is raw carrots. I had absolutely no objection to that because, hey, who is going to object when a kid wants a vegetable for a snack? I think it’s cute actually, since I loved raw carrots when I was a kid. She asked me for one and when I looked in the bag I found this rather odd specimen. Sam couldn’t wait to eat it! I guess I should be glad she wanted to eat it and not keep it forever like she does with most of the other odd things she finds. Sam has an adorable book called, “Creepy Carrots” and this one should be in it, I swear. Weird, creepy or just downright odd, she ate just about every bite!
