Well…I haven’t had a chance this week to draw a comic…
VBS at church. Birthdays. Chasing my baby. Etc.
But I did find a chance to draw a small 4×6 drawing of Eli.
The grass was improvising. Since the actual surroundings were too gray. I used marker and color pencil, on textured paper. I’ll do another one here soon! Also I’ll post a comic as soon as I can.
But still my sweet little thing in her pretty yellow dress.
Have a blissful yellow hued day!! 🌼
This happened two nights ago…
Right when I needed something happy she woke up, crawled into bed with me, and gave me a hug. 🥺 My little sweet sweet taking care of mama even while sleeping.
I can’t even recall what the nightmares were, but they were enough for me to almost decide to get up at 3:30am…
My sweet baby girl 💕
Give a hug to your sweet thing; whomever it may be! 🥰
Trying a Pinterest recipe…I wanted to try something new.
Looks delicious. However it was a little more work since I had to make the pizza dough. Whereas the recipe called for store bought.
The meat is currently defrosting.
Just keep chopping…
Pretty much a normal meatball recipe. Bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, etc. I used my hands to mix the meat.
I don’t know what you are thinking…but I’m thinking we will be eating these for forever.
I had a cheese snipe. She was telling me she was helping.
I decided to use my spaghetti sauce recipe. I only made half the amount.
I also had a dough snipe…😑
Just keep wrapping…
Just keeps going, and going. Eli was “counting” them for me.
Egg was the tops. I think I’ll only be eating two of these for dinner…
Maybe it is a good thing there are so many. I want to eat them all!! Mwahahahaha!!
Spaghetti sauce done!! I let the sauce simmer for about 40min.
What is this you say? It is for dessert…!
Except I forgot to make a vegetable… nothing healthy. Also I didn’t want the bottom of the Wellington to be soggy. So I separated the two.
It was a success! The hubby went back if a third one. Also asked for a couple extra for his lunch tomorrow.
Look like photo: 10! My first recipe in a while that looks correct.
Taste: 9. I liked them but the hubby said he wishes there was a better ratio between meat and dough. Less meat…
Easiness: 6. Because I had to make the dough. Also there were several steps involved. A long recipe but worth it.
So overall a great recipe! Will be making it again in the future. It would be a great potluck dish.
When visiting grandma we went on a new adventure…
So normally when little kids see the ocean for the first time you think… they will be timid, afraid, run away from the waves…
Yeah, no. Once she saw the water that is all she wanted to do. I spent the entire time holding her arms, otherwise she would have booked it out farther. 😳
We were at the beach for almost 4 hours and probably 3 of it was spent in the water. We played in the sand for a smidge. But two things ruined that idea. One: she was over it when I showed her the sand crabs. “She doesn’t like bugs.” Second: the water would destroy her castles, so it seemed like she gave up. 🤣
But overall it was a fun day. But I should say since we went out to waist deep, I spent the day lifting her up when a wave would seem to high. So I assumed the slight squat position while arm curling for those 3 hours. I was so sore the next day…
A new adventure with Eli…
Our very first legit hike. Not one where I had to carry her the entire time. Not one where she got angry 10min in…
We did leave after about 20min. Because a storm was coming, and I didn’t want to attempt this hike wet and muddy…with a two year old…
But still it was a fun day. And it was filled with such sweet moments.
This bush was covered…😳
This Spring is more like Summer… I’m missing the cooler temperatures here…
When the warm weather is here it means we can do more things. Yes it means that Eli overheats in any temperature above 65 degrees, but playing in water she survives.
I hope your days can be warm, and spent with family! 💕
I know I’ve only been posting chapters…but that’s all I have ready. Eli has been a handful; I don’t have any free time to draw.
So I hopefully will be posting other types of posts, but if not there will be a chapter.
Also I’ll be traveling again soon…so this summer is going to be filled with many travels and family.
But still. I will post something.
Just have a relaxing Monday…
I’ll be dreaming that I am, as my baby screams at me for not doing something the right way…
Trying to talk, I guess is frustrating her…
So have a Just Monday. I will try…
❤️
And I tried to paint yesterday…I only got in about ten minutes before Eli started yelling at me “all done…”
But this is where I got…
The night is near,
There should be no fear;
Alas, the storm begins.
Clash goes the light,
Grumble goes the thunder.
It is a marvelous sight.
However…
She is scared;
She cannot sleep.
A sliver of light,
Jolts through the curtain.
An angry rumble shakes the house.
Then silence…
It’s quiet as a mouse.
Slumber begins.
Mama’s wonderful delight!
…
Eli is afraid of to thunder. I will give snuggles and coos but nothing usually works.
Then sometimes as if my prayer is answered, it stops. ❤️ And She will fall asleep instantly.
However, when she wakes up in the morning, it will be at various times, because of the pressure changing. It will give her belly some gas and grumbles.
Daddy is the one she wants when she wakes up…which is sweet but the hubby just wants to sleep. But still, he takes the snuggles and sleeps with her cuddling.
Have a wonderful Friday. May it be filled with good weather and smiles. Unlike…
This vacation was to visit the newest baby addition to my sister in-law’s family. All the way to Kentucky.
Our trip was a total of 5 days…
Day 1 Drive eight hours.Hotel. Day 2 direct flight to Cincinnati, drive 10min to Kentucky. Day 3 Kentucky. Day 4 Kentucky. Day 5 Fly plus drive the eight hours. 😩
Day 5 was the worst.
But enough of the depressing things I’ll post some pictures. 🥰
It’s funny how my mind and my hubby’s mind work differently. Haha 😂 Elizabeth wanted up. This was going to be a fun day, if we were only into the drive by 3 hours.
We went exploring because we got there a bit before we could check in. Next step swimming in the pool to get the wiggles out!!
Scratch that. The pool at our hotel is closed. So we went to the park and let Elizabeth get her wiggles out. The hotel was really crappy. In all our experiences, it was the second worst ever. The first being a weed smelling infested hotel that made me puke. So this one was just a smidge better because it did not smell but it was pretty bad.
I don’t know if you remember Elizabeth with her backpack…but man, was that a life saver! If you have a two year old, get one. It was amazing.
I would suggest wiping down things that claim to be clean. It never is. I’ve been doing this even before Covid. Just because my child has always been curious. She touches everything.
Finally to Kentucky. It is beautiful. It’s green! But wow it is humid!! It was 50 something degrees and I was drenched. Compared to home it felt like the air was giving me a sweaty hug. 🥵
Next, an outing in Kentucky.
It was truly amazing!! Except at this area they had fake thunder noises and Elizabeth got scared. She got some extra mama snuggles.
This last picture we had gone up to the third floor of the ark and was slowly making our way down. It was huge!!
Walking threw the ark made me realize something. Noah was the creator of the term rustic. Whoever claims otherwise is a liar. He started it all. Haha 😆
Elizabeth was Done! at around 2:00. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law do not understand because they have a 1 month year old. Their child is fine as long as she gets to eat and sleep. Not so true for a 2 year old. And I must say! Elizabeth walked almost the entirety of the day…except the first floor of the ark. (It was too crowded and the thunder). My fitbit said I did almost 10,000 steps by this point! But she did amazing. Also we got there around 9:30. So it had been 4.5hrs. But the grandparents and the new parents did not understand.
So around 3:00…the hubby and I were Done! We got the keys to the car and took back our screaming child. The instant we got in the car, she snuggled into me and slept. It was nap time. She probably napped for a good hour and a half. I probably got 30min.
Nap time plus waiting was a total of 3 hours before everyone else showed up…😕 it would have been nice to go back to the hotel before dinner.
Bedtime was interesting… Kentucky is 2 hours ahead of us. So when it was 10pm there, it really felt like 8pm. I feel bad for our neighbors because Elizabeth was finally falling asleep around 11:30 every night.
A park near their house.
The day at the park was day four. It was warmer, but with a warmer temp meant sweating from the humidity. If it wasn’t humid and the life pace was a bit slower this would be a wonderful place to live.
Day 5
We had to wake up at 3:50am. 😒 It was good because we still had the eight hour drive after the flight. But it felt like our 1:50am. I was still on our home town time….😵
Finally back home. There is no place like home!!
