We made a funny little bunny for Easter. Mommy had to do most of the work on this one but I got to do all the playing with it. I helped glue the pom poms and wiggle eyes on and Mommy made ears and whiskers with fuzzy stix. Mommy put it on a popsicle stick so I could play with it. My bunny and I hopped all around the house until Ethan decided he liked it and pulled the ears off.

Mommy and I started a new project this week, it’s called around the World with Georgie. We’re printing out pretty pictures from all over the world and sticking some of my foamies on them. We have a book to put them all in so we can go back and talk about them again when I’m a bit older.

We started our trip around the world at Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, in the red center of Australia. Uluru is the biggest free standing rock in the world and is very important to the Aboriginal people. Mommy has been there and its one of her favorite places; she said we’ll go see it in person when Boo and I are older.

My Travel Book and Our First Stop Uluru

We travel a lot so Mommy got a big bag to put our craft stuff in so we can take it with us when we go away. We got a scrapbook bag and it works great, it has lots of pockets and lots of room for everything we use. I like it because I have pockets for all my foam stickers, I love my foamies! All the pockets velcro on so it makes it easy for us to take out all the supplies we need. Mommy said that when we start traveling in the RV we’ll get to take it with us!

We checked our herb garden this morning and we have sprouts; lots of them! Mommy thought that we would have to wait a couple of weeks for them to come up since we haven’t had any sun. We moved it to the kitchen and its been sitting under the florescent light. So far everything but the Parsley has come up. In a couple of week’s we’ll be able to use our own herbs to cook with!

We went to PETCO today and I got a fishy! I think Mommy got tired of me wanting to look at them on her computer all the time so she got me a real live one I can watch and talk. When we got to the pet store Mommy picked out a bowl and I picked out a rock and a plant. We looked at all the goldfish and this one stood out the most; she was the only white one in a tank full of orange ones. I chose her and the guy in the blue shirt put her in a bag for us to take home. He thought I was funny because I kept telling him he was wearing a bluuueee shirt.

When we got home Mommy had to do all the work setting up the fish bowl and getting the water ready. She washed the rocks, put in the water and then put the plant and rock in. We put the plastic bag in the water and let it sit while we had lunch. After lunch Mommy let the fishy loose in the bowl. I got so excited and was jumping up and down watching her. Mommy asked me what I was going to name her and I said Missy the fishy. I named her after my friend Missy the puppy.

Mommy was changing Boo’s diaper and I got really quiet, I always get quiet when I know I’m doing something I’m probably not meant to do. I fed Missy my animal crackers. Mommy walked in and asked what I was doing and I told her Missy was hungry. Mommy had to take Missy and the rock and plants out of the bowl to try and get all the animal crackers out. As soon as that was cleaned up Mommy put me down for a nap.

I’m over butterflies now; I decided they are boring. Yesterday I was watching Elmo’s World with Ethan and I got all excited over his fish Dorthy and that’s why we went looking for fish yesterday. I asked Mommy over and over today to watch more fish swimming on her computer. Of course she let me!

Today we made a fishbowl like Dorthy lives in. Mommy put some toothpaste in a Ziploc bag and I squished it all up. While I did that Mommy cut a fishbowl shape out of construction paper. We glued the Ziploc bag to a piece of construction paper then we glued the fish bowl on top of it. I stuck some of my foam fish on it and we were finished.

My pretty fish bowl

We were looking for video’s of the fish in the ocean on YouTube and found a Jellyfish video. I like the Jellyfish, they are pretty and move slow. Mommy decided that since I liked the Jellyfish so much we could make our own. Mommy cut a paper plate in half and I glued some googly eyes on it and then drew a smile. Mommy cut some strips of white tissue paper for the tentacles and we glued them on the back. Mommy let me stick some of my foam fish on the tentacles. When we finished Mommy downloaded a song from Amazon called Jellyfish Jump and I jumped and danced with the Jellyfish we made!
