Tempramental Artist

It is 106 degrees outside. Baker decided to cope with the heat by stripping down to his undies. Since he was already dressed for the occasion, I thought it was a great time to paint! So I ventured down to the basement (for the first time in weeks...gross) and brought all of our supplies upstairs. Then he called it quits after about 15 minutes...

Play-Doh Party

Play-doh continues to be a favorite around our house/apt. I'm trying desperately NOT to care that Baker mixes the colors like a madman.

Paper Bliss

While shopping for back-to-school art supplies in Chicago, I found this beautiful paper selection at Blick. Oh how I love pretty PAPER!

More Fun at Lake Michigan

I took K and B to the lake today. Kylee wanted to work on her tan (even after I delivered what I believe to be a compelling argument for wearing sunscreen) and Baker loves to play in the sand and the water. Due to recent heavy rains and flooding area beaches have been closed for 48 hours or so -- including our go-to spot, Oak Street Beach. Oak Street was closed again today so I researched our options and found several good beaches that were open. I landed on North Avenue Beach -- a new place to play, a big adventure and only a bus ride away.

Or so we thought...

A 30 minute bus ride led to a short stroll...an inquiry with a very friendly mom who politely explained (with an enchanting Irish accent) that we were a LONG way away from where we needed to be...several phone calls to Kevin...Iphone mapping...and a 10 minute cab ride later...we arrived at North Ave.

We stayed all afternoon and played and ate lunch and had a really great time. And Kylee has the PINK shoulders to prove it.

We made a chocolate chip bundt cake in honor of Kylee's arrival in Chicago later today.
