The bee sting

Last night was Aiden's open house for his new preschool in our area.  It is a Montessori class so I am excited to see the things Aiden will get to do and learn with the new way of learning.

 

Everything was going great until we went to the playground after.  Aiden got stung by a bee on his ankle and it was his first time.  He was shrieking and screaming instantly and so loud.  Every other parent was so confused and it was a little bit embarrassing, I'm not going to lie LOL.

 

Of course I am panicked because I had NO clue if he was allergic to bee stings.  That can be a big deal!!  Luckily some silly jokes, an icepack from his cooler with drinks and a promise of McDonald's for dinner did the trick.  We even convinced him to go back and face his fears.

 

I pretended to call the school and tell them they had to get rid of the bees.  He believed it ;)  and off we went.  Thank god the bees left the play piece and he was able to get back on it.  Poor thing.

 

I will post 1st day of school pics in the morning.

 

He loves the chalkboard in the classroom.  His last preschool had a dry erase so this HUGE chalkboard was new and fun for him.

 

Making thumbprint leaves

 

Before the "accident"  His school mascot is a spider and this is a spider to climb on and apparently bees live under it ;)

 

Poor thing (on his ankle)

 



Harley, School, and Pumpkins

Hello Everyone!

This will be cut pretty short.  Its time for me to go and pick Aiden up from pre-school.  I went to Michaels and Jo-Anns today and also talked to my mom for a little bit and before I know it....my 3 hours are up and time to get Aiden.  I love dropping him off now...he LOVES school and always tells me he wants to go back tomorrow.  I miss him at the same time but its oh so nice to go places by myself once in awhile LOL

A customer on Etsy needed me to make a birthday card for her "Harley Man" she claimed..so here is what I came up.  She liked me Harley Invite and wanted me to change it to a bday card instead.

Love the fun chrome technique on the card.  The real card is very shiny and fun to look at!  He loves mountains AND his Harley so she was so excited to find this card...I love getting reponses like that!

I also created an adorable pumpkin themed banner for a twins bday party.  Love the way this one turned out.  For more details...visit the party blog!

Come back tomorrow for more projects!

Time to pick up Aiden!

Princess Crown

 Hello!

Right now Aiden is in preschool so I have a few minutes to blog.  I usually come home and work on my Etsy orders for the night so I can spend more time with Aiden and Brent once he gets home.  However, I needed to go to Hobby Lobby today for more paper and ribbon for my shop needs so its pretty much too late to start anything since I pick Aiden back up in 20 min or so.

We havent had any tears dropping him off at preschool.  I need to get busy working on his party decor and cake plans! 

Speaking of cakes..I was asked to create a nameplate for a Diaper Cake.  I was given freedom to create anything it just needed to be a princess crown theme, have her name, and be blingy!

Loved the way it turned out.  The sparkles match in real life...not sure why they are showing up as orange.

I also just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

Preschool and 35 Months

 Hello!!  This week and last has been bittersweet for me...Aiden started preschool.

I am not too sure why he insists on growing up?!  His first day was August 10th and he did pretty good.  In fact, he didnt cry until Friday, which I assume is because I wasnt there and my  nephew (whos 4) was and didnt have school yet.  Who would rather go to school than stay home and play?

Now he has started crying, actually yesterday was the worst and today got better.  It breaks my heart. I actually left with a teary eye today :(

Here is Aiden getting ready for his first day.  We have been working on the smile thing can you tell?!

Although he still does this, which is really precious in real life LOL

Goodness I love this kid!  I cried the first day.  I admit it, bawled.  It was terrible and I miss him being home all the time with me.  Hopefully this gets better?!

While I am at it, it is his 35 Months Recap:

Aiden,

This month is bittersweet for mommy and daddy.  You have done several things that just shout I am not longer a baby but a TODDLER!  We started potty training and you are doing SO SO SO good.  Although we are working on the big potty.

You also started school this month.  I know its scary at first when mommy drops you off but at the end of the day you are SO excited and are doing your little yoga poses (they do this!) against the wall waiting for me.  I love when I see papers in your backpack.  Each and every one is on the fridge so far.

Aiden, you amaze me more and more each day and I love you more (you have started saying this...it melts my heart!)

Wearing 3T mostly in clothes

Still love chicken, mac and cheese, chips, pretzels and cookies.  And yes, we still give you vitamins and pediasure to make up for that diet.

NO MORE DIAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!  You look adorable in big boy underwear!

Love being outside

Always talk about wanting to go to your grandma Nancy's house (monkey).  And you are always calling her on the phone and talking about Ipad and Angry Birds LOL

Still loves playing in the sand box, going to the park, and taking bubble baths.

You are obsessed with movies for 2 weeks at the time then switch and then go back

*Cars

*Bee Movie

*Elmo Potty

*Madagascar

*Rio (thanks to your other grandma Beth!) Which you call the movie Angry Birds

Back to love reading books! YAY!!!

Love you so much Aiden!

Love, Mommy

TSB Blog Hop!

Hey Everyone! Thanks for stopping by today...if you came from April's blog than you are on the RIGHT track....if not then start from the beginning at Aletha's blog so you don't miss any creations!!

This time the blog hope theme is BACK TO SCHOOL!

Wow..it's going to be August and kids will be going back to school any time now. I dread the day when Aiden has his first day of kindergarten...it will be bittersweet and hard to see him go!

I was able to work with the adorable school bus image..which is ready to buy in the shop TODAY! (Tracey redid the shop and the way it looks..so pretty!)

I created a card with the TSB Bus digi image and colored it in with copics. I also used the red Copic glitter pen and colored in the red strip across the bus! You can't really tell but the pattern paper is school themed and has school words all over it.

For an extra touch I added brads...primary for typical school colors!

I had to decorate the inside as well and used a scrap piece of that pattern paper inside!

Thanks for stopping by...hope you enjoyed my card. Also, make sure to leave a comment because there will be a lucky random winner based on comments from all the blogs participating in the hop...so the more you visit and the more comments you leave...the better chance :)

Have a great Saturday
