Creativity!

I have a lot of catching up to do! I've been able to print these blogging posts out and have found that they are a SUPER way to keep a family history. Of course my regular journal will be for the personal stuff, but this has been a great way to, like I said, keep a fun history of our daily-ish activities!

Loobey has been going through this really creative phase lately. She loves to design, color and anything else that brings out what she can imagine. At the end of March she decided to make Beauty and the Beast costumes for her and Belle. I think they turned out pretty darn cute!


She then decided to make the little costumes that her fairy dolls wear.


For her birthday her grandma gave her a doll house that you have to completely put together and decorate. When she saw all the millions of pieces she lit up like a candle! (I would have thought there's no way I'm putting that thing together!) But Loobey spent FIVE hours putting that thing together! I finally had to ask her to stop so I could set the dinner table.

It will be interesting to see what creative things she comes up with as she grows older!

Leopard

The other day I went on a field trip to the Treehouse Museum (for the first hour) with Loobey. What a great place! Loobey was chosen to be the princess in the fun little play they put on. At the end she got to marry the very handsome shepherd boy. She hammed it up well.

She came home with a leopard mask that she made while there. While she was showing me, her eyes started to sparkle and you could just hear the cogs moving in her brain. She said, "I know! I'm going to make a leopard costume to go with the mask!" So off she went, and sure enough completely by herself, she made a leopard costume! Here's her creation...

She was a little sad that she couldn't walk in it because, you know, being taped on and all, it made it a little difficult. I thought she did a great job!
