P.L.A.Y

Today was ALL ABOUT some playing.

I woke Ellie Kate (sidenote: I'm going to attempt to call her Ellie Kate from now on, instead of just Ellie...it may or may not last) up early from her nap so we could go to our playdate.

We went to a new friend's house and sat in the floor with 5 other moms and rugrats.

Dont let her smile fool you. She was an anti-social diva the entire time. She whined and complained and didnt play with any of the other babies. She wouldnt even look at them.

The best part was when all the other babies that are younger than her started crawling around and standing up and doing algebraic equations. Okay so maybe that last part wasnt true...

But seriously. Crawl already!!!!

After our get together it was MY time to play. So we took a trip to The Mommy Playground (Hobby Lobby) to get some craft supplies.

Today I made some decoupage letters to spell the word "PLAY" in our bonus room.

Here is what I used:

- 4 wooden letters from hoblob $1 each (30% off tday!)

- 4 pieces of scrapbook paper from the clearance section .35 cents each
- 1 bottle of Mod Podge $5.99 ish (needed this for my stash anyway)

Instructions:

1. Lay your letter on top of your scrapbook paper and trace around it.

2. Cut that out.

3. Paint a layer of Mod Podge onto your wooden letter.

4. Lay your paper letter that you just cut out on top and line it up.

5. Brush on another coat of Mod Podge on top of the paper, You're Done!

**you can also sand the edges of the paper down to match the wooden letter more exactly but.......im lazy.

Here is the finished product!

Please ignore the mess on the floor. That's what playrooms are for!
