Petey & Some Crafts

Oliver has been loving Pete lately.  He calls him Petey and just adores him.  The other day Oliver really wanted to play with Pete so Mark and I got some toys our for them.

Oliver was really excited to play with Petey's toys.

But he didn't really understand how to play with Petey.

So Claire showed him how.  She made Pete sit and then threw him his duck.

Pete got his duck and was thrilled!

Oliver, not so much.  I am not sure if he wanted to keep Pete's toy or if he thought Pete was hurting the toy.  Either way, he was NOT happy!

When Pete wouldn't give the duck back, Oliver went and got another one of Pete's toys.  Then he tried to play with it like Pete does.  Which means chewing on it (gross).  So we had Oliver make Pete sit and then throw it for him.

Then Pete got it and that was the end of that toy.

Besides playing with Pete we have been pretty crafty around here.  Claire and I spent some time painting more shapes in the playroom.

Then I decided to do handprints.  But I wasn't thrilled with that. 

 So I made Claire's handprints into flowers.

We left Oliver's as tulips because it was pretty tough to get him to cooperate to make 4 handprints for each flower.

I think they came out pretty cute, probably because my kids have the cutest hands :)

After we were done and cleaned up all the paint we just played.  And of course, I took some pictures :)

Oliver loved riding his bike, even though his feet don't reach the pedals.

I have been slightly obsessed with Pinterest lately.  While spending an absurd amount of time there,  I found this great heart garland.  So I got all the stuff and Claire and worked on it for a few nights.  Claire loved helping me and I really enjoyed doing this project.  And now I have some Valentine's Day decorations!

We made so much that I had some for my  mantel.

And my wet bar.  Like my robe?

Wait until you see the project I am currently working on!  I am waiting until I am finished to post it!  It is adorable!  

So basically we have just been hanging out, doing crafty stuff, and playing with Pete.  Yep, that's about it and I like it that way!

Oh yeah, Oliver and I stayed home sick today.  Poor baby has a fever and a stuffy nose. 

He slept until 12:30 and then he just wanted to watch Chugginton with his book, blanket, and juice.  He is soooo pathetic when he is sick!  He just wants to lay around and he acts all sad.  God love him.
