New outlook and stained skin!

I was thinking... A blog is where I can post about anything that is on my mind... so why do I have to wait until I get an inspirational photoshoot to blog! I decided that I am going to blog when I want to talk about something in more words than facebook will allow. Just a heads up - most of the time it is going to be about my daughter - Hey! I spend all day everyday with her! She is my happiness and whole world so naturally I have so much to say about her! So, now that I have warned you...

This is my daughter, Joslyn. You met her in the first post I ever wrote. Aaaand this was our awesomely colorful day! I broke out the recipe for homemade edible finger paint (Thank you Pinterest) laid out some bulletin board paper on the driveway, got out a big piece of drawing paper and let her go to town! I tried this "paint" to see how it tastes (I try everything she eats... I just like to know.) Well... It was so gross! She couldn't get enough of it though! She ate more than she painted, I am sure of it! Honestly, I don't think she wasn't even aware that she was supposed to be putting the colorful stuff on the paper rather than in her mouth!

Really the only time she was aware of the paper was when it crumpled up underneath her as she was crawling to the next color. Also, when clean up began and I moved the paint bowls away from her - she decided she was still hungry and would eat the painting itself. :)

Let me tell you how fun the clean up process was... First of all the, "how do I get her to point A (the driveway) to point B (the tub) with out getting this paint all over me?" Answer - there is no way, just scoop them up and go. So, the lovely people that pinned the paint recipe on Pinterest failed to include that it will stain your skin! My daughter looked like Violet from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You know, when she eats the gum and turns into a blueberry! Haha - The next day it faded a little and it was the funniest thing, when I would take her diaper off where her diaper was, was white as can be but she had a reddish tint to her skin on her tummy and legs - it looked like a sunburn!

 I have decided to try to do one fun thing a week with Joslyn. Last week was painting and this week... is painting too - but she can't eat this paint! We are making a family painting to hang in the living room! I will most definitely post photos of it when we are done! Next week... I am thinking Busch Gardens! She loves LOVES the bird sanctuary. If not for her I would have never stepped foot in it, ick! It does make for some great photos though. I am just glad I am the one with the camera cause the photos of me would not be very pretty - especially if a bird landed on me. So stay tuned for not just posts about my photo sessions but also my life! <3
