Lifting little weight

Okay so maybe the weight isn't being lifted just held up. It still counts as leg work though right? We are hanging out in the kitty corner of doom! Just like in any house with little kids the soft squishy things that Livy is allowed to play with are on the bottom shelf. She is a well behaved little thing, but sometime even the best behaved can be curious little creatures. Livy is like her Auntie Phire, she adores kitties. I may have had some fun playing the Little Llama gacha machine at The Gacha Garden. You should go forth and get your kitty on too.

New Year with the family

How does one ring in the new year with a little kid. Well if it anything like here it means the adults are ready for bed by 10 pm. while the little person is bouncing off the walls. My sister and I were happy to power through to the ball drop and as the lower so did the Livy's energy levels. We all finally crashed for the night getting the first sleep of the New Year. The next morning, as much as I was in need to coffee, I made some "fancy" hot chocolate for Livy. Not to worry there was also a pot of coffee brewing in the kitchen.

While we were all together I thought I would set up my camera to take a photo of the three of us together. It doesn't happen often that we are all together for more than a little while so I wanted to save the moment.

Hopefully there will be more family time in the new year. Maybe that will be my resolution this year...

On the Naughty List

There are some things that just do not fly in my world. One of those things was having a younger sibling. I mean here I am going along as an only child for what felt like ages. Then along comes a little sister. What a pain! I tried my best to be nice. I hung stockings with her and told her all about how Santa would fill them with sweets and treats.

See a sweet sisterly moment, until something happened. She annoyed me so much I started to tease her. I mean it was all in good fun. Of course she could take a joke, so she told our parents. Look it wasn't that bad!

I was only holding her present out of reach. Who hasn't done that to a younger sibling or two before? It's like an older sibling rite of passage or something. I didn't take getting tattled on too well, I know that I was a little extreme in my response, but I was young and emotional. Besides Santa can always use more elves right?
Sure now I may slightly regret it, but hey I am making it up be being a super awesome aunt to her kid. I must have a guilty concious.

Always Thankful for Family

A while ago I took my niece Livy to her grandparents cottage, and while we were there I thought it would be a good idea to take some Thanksgiving themed pictures because I wasn't sure I would see her for the holiday. And because I am all about cheesiness I made sure we had matching outfits. I will not even begin to describe the amount of shapewear I had to wear underneath to get this dress to fit. What can I say the only matching outfits I could find were in the kids department. Once I was trussed up and dressed like a turkey we headed outside to take some pictures. I got the camera all set up on the tripod and angled as best I could. I then scooped Livy up in to my arms and told her to say cheese. It seems the little trickster didn't like my smile and helped "fix" it.

She is just a laugh a minute I tell ya. I thought it would be good for Livy to write down what she was thankful for on an easel I found in the shed. I handed her a piece of chalk and got to setting up the camera for another picture. When I first walked over after adjusting the camera I saw she was thankful for candy. I asked her if there was anything else she was thankful for, knowing there was only one answer I was looking for. She listed a few other things before landing on the one I wanted to see. It's nice to know where family ranks on the list!

Fixing a Koala Nightmare

Every once in a while I take my adorable niece Livy to her grandparents cabin for a get away. It's a little cabin full of older furnishing and stuff my parents felt the need to keep. In one of the bedrooms sit a koala bear that I got as a graduation gift ages ago. Someone saw my cute bear and thought it would be funny to tell Livy about drop bears! Now she is terrified of the sweet bear sitting upon the chair. I think she envisions this when she looks at my poor bear.

Tonight when she was all ready for bed she covered her eyes trying to hide from the koala.

Since she was so terrified I decided to make up a little story to help her fall asleep and maybe forget about the whole drop bear thing...

Once upon a time there was a smart koala named Klaude. He lived in a house very similar to this one. He was a sneaky little koala and like to sneak out of bed at night and head to the kitchen to look for sweet treats.

After sneaking a treat he would head outside to find his friend Botti the black bear.

Botti was an avid painter so he would always talking to Klaude about colors and shapes, but inevitably their conversations always devolved into talk of food. This is usually the point where Klaude bid a fond farewell to his friend and headed back indoors. Klaude would climb up into his favorite chair and drift off to sleep, just like you should be. Maybe my own Klaude will have some adventures tonight protecting you from nightmares.  The End
With the story told Livy peacefully drifted off to sleep and there were no nightmares had that night.

Flight Training

Every little witch needs to learn to fly, so in this part of the world flight training begins in preschool.

The teachers only let the kids get so high and of course are equipped with spells to safely bring the little darlings down should there be a mishap. The kids are taught proper take off and landing techniques and  how to hover. They don't learn more advanced things until they are much older. Most of the teachers are very good and pay close attention to their charges. However there are always a few who could work on their attention giving...

Daydreaming, while more than enjoyable, is really not the best thing to do when you have small beings in your care, especially if they are just starting their flight training. You know what is bound to happen when full attention is not paid.

Exactly, someone is going to have a broom accident. I am happy to report that the little witch in training was not hurt at that the daydreaming was given a different assignment. She can't do too much damage in the gardens...right?

Last of the tomatoes

With the end of the summer came the end of home grown tomatoes. I enlisted the help of Livy to pick all the bright red tomatoes from the vines. She prefers cherry tomatoes because she can pop them in her mouth and bite them, sending tomato insides flying everywhere.

Livy of course decided that walking the short distance to the house. She was also reluctant to give up the tomato she picked. I think she wanted to keep it forever, which would have been really gross after a while. We hauled all the tomatoes into the kitchen and got to work.

We started making some tomato sauce and to help out I asked Livy to stir all the spices in a bowl. I mean I couldn't let her near the stove that would just be an accident waiting to happen. In the end I finished making quite a few jars of tomato sauce. Soon we will use it in some tasty dinners, maybe I will even make pizza from scratch as a treat.

Livy's Diner

I got the honor to watch my little niece Livy the other night. Her parents needed an overnight sitter and I got the honor. Right before bedtime she wanted to show me the new diner playset that her parents bought her. And of course as with and imaginative little kid she wanted to make me something tasty to eat in her diner. Being a well trained chef she made sure she washed her hands before cooking anything.

As you can see I am rocking some cute sheep slippers, but they are nothing compared to the ones Livy wore. After washing her hands she hit the fridge to get some pretend food out to cook me her latest culinary creation.

Do you see those little dragon feet slippers she is wearing? You know you wish you had your own dragon slippers don't ya? Anyway I must say that Livy runs the best pretend diner with the tastiest pretend food creations ever. Hey I am an Aunt I am allowed to say that.

Fruit Not Lollipops!

Have you ever tried to reason with a toddler? It never ends well, someone always ends up in tears and it is usually the adult. This is what happened recently when I tried to have a healthy treat time with my adorably stubborn niece Livy. You see I went through all the work of making, fine buying, a whole bunch of yummy fruity treats for us to have in a little backyard afternoon camp out. Sorry you won't catch me actually sleeping under the stars unless you could a skylight. However a certain small someone had other ideas, specifically some lollipops. I still am baffled about where she pulled those from. I mean here I spent good money on a cute watermelon grill and tons of fruit kebabs. I thought she would love eating them. She obviously likes to eat fruit flavored things on sticks, just not actual fruit.

I took a little breather to try and recoup and not lose my marbles. I finally thought up a compromise that did the trick. She got to eat one lollipop, but only after she ate some fruit, either on a skewer or in a popsicle form. I may have also promised she could have one for dessert after we ate dinner later in the night. I think next time she gets dropped off I am going to have to search her for candy contraband.

Time Out Troublemaker

My adorable little niece Livy has been visiting me a lot lately. I thought I would make a cute little space in my house for her to enjoy, a small play area complete with some space for me to chill and watch her.

Of course as with all kids she caused a little mischief so I needed to put her in time out. Even the fun Aunt needs to have some rule. She was less than thrilled with me.

After her time out we had a brief review of the rules and then some cookies. Cookies make everything better. I may have also promised her a trip to the beach in the future.

That is my newest title. Who knew all I had to do was ply Livy with all sorts of cute treats and she would declare me "Best Auntie Ever". Lets see what is I make for Livy?

No one needs to tell her that I snuck a couple with my coffee this morning.

Violetta's Adventure

Earlier I introduced you to Violetta and as I alluded her story wasn't over. You see she was scooped up by that tornado and brought to a whole new world. Well it was new to her and she was scared stiff. So stiff that someone mistook her for wall art and sold her! Suddenly she was hanging up in some strange little creatures living quarters.

After a bit of a struggle Violetta was able to free herself from the wall and decided to explore the strange place that she ended up. The thing the little creature slept on was very soft and it seemed to make her happy. She then found this table with all sorts of things that made marks, she she drew pictures that reminded her of her own home.

The pictures that she drew made Violetta extremely homesick and she longed to get back home. The new land was interesting for a time, but Violetta had no desire to stay. She walked over to where the small creature slept and whispered goodbye.

Violetta wasn't certain that the little sleeping creature heard her, but she didn't waste any time waiting to find out. Violetta snuck out the window and caught a breeze, hoping that it would take her home since the tornado brought her there to begin with. She did eventually land at home, but she floated over many different and to her exotic lands. Some were hot, some were colorful, other were wet, but the one that got her attention the most was the one that was frozen over.

Mean Auntie Phire

It's that time of year again when my little niece Livy comes to visit me while her parents take off on a vacation. After last when I nearly fell down the stairs tripping on her toys I was a little more strict with clean up time. I know it's mean, but I value my limbs and their state of unbroken-ness.

I am not a slave driver I promise. I may have made sure she got every spot on t he rug, but she did get a treat afterwards.

See I am not a taskmaster. I rewarded her hard work with a big ol' ice cream cone. She wasn't exactly in the sharing mood, not that I can really blame her.

Sisterly love or something

I had the girls over to visit this weekend and they were upstairs playing in their castle making paper chains. What can I say it's an inexpensive activity and makes for some cute decorations. Sure call it child labor if you want to, but I paid them in cupcakes. At least I thought I did. I sent Livy upstairs with a cupcake for her and her sister, and this is what I caught her doing while her sister waited!

That little stinker licked both cupcakes! She knew her sister would never want to eat a licked cupcake. She learned all about germs at school and never wanted to get her icky little sister's germs. I took her downstairs for her own lick free cupcakes and she went back upstairs to play after she was all done. A little later I went upstairs because it got a bit too quiet. Anyone who has ever been around kids knows quiet equals trouble.

I guess she was trying to exact her revenge. You can see Livy is just so upset by this whole thing. She knows I would never let her sister give her away, and that her mom would be there soon to get her anyway. I think I need a vacation after a weekend with those two!

Once upon a time there were two sisters. One was serious and studious and never had any fun while the younger was full of energy and loved to play. The younger one may have been wiser beyond her young years.

The younger was always trying to get her sister have some fun. Finally one day she convinced her sister to head down to the kitchen and raid some treats.

The little sister finally got her older sister to loosen up and play with her.

Now they are Super Sisters!

The Woodcutter's Family

Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood, but did you know the Woodcutter had a family of his own? He had a loving wife and an adorable daughter that he fiercely protected. They lived in a little cottage in the woods not to far from Red Riding Hood's grandmother.
After saving Red's life the Woodcutter mounted the wolf head as a reminder to his family to always be careful in the woods. His daughter grew up hearing tales of her father's daring rescue of the scared girl. He even carved her a cute little wooden playset that she spent hours playing with.
The Woodcutter's daughter looked up to her father like he was the most super of all heroes. Tomorrow we will take a look at how she grew into a fine young lady.

Get Spooky

Halloween is approaching so I am giving it a big hug! I went to the Color Me Monthly Market again because this months color is black. Prefect for a spoookie oookie Halloween look.
The grown ups in your life can get a picture for the wall or a big black kitty to decorate the house with...or you can get the kitty 'cause there is a snuggleable version too!
There are some spooky shoes to be had too! I know Miss Phire wore some the other day, but hers were stars and mine are awesome spidery webs. So if you want to be a cutie spookie like me here is your shopping list.

A day at the lake

I took myself out to a lake for a little rest and relaxation. A little row around in the crisp autumn air on a sunny day is quite invigorating. Once we got to land again I heard the unmistakable sound for frogs, so I thought it would be fun to try and catch one. I happen to love frogs, mini me on the other hand not to much.
She got a little startled by the frog in her face, maybe next time I should start with something small like a red-eyed tree frog. Or maybe take her to see some colorful poison dart frogs.

Peachy Livy

As I mentioned last week I was going to use kid me to do some posts every now and again and here one is. I took Livy to the Color Me Monthly Market to pick some some cuteness. I mean what is the point of having kid me if she isn't cute? September's color is peach, which is pretty close to pink, a color Phire doesn't like, however in kiddo form pink isn't so bad. I grabbed this cute dress and owl stuffie from the market, but there is still more there they I didn't get. Mostly because Livy doesn't exactly have a place to call home so she doesn't need any decor items.
The boots and socks Livy is rocking are from gacha machines. There are so many cute things for kids that come out of gacha machines it's insane! Oh if you are curious the color for October's Color Me Monthly Market is going to be black! So big or little you need to make sure you check it out!
