red yellow black white red yellow black white the colorful catchall of our life thursday january 9 2014 i ve moved helloooo out there boy has it been a while or what i have moved sites you can now find me www katiemize blogspot com it had been so very long since i have last posted and with all that 2013 brought with it i just needed a blank slate and a fresh start at the new site you ll find the same family and the same shenanigans the journey continues please join me katie posted by katie at 7 41 pm no comments wednesday december 19 2012 wrapping paper and snowscapes this year we ve tried out some of the crafts over at the creative christmas countdown as i ve said in an earlier post it s been good for me to have intentional craft baking christmas cartoon watching etc time with the kids this season can get away from all of us so being intentional in this area has been great as a reminder to slllooowww dowwwwnnn we have used some of the ideas as inspiration and some as is it has been fun and very low stress including decorating wrapping paper with acrylic paints in the floor of our galley kitchen we had paint in lots of places but i got it all cleaned up before daddy got home i am slowly learning that a mess is worthwhile if i m enjoying my children and life i d rather have a little bit of a mess than be high strung and snappy because my house doesn t look the way i feel like it should i feel like i am learning this lesson over and over again guess that means i haven t mastered it yet no worries we bought craft paper and used acrylic paints and cookie cutter to stamp christmas y designs this is where is got crazy we hand stamped the paper and it was all over hb zeke did a great job staying relatively clean but hb eh eh my freak out moment was when i found some in her hair because as you know her hair is glorious but time consuming to clean and style i don t have time for acrylic paint in afro puffs another day we used very watered down mod podge to paint white tissue on the window for the little gel penguins and snowmen to play on easy cheap and very easy to clean up i failed to take an after picture whoopsy on a side note i love that hb is wearing footie pajamas she loves those things and they re just so darn adorable posted by katie at 5 10 am no comments wednesday december 5 2012 creative christmas 2 and just plain merriness i have been wanting to make these for a couple of years and just haven t gotten around to it until this year cinnamon applesauce ornaments i made them when i was in first grade and they still smell cinnamony so we did it it was super easy festive and our house smelled amazing here s hb helping roll out the cinnamon dough crazy how applesauce and cinnamon are all you need for the recipe note zeke in the background eyeing a bag of red hots we are addicted to them around here here s our finished project what do you think linc i love how the kids are so into christmas this year i love that zeke was so eager to help decorate the tree and asked all day to hang the star i love that our tree is full of fun hallmark ornaments and that the kids think they are so very fun and hang them in clumps at the bottom of the tree my fabulous sister did something really wonderful for us this year she made an advent ornament set for us each day we open up an ornament that she made with one of jesus names on it read a verse and hang it up she made 26 ornaments in all and they are all so wonderful i have such an amazing family the joy boy happily looking on the moose is four months old this merry week i cannot believe it it s just going too fast i could just eat him up he is so very yummy posted by katie at 11 42 am 1 comment sunday december 2 2012 creative christmas countdown we are attempting to get our craft on this christmas emphasis on the attempting i am totally addicted to pinterest and love trying out the things i find on there whether it s recipes crafts clothes or going to my ha board when i need a good laugh i found this blog via pinterest that sends you easy crafts to do with your kids during christmas time this sounded like a good idea for me since i am trying to spend more intentional time with z and hb since the moose has come home to us so here s our first one cute little gingerbread men decorated by the kids a sparkly princess one and a ninja turtle one ha i love it i told them to go stand behind their gingerbread people so she did that s funny and yes that is a santa suit zeke is dressed up in posted by katie at 11 35 am no comments happy birthday hb can t believe this little girl is 4 she is sassy so loving to her family has such a cute voice is brave and fearless gushes joy and has such a sensitive heart which at her age comes out in the form of whines and tears a whole lot what the lord has reminded me of lately is she will not likely grow up into a whiny emotional mess of a girl but instead one full of compassion and passion who learns what to do with all those emotions i have had to learn and am still learning how to do that and i can see how the lord is using hb to tweak that side of me through my emotion full daughter so privileged to get to be her mama posted by katie at 11 11 am no comments monday november 12 2012 october was awesome so here s why i have to keep this blog up i went to a site called blog2print and made all my past posts up through 2011 into a book it is such a great keepsake this blog really is a journal of our life full of little moments those little moments just blur into oneness for me until i look back at that book and remember the good bad and the ugly times we ve been through it is a space for comic relief during the crazy moments of motherhood where i take note in my mind to take a picture and write about it instead of pulling my own and someone else s hair out case in point of this is a picture you ll soon see of hb jumping out of a window lawd without further adieu to the pictures already lady look at that cutie here s what s so adorable about this picture besides the adorably plump face in it we made the same shot with z five years ago love it i am not so big on halloween but we have to do something since z dresses up 365 days a year so we go to fall festivals and if we go to multiples z s costumes are different it s just so hard to decide who to be hb was all kinds of happy about being a carebear ha my mom and dad have some super fall fallen foliage say that three times fast which always allows the good times to roll leaves in the face boo ya love those leaves but not in the hair ohhh no that s why hb has on her hat protect the hairstyle curly hair does not like crumpled crunchy leaves yes here we are again preparing for another fall festival but we have a different avenger captain america and the hulk check out those tiny tattered pants so pretty that s not any ordinary wall of pillows that s a beaver dam my friends nothing says imaginative play like building a beaver dam in the den how can you make pizza without the proper uniform good thinking hb oh looka there another pair of avengers note the little lady thor s left eye is ever so slightly puffy that s because the previous day at the clemson game a yellow jacket stung her on her temple for real blasted bee the joy boy is full of smiles and chuckles he is yummy this is how the little fella and i travel around a lot i love it and so does he i love snuggling this little moose ooooh nice rock z purposefully dressed like an apple with the whole green and red thing of course he did he is so themed it cracks me up what s that in mid air oh that s just my daughter jumping out of a six foot window no biggie waiting in line for those delicious apple cider donuts they are worth every bit of that 45 min wait these two can sure drive me bonkers but i wouldn t trade my life for any other i love getting to have them around they teach me they keep me centered on the important things like saying i m sorry laughing hard playing and having fun and extending kindness whether it s deserved or not and because of the grace of god he saw it fit that i get to teach them too it s pretty amazing and i am thankful posted by katie at 8 19 pm no comments saturday august 25 2012 some pics of our new normal he s soooo yummy science experiment clearly very into wearing all types of goggle we are doing pretty good adjusting to the stork s delivery the hardest part is adjusting to the high needs of a newborn while meeting the needs of two preschoolers two adults and the house the house ha i laugh at that that s the least of my concerns these days posted by katie at 6 07 pm no comments tuesday august 14 2012 let s backtrack for a moment so much has happened since zeke s birthday on august 2nd but i don t want to just skip past it zeke s 5 yr old super hero birthday party was a smash hit it was fun and funny complete with plenty of super heroes super hero obstacle course training super food villain smackdown tag and swimming at a comic book store here in greenville i found old comic books for 1 a piece and made them into placemats for party favors they also made great penants which hung around as decoration but we didn t capture those i had so much fun putting together this party but even more fun pretending to be the general overseer of the heroes in training i mean i m starting to think z likes to be in character so much because of a nurture thing not a nature thing my sis made these awesome cupcakes my favorite ones were the spiderman ones so impressive last year she made incredible kung fu panda ones just saying if you ever need someone to bake some super yummy homemade cupcakes and decorate them adorably she s your gal we also ate wonder dogs corn dogs power bombs grapes pop corn spiderman berries strawberries bat cutouts of cheese it was fun coming up with themed food i made some green colored ice cubes to make it super hulky super heroes coming face to face hulk smash those hulk fists from aunt ya ya yee were a hit supers preparing for training on the obstacle course the supers trained by shooting repulsor blasts at the target silly string swung and climbed like spiderman flew up the mountain climbed up the ladder to asgard the treehouse and slid back down to earth though the clouds balloons used the hulk fists to smash a balloon balanced our way across a beam like black widow leaped over tall buildings like superman me too me too hit the bullseye like hawkeye would threw shields into the sand pit like captain america and then we played pin the shield on captain america per wonder boy s zeke request every boy had a name here you see danger davis being spun around hmmm not exactly the right place danger davis then a villain known as the riddler escaped from prison and the supers had to use their skills they d been sharpening to track down and capture the villain using water balloons of justice for this post i tried to pick the best pictures of cmize flailing his body around defeat love this picture with all our 4 and 5 year old supers captain america popsicles just soaking it all in it was a 5th birthday to remember posted by
