Colour Week: Purple

Is it really the end of Colour Week already? It's been so neat just trying to spot one particular colour each day -- I always love a new photography challenge.

Purple proved to be a difficult hue to hunt down.

Gretchen is clutching one of her newly dyed playsilks!

I hope you all had a lovely week!

Colour Week: Orange

I'm crossing my fingers that today was the worst of our collective cold. This morning I woke up with a full body ache -- could barely move & wanted to sleep forever. Thankfully the boy let me sleep in (though really this just throws the whole day off, Gretchen's naps are askew and I can't get all my work done -- but the thought is nice!) Hopefully it's all downhill from here.

Now, on to the orange!

She's still a little frustrated by this octo-toy as she has yet to squeeze the legs hard enough to make a sound herself -- but LOVES when mama or daddio plays a tune.

A tiny part of the ever growing baby library. We actually own two copies of Goodnight Moon, since the first copy is rather waterlogged, but still readable. I found the 2nd for about $3 used, so I had to snatch it up!

The little one LOVES to play in the sand -- and to dump it on her feet and onto the pets. (If you're so interested, I recently reviewed this sand table on Mom Ok'd.)

Did I ever post about this toy? And the fact that it says the word "roar" instead of making the actual animal sound? I should also note that when we bought this toy (months ago) the boy set every single one in the store off at the same time. We're scene causers.

Colour Week: Green

Been moping around with a cold today -- the little one & I are stuffed up, runny nosed messes & if she's got a miserable sore throat like I do, then she's hiding it much better.

Being sick makes the day go by so slowly -- especially when the snotty babe decides that tissues, the nose sucker-outer and naps are all things she'd rather not deal with at all.

I hope you all had a less sickly Earth Day with lots of eco-happy memories! I didn't get a chance to take any new green themed pics for today's Colour Week post, but I do want to share a couple from earlier this week, if that's alright.

Happy Earth Day, mes amis!

Please forgive my tardiness -- last night a migraine struck which put me completely out of commission from about 8pm til 8am this morning. Thankfully I'm feeling quite a bit better now, so Colour Week continues!

Better late than never, oui?
