At Home Adventures with Stephen

Sometimes in the winter it takes me a long time to go on an adventure. But I am an adventurous little boy, so I do find ways to go on adventures right here at home. 

Like the day I got into the matchboxes. Mommy had a whole case of them. She said they were for her to turn into ornaments, but I found a better use for them.

See? Counting. 
You would think that my mommy would be happy that I practiced my counting, wouldn't you?
Is your mommy fussy at you when all you want to do is practice counting?

Of course I am a very gifted little boy, so I like to practice music lessons too.



Since we live in a duplex, Mommy is always telling me to practice not so loudly.
I am thinking that the neighbor lady probably appreciates musical talent more than mommy does.

Mommy did do something really cool for me, cuz even though mommy doesn't appreciate some ways of higher learning, she does see the value in learning art. So she made me an art station. 
I have been teaching my Bubba how to paint:

And since we haven't had snow this winter, I made some snow pictures for us:


And one time I even taught Sissy how to make an art project. 

I'll teach you how in a few days. 
That way when you can't get outside cuz it's too cold you can make an adventure of your own too!

A Yucky Adventure

My mommy sometimes gets these crazy ideas in her head. Like the other one day. She is always thinking that she can find things on the internet. She found this recipe for goopy stuff--then she sat me down and told me to mix it all up.

Ok, so I mixed. And mixed. And cooked. And this is what we got:

It was weird stuff. I really didn't like it on my hands. 
I mean I smiled for the camera and everything. 
(Hey, I got the look ya know...)
But I pretty much wouldn't touch that nasty white sticky goopy weird stuff.
Here you try some:

I then took matters into my own hands.
After putting my shirt back on, because lets face it, I'll have all the toddler girls in the nation wantin me after those last photos, I dug out my Crayola Magic Modeling dough. 


See, not goopy! I can even make myself a hat.
Or I can slice it into pieces.
And pretend to look really busy.

Then when mommy wasn't lookin I ran real fast and got the only kind of goopy stuff that toddlers do like on their hands.
Only I had ta be sneaky cuz mom's are good about catchin' ya with the Nutella.
