Well, summer has been chugging along, filled with pools, splash pads, day trips, long trips, a mom and dad trip (sans kids!), and tons of time to play.<\/p>\n

And since most of you could relate to my meltdown<\/a> last month, I thought I should give you an update….we had a success!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd we went a little Bird crazy.<\/p>\n

We took your advice and bought Sculpey Clay and finally, finally built a proper Luke.\u00a0 We (I mean, Casey.\u00a0 I was still burnt out), threw Luke in the oven and he came out perfect and Angry Bird-ly.
\nHooray!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd with the rest of the original modeling clay, Lucy and Owen spent days molding tons of characters.\u00a0 Lucy made another Leia (above. I love it), Owen made Mace Windu, the original Luke (before he was a Jedi—big difference), K-3PO (a white droid similar to C3PO—we’re getting into real nerd territory here), and on the far right a sculpture of Lucy.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nClay has become the sophisticated Playdough.
\nAnd everybody’s happy.<\/p>\n

Owen was invited to a friend’s birthday party last week so I got my Angry Bird on as well.
\nThe theme of the party was Star Wars Angry Birds….and it was for a girl!
\nLove that combo.
\nSo I made a Basic Pocket Tote<\/a> to hold library books, toys, whatever a 5 year old needs:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI printed and ironed Leia to the pocket using THIS<\/a>, which I read about on Cirque du bebe<\/a> and Caila Made<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s basically really high quality iron-on paper.\u00a0 It doesn’t replace Freezer Paper stenciling for me but has some really cool advantages.\u00a0 And the jury’s still out on it; I’m still experimenting.\u00a0 So I’ll post more details\/ideas down the road.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd…
\nJust when my kids were getting tired of clay, THESE<\/a> cool blocks showed up in the mail from the ladies at Caravan Shoppe<\/a>:\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThey’re so fun.\u00a0 They’re called Olliblock Mix Mates<\/a> with tons of character combos.\u00a0 The kids had fun mixing them around, making the blocks talk to each other, and then they got really excited when they discovered….baby fox and baby frog!\u00a0 “Mom, just take out the middle block and you can make baby ones!”
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nClevah, clevah.
\nI’ve you’ve never been to Carvan Shoppe<\/a> it’s really cool.\u00a0 They sell tons of downloadable art and other creative items. I met the shoppe creators at Alt last year<\/a> and they’re really fun down-to-earth moms trying to spread their love of art with all of us.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd right now they’re trying to get their Mix Mate Olliblocks into larger-scale production so they can sell them as finished blocks (rather than download) and reach a wider audience.
\nThey’ve got a Kickstarter<\/a> campaign going for the next 8 days….and they’re already 80% funded!\u00a0 They’re so close!<\/strong>
\nCheck out the campaign HERE<\/a>.\u00a0 And check out the video too, it’s pretty fun.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd…if you’re on instagram, you should check them out @almaloveland, @fifthandhazel, and @mikeloveland cause they’re always sharing really cool illustrator patterns under the hashtag #365patterns.\u00a0 Here’s one of my favorites by Alma, which she turned into a card! Real women wearing swimsuits….
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd that’s a random wrapup.
\nIf today’s kid-mom life goes as planned I’ll have another Shorts post for you tomorrow.
\nHave a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
