We Can't Wait!

 We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our spring puppies! Another excited Yesteryear Acres Doodle alumni can't wait for his new sibling to arrive, COME ON PUPPIES!!!
This sweet boy is Jack! He is one of Mango's puppies that I had the awesome privilege to train almost 7 years ago
He is such a good boy and now has two human brothers he spends his days with
And he can't wait for one little one with paws to be on the way!
Playtime awaits!
Happy WE CAN'T WAIT Puppy Monday!
Always,
Amelia

Toddler Studio Sunday

We have been so busy preparing for our little puppy paws to arrive, we haven't had any free time to create in the Y Acres Studio. Adding severe storm prep to our already long list for today, and there simply hasn't been even a second to sneak in some sewing. Hazel has been asking and asking to "Go to the Studio Mommy" and luckily Grandpa had the very best idea! He has been saving this big special box for a clubhouse, and today we quickly turned it into a Toddler Studio.
With lots of different crayons
New coloring sheets of all of Hazel's favorite things
And Y Acres Toddler Studio Clubhouse was open for business
With one VERY happy customer
Not only could she color all the pictures
But the walls of her clubhouse too!
My little visionary at work
Everywhere color!
Mommy might have helped with one picture...
Who can resist a cute dragon?!
Before slowly sneaking out of the clubhouse to continue working
Hazel would like everyone to know that "This is Chestnut neigh neigh horsey" 
One very successful creation station, happy toddler,  AND Mommy got so much work done too!
Happy Studio Sunday from the Y Acres Toddler Studio Clubhouse!
Always,
Amelia

Caturday Fun

Our little Devon Rex Kittens are really starting to love playing and exploring
It is so fun to watch their little personalities develop and grow 
"I'm going to getcha"
"Ohhh, that's very tall"
"Now I can get it!"
"Don't forget to capture my good side!"
"All sides are my good side *Wink*"
"Okay take the picture and then let me play with the feather please!!!"
"I'll get the toy after some snuggles I think..."
"Ahhh this is the life" *Smoooch*
We love you little kittens!
Happy Caturday Fun!
Always,
Amelia

Rainy Fri-Yay Toddler Fun

 When asked for the 2209858750934 millionth time to "Do bubbles Mommy. Please Mommmmmy. Bubbles please. Mommy Swing please". Where once again I explained that it is raining outside and we cannot blow bubbles in the rain... I knew it was time to find a rainy day indoor toddler activity. A quick google search and Voila! 'Unicorn Bark' became our new project.
To make Unicorn Bark, we used plain greek yogurt, vanilla paste, a little maple syrup, organic food coloring, and organic sprinkles. 
With lots of bowls and spoons for mixing our unicorn colors into our yogurt
We learned how to make the colors orange and purple!
And any spills became a delicious clean up mission by one Hazel Bea
*Slurp*
When all our colors were made, we plopped and swirled all our unicorn yogurts into a lined small cookie sheet. 
Time to clean up!
Hazel was a big fan of our indoor project
Topped with the rainbow, our unicorn bark was ready for the freezer!
Keep your fingers crossed for us that this tastes good... and that we all retain our sanity through toddlerhood on rainy days!
Happy Rainy Fri-Yay Toddler Fun!
Always,
Amelia

Pastel Deliciousness at Y Acres Studio

 Tax preparations has consumed all of our free time so the Y Acres Studio has been very quiet lately.  We missed being surrounded by color and needed to come up with a way to add a little color to our day.
Only one answer ......
Pastel M&Ms!!!!!
When time is short - M&Ms can solve any color dilemma
The hardest part is not eating them at this stage!!!
Happy Pastel Deliciousness at Y Acres Studio
