Here we go... first the toadies get faces and anything skin tone...
Then each toadie gets a diffent color hat and vest to wear... Tiny Schmoo chose four colors... the green toad will be riding a yoshi in another part of the mural...
And voila... here are the toadies with their shoes on... as you can see the paint is not even dry... but was hoping to catch our farm friend Bon Temps before she goes on her trip to Sydney. Thanks again for changing your toad into green clothes for Tiny Schmoo last time! Hope you enjoy your trip!
Remember that this is only part of the mural (about an 8th of it maybe) so I will be taking pictures as the rest of the mural progresses and will be posting the final shot of the finished mural at the end. Thanks for watching!
Welcome Farm Story friends
This blog was created for our Farm Story friends so we could share a bit of our real world with you. Much love from the Schmoos

Tiny's new bedroom mural sketch - step 1
Sorry it is not very clear but here is the sketch of part of Tiny's Schmoo's "toadie" mural. I tried to take a picture of the whole wall but then you can't see it in the photo at all (since it is in pencil.) So I will try to keep you updated and add pictures as I paint if the computer and card reader cooperate.
Tiny's Garden Update
It's Tiny Schmoo. He has been watering and taking good care of his little garden and now he is finally able to harvest some radishes and loves to eat them with ranch dressing (of course!) Guess all that pretend watering and farming on Farm Story transfered over into real life. This one seems to have a green thumb and finally found something of his own that big brother is not really in to. Hooray for radishes! Wish we could share them with you!

Check out Little and Tiny Schmoo's new favorite video on YouTube
Kirby dance 2 video on You Tube
All the Schmoo's absolutely are in love with this Kirby dance video. It is so cute we just play it over and over and over! We love the song... which is the chorus of the song Caramelldansen.
If you want to hear the entire song it is on the video for the rabbid rabbits
Rabbids love Caramelldansen video on You Tube

Summer campout in the backyard
Summer means Daddy lets us put up the tent in the backyard on Friday nights so we can have a pretend campout. Here is Tiny Schmoo with his stuffed friends. Look closely at the bottle hanging in the center of the picture. It is a lantern he painted with the solar system on it that he made from a recycled water bottle and a kit he got from the giftshop at the kid's museum we went to last weekend.
Here is Little Schmoo with his stuffed friends as well. Note Kirby and his new stuffed skunk (which also came from the children's museum - thank goodness it is not real!) And P.S. for Marketti, the skunk that used to live on the other side of our backyard wall that used to spray the area when Schmoom went outside in the morning and while it did not spray him directly... still made him smell like skunk... well it was no match for someone's car... so we don't have to worry about Chet smelling like skunk anymore!!!!!
Tiny Schmoo's poppy garden finally blooms
Tiny Schmoo planted poppy seeds this spring and they finally bloomed. We took shots every 10 to 15 minutes as they were opening in the morning. If you look closely you can see the flower slowly opening and another one appears in the last frame. We were not expecting that one to open yet! Last pic is Tiny Schmoo smelling his flowers. He is so proud of his beautiful little garden!

Santa in June... REALLY?!?!?!?!
Somehow my attempt at making the geisha car Okuni for the Cars2 smackdown challenge didn't go as planned... while some liked it, a whole bunch of people who didn't read the post thought it was Santa on summer vacation!!!!!!!!! She didn't last 24 hours. Hey Desire... did you find that magic hay clearing button yet!!!!!!!!!

"One, Two Three" a story by Tiny Schmoo
(re-spelled below by Momma Schmoo)
First was purple, purple was nice.
Then came blue, blue had a pet dog.
Then came red, red had a pack of stickers.
Then came green, green had a pack of bouncy balls.
Then came yellow, yellow had some bubble gum.
Then came orange, orange had a pencil box.
The End
Hope you like my story, I wrote it my last week of kindergarten.
Summer's finally here!!!!!
For our (formerly from) California friend: BIGREDDOG - we are finally having California summer weather!!! Kids have been running through the sprinklers in the afternoon. They have been having lots of fun after that weird round of rain in the first week of June (which for California is very unusual as you know.) My friend even had snow up at his cabin near Tahoe - Snow in June?!?!? Glad the strange weather is finally gone so we can enjoy the sunshine!

Tiny Schmoo's Teddy Bear picnic - kindergarten graduation day
Friday was graduation day for Tiny Schmoo's kindergarten class. They had a little ceremony then had a teddy bear picnic out on the grass. Lots of classmates came to share a spot on Tiny's Schmoo's picnic blanket. Tiny (sitting on the bottom left corner) brough his stuffed friends Titus (the bulldog) and Rock (the owl). Everyone had a blast! Off to first grade next year! Hooray!
Author Day for the Schmoos
Here are some pictures from Author Day at the Schmoo's school. The author Kathryn Otoshi was as sweet as can be and Momma Schmoo had a blast talking with her at the luncheon. We got our pictures taken with her for the book signing and in front of the mural mom painted for the book "Marcelo the Movie Mouse" - (got the mouse on in time! hooray!) - [remember, mouse was missing in previous post.] Also pictured is Little Schmoo's sock art project that decorated the library. And if you look closely in the background of the book signing picture, you can also see the other mural mom made for the book "What Emily Saw." the author wore matching pigtails that day. We had a blast and will never forget this day!
"Buster and River" a story by Little Schmoo
This story was written by Little Schmoo for our friend Maarketti...
"Buster and River"
One July afternoon, Buster and River were playing in the pool. When they got out they chased a duck. They went out of the yard and into the unknown. Soon they got to a river. They swam across. QUACK! Soon they got to a house with crackers. They ate and went back home. The End.
Hope you enjoy the story!
