Yesterday was a Teacher In Service day in our school district. The kids were grounded from Playstation and the computer (issues the previous evening with not doing their chores 1st). So, we had craft day. I didn't even start the idea, it just kinda came to be. LOL
Jarod was in his room, quietly making army men into star wars characters using TP for capes. He then started drawing, which is really becoming a good thing for him to express himself. He got out a turtle sun-catcher and drew it really well.
Wednesday evening, Jordan and I made "Congo Squares". He made them in his "facts" class at school and has been wanting to make them at home for a few weeks now. I almost fell over when I realized he was putting in over 2 cups of brown sugar! ACK. They are good, but wow!
So then Meghan and I worked on her sewing a bit and she made a "wish pillow". Michaels sold little $1 "build-a-bear kits" a little while ago. I had stashed them, and recently pulled them out.
Jordan got a dog food tray for Christmas, a year or two ago... and decided he would paint it up for Lucy and Dash. I loved his creativity & I am so proud of the job he did. I was also proud of myself for letting him do his own thing on it.
This week we had a hail storm/"is it snowing" moment. My seeds are patiently waiting in their little trays for the weather to decide to stay warm. We have been enjoying time with the puppy. Dash's favorite game to play has always been keep-away. Well... he is teaching the puppy now too. When he decides he has played tug-of-war enough, he jumps on the couch with the toy and taunts Lucy. Funniest thing ever, but yes we make him get down. LOL
