To help the kids know what to expect for the summer (and yes, for my sanity too) we have designated days for certain activities. I'm such a teacher, true, but one week down and I have to say it has really worked out well. Mondays are now "Make-It Mondays" and that is the day we stay home and make something. Braxton has already asked what we'll make next week and I told him we could bake. This past Monday we painted. I received a gift card to one of the local craft stores from one of my students and went and bought canvases, paint, and brushes. I set them up in the garage and let them go at it.
It was already hot even with both bay doors open but by the time this project was complete, I was sweating. They had such a good time and we're just excited to do whatever they wanted. I plan on hanging these up. I'm sure one day they will appear more beautiful than I already see them. And be more valuable to me too.
(They're not for sell so don't even ask : ))
Is that M&M jar still beside your door? Mck looks like she is eyeing it!
