Art Day with Aunt Gwen/The Pink Lady

S was not so into it. I'm not sure why.

J making his watercolor.

The whole group.

K was very precise. She calls me "Pink Lady", which I love!

Niece S creating her watercolors.

FYI Crayola watercolors are the BEST! Totally worth the extra money.

M, being the oldest, actually listened to the directions.

Her parents would be shocked!

I love the concentration!

Finished art project.

My art piece. I like it, very colorful.

I already have a list of close to one hundred new art/craft projects for next summer.

Maybe I should homeschool, and then the boys and I could have art day everyday.

I'm sad that the summer is coming to an end. I will miss the boys, not the fighting, but the closeness.

I'll Take It!

I found this ribbon website, Renaissance Ribbons, and want it all! What to do? What to create?

Play Date: Junk Art

With one years worth of saved "good" junk, I let the kids have at it! All the kids brought was their own roll of masking tape and great imaginations.

K was making a painted glittery stick.

E made wet felt marbles

They all ate alot of lunch. Being creative makes you hungry!

Next time we are doing a Jackson Pollock inspired art day.

Fun with Aunt Gwen

S, all smiles

A flash of M

Making these scarves was sooooo easy. Three Kool aid packets, water, vinegar and the microwave! The kids loved doing it so much, we ran back to the grocery store to get more Kool Aid for next weeks fun day.

Creativity Crew

It rained this morning, so the mosquito's are out in force. The boys played outside for awhile, but came in because of bugs. Now they are on the sun porch creating...... ah, actually I have no idea what they are making, but they are sure having a great time. I save all the good trash, egg cartons, berry boxes, plastic tubs, tubes, ribbon, etc., then hand each kid a roll of masking tape. They have been playing with this stuff for hours!
