friday craft...

Yesterday Brianna and I made chicks. I found the idea on the internet (but I'm too lazy to look it up and link it right now), pretty easy, and we had all the supplies, paper plate, construction paper, yellow paint, googly eyes. You put the pieces together with a stapler, but maybe glue would work better and not be so obvious. Oh well it worked out. I made one for Bryce with his handprints as the tailfeathers (hence the reason we have two). Brianna is loving all of our craft time and LOVES to paint, it is fun letting her do these things without getting crazy about how messy she is being. This afternoon/evening we may be making some more egg carton flowers, she had a blast doing those. I also saw a craft for making flowers out of kid's handprints (I tried one with Bryce's handprint, but it may be too small to get the desired effect and I was rushing) so I'm sure we'll be trying that in the near future. And my friend Sarah just emailed me a few craft ideas that I'm anxious to try, especially painting with shaving cream and glue! Maybe that is a project for this week. If we get to it, I'll be sure to post pictures. Thanks Sarah and Holly for all of the ideas you've sent me, Brianna and I are really enjoying our time together while we do these things. Without further ado...our chicks from yesterday...

Oh my goodness, those are cute!! I may need to steal that one. :-) I have a project to make butterflies with handprints that I'm planning on trying with the girls soon. I'll be sure to show you that one. It's really cute. Ella did it at her speech appointment last week. And I really loved your egg carton flowers. We may have to do that one too. :-)

You're such a great mom! Painting and puzzle playing and all sorts of fun happens at the Carroll house! I want to live there!

Also - btw - I just realized that I gave my blog post the same title as your previous one. My bad...totally did not mean to steal your title. I hope you don't want to press plagiarism charges for "Busy Week." :)

Love you!
