Cut the bottom off a plastic bottle and use an elastic to secure a piece of terry cloth around the open bottom part.  Dip in bubble solution (2 parts soap to 1 part water works wonderfully!) and watch as huge bubble snakes appear!

Modern Art Sculptures: plastic swirly straws, styrofoam cups, and air dry clay

Sometimes these moments just write themselves.....

The conversation behind the pictures:

Brenna, holding up a ziploc with around 2 tbsp of liquid in it: "Wow!  Look at how much lemon juice is left from my apples!"

Christy: "That is a lot, that's to keep them from going brown, yeah?"

Brenna: "My dad does it.  I think he put in more than usual this time."

We all look at the juice for a few moments....can you see where this is going and you know it's not going to be the children to suggest it, don't you?

Christy, in possibly not my best moment ever: "You should TOTALLY drink it!!!"

Brenna: "OK!!!!"

Christy: "No wait!  Hold on!  Not yet!!"

Brenna: "Oh, you're going to get the camera, aren't you?  You want pictures!"

Christy: "Of course I do."

"marking blocks" with Ashlyn!

FORTS ARE FUN!!!!

Riley: "Mom!  Can I go get the blankets from my room?!"
Me: "Um....sure. Why?"
Carter: "Forts!!"
Me:  "Fly at 'er, boys."

Sometimes forts can just wear a person out...
