Asher asked if he could spend the night last night. As a result, we had a craft day this morning to keep them busy. The first project I quickly thought up lasted as long as it took me to think it up... NOT LONG ENOUGH! Here's a pic of the finished product inspired by March and the hope for warm weather.
Next, I decided to get a little braver. I used to do this all the time with my daycare children but then it wasn't my own house to clean up afterward. I let the kids make playdough. Yes, we have the store bought kind, but I was really looking for something the two of them haven't experienced before. It was definately a hit! They had a great time pouring the ingredients and then, with a little help from me, mixing them all together. After they were finished, I let them each choose a color and then I mixed that in for fear of stained hands (kitchen gloves are great!). I have a feeling Asher has determined that Brit Brit's house = arts and crafts. Every time he comes over I ALWAYS find something for them to do. It makes them happy and quiet (for a few minutes) and, in turn, me happy as well!
