I have decided to try adopting the Sunday update to talk about what we have been up to this week as a family. But don't think that I will hesitate to show you if the kids do something funny, crazy or messy during the week. My family tends to check in here on Sundays so I thought this might be nice for them.
First the project dominating William's extra hours this week is yard destruction/construction. Yes, you see right he has been killing the grass in this area. She that dirt area in the corner? That is where he planted the garden with Matthew's help. And the rest will be filled with bark and then we will move playground area over there.
Then we can reclaim this grass and patio area. Seems like a simple project but did you know it is actually hard to kill grass and remove it, at least to some degreeWe all discovered the wonder of gesso this week. You can paint this stuff on any fabric shape and it is like painting on canvas! We have had a good time with projects made with this method..
These are some dolls Brittany and Matthew made with one of Brittany's new(yeah!) friends. I am going to show you some I am working on next week.
Brittany is excited to have the new Fablehaven book and has spent a good portion of her weekend just like this.
Matthew is really thrilled with the new Scooby Doo dvd I bought for a bribe to get us all throught the enrichment planning meeting I had to have this morning with Dad gone. And yes, he assembled that ensemble he is wearing himself after church!
And Joshua has mastered the use of the word "Eeeeeeew!" Joshua are you stinky? "Eeeeeew" Joshua did you spill your drink? "Eeeew!" Josh, did you fall in the mud? "Eeeeeew!" The possibilities are endless, and so far the cuteness hasn't worn off yet. Wow, he could really win a scary baby contest with this picture couldn't he?!
The father of the house left this morning for the week. So check back in to see if I have totally lost it! We did have fun yesterday working in the yard and then going to Fudruckers for dinner. My kids thought the cheese sauce for dipping your fries in was the greatest thing ever!
I am hoping to get bunches of creating done and get some more nesting dolls in the shop by the end of the week!
