Projects

We have had another few weeks of projects. Ones I didn't get pictures of is swimming and going to "Cars 3" with Grandma Arrington and some cousins from Boise. The kids loved it. I'm not sure how my friend and I could spend hours on end at the city pool; now I have a small tolerance for a pool full of people. We tried to draw using prospective. First the kids outlined their hands and feet then had to draw themselves. The kids didn't quiet get it, most of them have huge hands and arms that only are attached to half of their hands. Brad tried to show what they should do but lost focus and made a hand man. The green on Jacks' is him tooting...

We made ice cream cone smores. The added marshmallows and chocolate  and PNB chips the cooked them for a bit. They were pretty good, but way too sweet. 

We also did a project on the 4th with paint. I was going to do melting crayon art, but the more I looked into it, they less it seemed like they all would enjoy it. So we did splatter painting, which will be used when I re-do the kids bathroom. Having only one go at a time really helped it not me as messy. Emery and Jacks went first and didn't get a drop on me (I held the paint bowl), then Beck went and got paint all over my legs. 

Even though it had to be random, It was interesting to watch them try and to get the paint to go where they want. Camden seemed to have more of a method then anyone. He is more of a perfectionist when it comes to art, like his dad.  They all turned out really well, I'll show the end product with the finished bathroom.
