Fun Time

My poor children have been feeling somewhat neglected lately. With all the projects and home repair we have going on right now they end up entertaining themselves a lot. I had a list of things I wanted to get started on today but decided it could wait while we had some fun time for a while.

We got our big box of craft supplies out and made a huge mess.

Ardon had asked for something to make pretend food with so he could play like he was making me dinner. I remembered this post from my sister-in-laws blog and tried to scrounge up what I needed. I don't have a working sewing machine or any felt so we used foam sheets and glue. This worked well because Ardon was able to help more with creating the food.

I did the cutting and Ardon got busy gluing.

Now we have quite and assortment, a pile of peas, bacon, chicken, fries, carrots, broccoli, eggs, tomato and spaghetti.

Then we decided to stop for a real snack, pumpkin custard, yum! It is September after all!

.

After our snack we broke out the face paint.

She had to have something to be just like brother.

.

He asked for a blue sword and wanted Elee to have a red Elmo but I thought a heart would be simpler and quicker.

.

We colored some.

.

He made spiders and spider webs.

So much activity for such a little girl. My mom stopped by for a little visit and shared some M&M's with the kids but it had no effect on her ability to fall asleep.
