It has been a while since I have updated. Life is crazy right now and having two blogs doesn’t make it any easier! I really wanted this crafting blog to work out, soooo I’m going to try harder to make it work, I can do this… really!!!
I’ve been trying to keep the kids busy this summer with crafts and fun things to do. The worst words to hear are the dreaded “I’m Bored!!” words! I just can’t stand them! There are waaay too many things in this house to even thing about those words! But, they happen and I do my best to head them off before it gets out of control
Here are a few things we’ve been up to.
We made a bird feeder out of a milk jug, the big one gallon kind. Its AMAZING! So simple and the birds go loco over it! The kind of crazy that brings on crazy bird madness! Birds were literally fighting over the thing! Love. Just pure love. The kids love to eat breakfast and stare out the back door and watch dozens of little chickadees and finches go to town. Its fairly easy on the wallet too, the cost of a gallon of milk and a big bag of seed (which has lasted us nearly three months so far!), not too bad I think.
We also did the grow some grass in a cup thing. That was really great too and it helped the kids practice their patience (which has been at an all time low lately!) We decorated clear cups with permanent markers and added our soil and seed and waited… and waited and waited some more. About a week later it all sprang up out of the blue!
Hard at work decorating their grass cups! Concentration is key…
Covered and ready to go!!!
They grew like crazy and it took just long enough to keep them interested and surprised!
That’s just a smidge of what we have been doing, more to come, I promise!
