Collage Jack-o-lanterns

Red Fish

New Fish
 Now that the Holidays are coming (and by Holidays I mean Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines & Easter- they all seem to be coming already) we have started our monthly collection of foam shapes covered in STUFF. It fills up a lot of time through the month and makes everyone happy My girls seem to get great satisfaction out of the process of gluing stuff and making decorations out of foam and craft supplies.  We started with Jack-o-lanterns for October.
We got the usual jumble of stuff out to use: markers, glitter glue, foam shapes, sequins, feathers, pom poms and stickers.  New Fish is old enough to squeeze and use the glitter glue by herself now and I think she might be in love.

It has been a long day.  I decided to try having swimming lessons and speech together on Mondays so we can have a day with no appointments on Wednesdays.  It makes for a hectic day because I still have to try and squeeze in some work between running everyone around, keep everyone fed and attired for their next activity and the girls are desperate to play by the time we get done with everything.  We went out to ride bikes with friends and then I tried to settle them down with a project while dinner was cooking.  Then it is family home evening time and bath & bedtime.
