This Is Embarassing

Here I thought it had only been a couple of months that I'd neglected the blog.  Don't I feel sheepish to find it's been a LOT longer.  Well, let me update with a few posts...they'll come out a few days from each other.  Now, where were we...?  Last entry was in early July...

Ahhhh...summer projects will be the first entry...

  

I decided that a summer without anything to do would just be too long and BORING for everyone involved.  So...since there are some life skills that seem to be missing these days, I'd introduce them to the kiddos and see what happened.

  

We broke up the week into different "events" and one of those days happened to be a sewing day.  We started with fabric coasters and moved to treasure bags and then to Stuff-tees (drawn animal shapes stuffed with poly-fil).  The kids did some really great work with these!

 

We also had an art day which varied in medium from chalk, Play-doh, and even fondant.  The kids shaped, molded and colored some pretty cool art pieces.  They were very proud.

Just turn your monitor...hah!

  But it was a successful summer and we will probably do some of it again next year!
