How Crafty

Since 0ur oldest two are home from school right now, I try my hardest to keep them entertained. I do not go out of my way to find things for them to do and I also expect that since they are a little older than the rest, they can find things to do on their own. That does not mean I haven't spent any time with Apes and Alexys. The girls and I have made chocolate covered rice crispies treats, we made a giant sized kid car wash, took on the task of making a very special Fathers Day dinner and today we are in the middle of making t-shirts for the Fourth of July. This t-shirt project is totally new for us, so we are learning what not to do as we go. I have never really thought of myself as a "Martha Stewart" type, but I can totally see Martha busting out some contact paper and making a firework t-shirt too! It's a good thing! What I am beginning to wonder is, how long does fabric paint stay on your hands? With one shirt down and four to go, or maybe I should make Matt one also, it will be fun to see what designs Apryl and Lexy come up with. Addysen said she would like a Merhorse? Not sure what that is but it doesn't sound very patriotic so I think I will help guide her in another direction!
