What I'm working on today

OMG why would I give him glitter?

Yes, I gave my two and three year olds a bottle of glitter.

It was a crazy mess.

But... they loved it!

And I needed to vacuum anyway... 

I cut strips of paper about five or six inches long and an inch or so thick.

I put a line of glue on the strip and let the boys pile on sequins and little jewels.

Then they added a few shakes of glitter, and we let them dry.

Then I cut slits toward the end of both sides, and folded them into fish.

Our "fish tank"

Little Yellow Hands

Boy, do they ever love paint.

Especially when they get to use their hands!

I mean, who doesn't love that?

He could literally paint all day.

We all loved the end result - Hand print Lions!

Everyday since Gavin has "showed you sumpin" - he's so proud of his artwork!

Admittedly, the eyes he drew are kind of creepy, but that's what he likes!

And Jared just likes to color.

"An elephant eats.... guys?"

Today has been good so far, despite Jared having a cold, and I can feel one coming on. 

We woke up and made our art project for the day!

Dog puppets! 

I just cut out shapes of construction paper, and the boys glued them on to a paper bag. The colored it with brown marker to make fur. Gavin is in love with his and appropriately named him "doggy". Jared, as usual, liked making it, but then couldn't care less. 

Then, the boys were a little wild so we went outside to play. The weather is so great this time of year, you can still wear t shirts, but you don't sweat! The only downside is that my flowers are coming to an end.  I will miss them!

We went inside (after Jared scraped both of his knees and his foot) and made puppy chow! I've never made it myself, but I had it so many times as a child. Boy, did the little guys love that! Jared could not stop eating it.  While we made it, we went over what animals eat which turned into a funny game where Gavin would just call out anything he could think of instead of the real word, and then laugh uncontrollably.
