The Weens

Thoughtful moments ... Tobias is my bouncy trouncy playful Ween but he has his moments where he settles on my lap and just watches life go by ... he always looks so deep in thought during these times. I wonder what exactly he's thinking about.

He's not my largest in the "pack" Just a hair above Tweenie status.  photo 1_zpse37cb2af.jpg

Art Stuffs



There is something to be said for art stuffs ...  pencils, pens, papers of all different textures.. hell color crayons make me happy. 

The need to reach in, choose a color and let your imagination go wild on a blank sheet of paper.. Overwhelming.

Just might have to sit and doodle a dachshund today.   ;)

Suncatchers

When boredom strikes during Summer vacation the internet is a lovely tool to find something interesting to do when it's just a touch too warm outside to play.

Pony Bead Suncatchers.. I'd rate them as EASY .. my 6 & 11 year old girls loved putting the beads into the molds, time from start to finish for us was approx 1 hour.  My only suggestion is have a drill handy if you do not have a metal bead to create a hole or want to string them together as I did.  Oh and a couple fans to air the kitchen.  Plastic is stinky while it's melting.  This is an open window project for sure.
