Resist Painting

The kids had fun with an art project this week. It doesn't go with Sean's unit this week so I'm making a separate post for it. I keep seeing resist painting pop up on pinterest and decided to have the kids try it. I taped paper letters on their paper to make their name.

They also painted with a different tool, cotton balls.

Maddy is definitely my little artist. The boys were done pretty quickly. Maddy, on the other hand, was content painting for a long time.

All done!

3 in 30: September: Week 2 Update

Here's a look at my progress for September's goals:

Me- Success! While I didn't actually sew, I started cutting the squares for my quilt.
Kids- Success! Nothing as big as last week's mail date but we did have some one-on-one time.
Family- Fail...

Two successes and one fail. This week wasn't perfect but was better!

Project 52: Week 37

I've been working on updating and improving my daycare website lately. One thing I added was a section introducing our pets. It was then that I realized I didn't have any recent pictures of Annabelle, our miniature dachshund. I had to fix that! Photographing animals is just as difficult as photographing kids! Here's how it went:

I told her to sit...

Sticking out the tongue? Really!?

Add a look...

Finally! Was it really that hard to cooperate!?

Weekend Recipe: French Vanilla Creamer

One morning earlier this week the kids woke up earlier than normal so I thought I'd have a cup of coffee. Then I remembered we had to throw out the creamer that we had because of Irene. I really wanted that cup of coffee though. So I made my own creamer.

Ingredients:

14 oz Sweeten Condensed milk
14 oz Milk
2 tsp Vanilla extract

I stored the finished product in a old sauce jar. I just can't seem to throw out glass jars.
