Kids Craft Day

Today the grandkids came to do a craft project and have lunch. We made glass lanterns for everyone to hang outside in the garden, and then we had a pizza picnic in the backyard.

Everyone hard at work!

We started with a pint size glass jar (wide mouth) and the kids painted them with glue & covered them in various sizes & colors of tissue paper. After everything had dried we covered the outside with Mod Podge so they were sealed & put a wire hanger on them.

Here they are with their finished project...

We even tried them out with their candles lit in a dark room of the house...they were pretty excited to see all the different colors light up! Everyone's turned out different & unique to them!

Thanks for a fun day everyone! Love you all!!!

Our Newest Graduate

Today Gage graduated from Kindergarten. There was a wonderful program of songs about the things they had learned during the year...

and then came the big moment...receiving their caps & diploma. Gage was called up first...does that make him the class valedictorian??? I think so!

Congratulations Gage...we are so proud of you & love you!! Now on to 1st Grade!

Rainy Day

Atlee borrowed my umbrella during the rainstorm today...I was following behind her & noticed how she was using the umbrella for protection from the rain...

All I could see was her feet poking out from under the umbrella...I called to her to ask her where she was hiding and she poked her head out from under the umbrella and said, "I here"...

Atlee you can always make me smile...I love you little girl!!

Happy Birthday Gage

Who knew that 6 years could pass so quickly! This not so little boy fills my heart & soul with so much joy & happiness! Happy Birthday Gage! I love you!!
