Terraniums

My husband saw this too! I am busy making, just got to remember to water!

Mercury Glass

My husband saw this project on www.instructables.com. I went out the next day in search of Looking Glass Mirror paint, which is spray paint. I took quite a while for me to work up the 'courage' to spray something. It was fast and it was simple! I think it looks great! I bought three medium/small glass containers today. They will get sprayed very soon!

Etching Cream is FUN! Need to make the letters a little thicker, or etch the entire glass instead of the letters!

Sam

The weather people were predicting a HUGE snow storm the night of 2/23/12. It definitely was not as GRAND as they predicted but it was certainly enough to cancel school. The kids were so happy! We haven't had much snow this winter. This snow was perfect for snowman and fort building. I got the idea when I saw two empty shoe boxes in the garage. They ended up getting too wet and fell apart. We used Sam's toy storage bins. After two hours of packing and moving heavy, damp snow, this is what we made! We came inside to dry off, have hot chocolate (with marshmellows!) and eat lunch. Not an hour later, the fort crumbled! What was perfect about this day, we all worked together SO nicely! Everyone treated each other so kind (I am referring to Catie and Max). There was not one moment of unpleasantness. I truly cherrished the few hours we all played together!

Catie's 7th Birthday

I used Sweet Treats to create the cupcakes. Even read the cartridge directions! Never would have figured it out if I did not!

Sam's 3rd Birthday

Sam's Drawings

Sam has started drawing faces, all on his own. A few weeks ago, I asked him to draw a NOSE on the face. He replied, "I don't know how to draw noses!". Today, I asked him who each 'face' is. The one on the bottom left is an alien. The one in the middle is a boy. Maybe the top left is the cupcake. He lost interest after that! I should compare them to the ones Catie and Max drew at his age. I'm sure they look very similar!
