Payton was vacationing in Salina when we started this project, so the girls and I had to carry on without him. They didn't seem to mind.
Maddie had to get undressed for this one. It was new craft paint and I didn't know if it would come out of her clothes. Painting with her is a 1:2 ratio of painting herself and painting her project. She will most likely be my first child to get a tattoo. She loves decorating her body. Whatever.
Payton finally returned and the cans were dry so it was time to assemble the wind chimes. First we had to all gawk at the spider that found his way in the can. Luckily there was already a washer in the bottom of the can so I just had to shake it like a martini and the spider was dead. Dump. Wipe. Ready for crafts.
Payton nailed the holes in the top? bottom? end of the can. He did a pretty good job. I was impressed. And I love that his tongue juts out whenever he thinks hard. Must help keep his brain balanced.
Yes, that is my hand holding the nail. The paint got a little thick in places and it made it difficult for him to get through it, so he asked me to hold the nail. Yes, I did get hit. It did hurt. And there were times when he was getting so frustrated with the nail not going through that he started pounding on it harder and just the thought if the impending finger smashing was almost worse than when it finally did happen.
Ella's protruding bottom lip when she found out they weren't all getting their own wind-chime. Piffle.
Assembled with washers to bang them around.
Up and ready for the upcoming storm. They were supposed to red and blue but Ella found a way to make pink. They're still cute.
He was proud, but there wasn't any wind to blow them around so he had to climb up and sling them back and forth a couple times.
A good Craft Thursday. Next we're either doing tie-dye, or rockets, or lobsters. Haven't narrowed that down yet, but they're all really cute. Maybe we'll do all three.
