Project Break...

Much of today was spent running around. I took Sean to Crafty Scrapper because it's like treasure hunting for him. Enjoyed lunch with his Grandpa and Ms. JuJu (who has now been renamed JuPa, since Grandpa calls him Seanpa). After lunch it was to Home Depot for a bucket (a project supply Sean needed for an artsy trash can)

This one is kind of girly, but Sean will make it his own. He just needed the directions.


Then off we went to Ikea for some much needed supplies to organize his art studio space in his room. I spent 20 minutes in line for the play area, because Sean didn't want to shop with me. Then he proceeded to ask me to take my time shopping so he could play for the full hour he was allowed to be there.

I don't know if either of us is going to make it to the ball drop tonight. We're exhausted!!! All the running around and no nap. Looks like the New Year will ring in without us.

Thursday's Christmas Break Project - Foil Art

Sean received a gift card for Toys R Us and we found this foil art kit. It comes with (12) 5x7 posters and (40) sheets of foil. You peel away sections on the poster to reveal the adhesive. You then place the foil over the exposed adhesive and rub. The color comes off and you just repeat the process. It's a nice, mess free craft.

Sunday's Christmas Break Project - Wind Up Robots

Sunday's project was a wind up robot kit that I found at Michael's. It has stickers that Sean can color and use to decorate the robots. The robots have to be built using the pre-cut templates, adhesive foam, and wind up mechanism. It includes all the stuff to make 5 wind up robots.

Waffle Addicts - 3 days and counting

Nana & Papa gave us a waffle iron for Christmas so naturally Sean wanted waffles Sunday morning.


We've had waffles for breakfast for the last 3 days. I actually don't mind making a hot breakfast now, since waffles are WAY easier than making pancakes.

Monday's Christmas Break Project - Bouncing Balls

Hobby Lobby has their kids activity kits 2/$10. Yesterday I let Sean pick out a couple to do this week to give him something to look forward to each day.

Monday he made his own bouncing balls:The activity only took about 20-30 minutes from set up to balls being ready for him to bounce around the house. Because he made them, he's been playing with them for the past 2 days. Alot longer than had they been ones we bought.
