Prepping for Mother's Day

Madilyn, Colter Lee, and Traven came over this afternoon.  We made things for Carly for Mother's Day.  I cleaned several tin cans before they arrived.  They hammered holes and used an electric drill to make more holes.  Papa attached wire handles.  I covered the kids as best I could in plastic bags with sandwich bags on their hands, before they spray painted the cans.  We were all quite a mess, but they were happy with the results... black, gold, and white lanterns.

For their second project, each did a hand print and a fingerprint on a white cotton bag.  They painted a stem for each of their hand prints and I filled in with grass, ladybugs, and bees.  Voila, a pretty Mother's Day bag!  In between all the crafts, we flew kites.  We had fun this afternoon!
