The girls and I tried out a new Pinterest find - painting with paperclips and magnets. Before we added the paint, they practiced holding their paper plate in one hand while waving their magnetic wand underneath it with the other. They each got to pick three colors to squirt on their paper plate, then placed a paperclip right in the middle. It worked out really well! Nobody even got any paint on their clothes!
We learned a lot about bugs this week! One highlight was hiding bugs in the sandtable and digging them out with their new kid-sized tweezers. Annabelle's favorite part was rubbing her bare feet over the sand that had fallen onto the ground. I let them take turns sitting on my lap so that their feet could dangle into the table, while the other two would pour sand over them and bury their toes. They loved it!
As the morning sun warmed up the day, we began to shed layers until they were down to their diapers. Oops! I think more sand ended up in their diapers than they left in the table!
My Mom sent some cookie dough to work with me one morning and the girls had fun rolling and patting their own colored cookies!
The bug hunting continued when Belle found an itty bitty spider crawling across the living room floor. Good eyes, Belle!
We had an afternoon of fun spent camping out in the sleeping bags!
We had another FANTASTIC outing to the zoo!
And the week was closed out with a show from Dave Barnes and Andrew Ripp and fireworks over downtown Nashville. Can't beat that!
