Nautical Craft
















We had boatloads (pun intended) of fun at the Nautical Nonsense Craft today. We made lighthouses, oceans in bottles, and ate "dessert islands". The big hit was the balloon fishing poles complete with fish. The islands were in this month's issue of American Girl mag and the lighthouses were from a girl scout leader's website. The balloon twisting I learned at a workshop this spring.





All of the photos are pre-event, as we cannot take pix of our kids without permission, but this was before the chaos.

Snowed in and loving it

Here is how I spent my snowed in time: I read the Alchemist , played Super Mario Wii with the kids, went sledding twice, watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Zombieland, and cleaned. Woo-hoo! Who is for more snow? Me! To save your snowed in time: Cloudy has a couple of Ha's in it, Zombieland is a waste of two hours (Woody H. is great, Bill Murray was a surprise, the annoying OCD lead guy is boring and for better action, I say pop Shaun of the Dead in and you will get more bang for your buck). The Alchemist was nothing like I expected it to be and I really enjoyed it. It is a fun adventure novel with a spiritual point. Tonight I will tackle Moon . I am not a fan of Sam Rockwell, but here goes.
