This summer we put Brookie in Mother's Day Out just on Thursdays so that Jack, Claire, and I could do some activities that we can't do when she is with us. On our first Thursday, we did papier mache projects; Claire made her pinata and Jack made a mask. Last Thursday was the best so far! We went to see a performance of Stellaluna by the StoneLion Puppet Theatre. It was incredible! After lunch, we went back and the kids participated in a puppet-making workshop where they made sock puppet caterpillars that turn into butterflies. It was an amazingly simple craft, but quite a novelty for Jack and Claire.
Today, we made flower presses and then collected wild flowers to press. Jack and Claire really enjoyed themselves and so did their science geek mom! Jack is planning to get online to try to identify the flowers that we found -- a worthy exercise since he has decided (at least for now) that he wants to be a landscape architect when he grows up. Plus, studying God's creation is a wonderful way for them to learn about our Creator!
