Rainy Day - Crafty Day

12 March 2012

It POURED rain today - so much so that I can see some small patches of grass! Could it be ... could Spring be on the way? Oh, I hope so. I may live in the land of ice and snow ... but I don't have to like it. ;)

Well, playing outside wasn't happening today, so we spent the day crafting (which I must admit, I totally prefer). Do you remember these READ letters I made for my classroom this summer? When I bought these letters, I also bought my daughters' initials. I had planned to do something with them AGES ago, but they got lost in my craft clutter in the basement. I found them a few days ago and knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.

I had a TON of buttons left over from making 100th day of school shirts for my girls, so we pulled out the buttons and the fun started from there. And just because it's March Break, the learning doesn't stop at home. My youngest girl was in charge of sorting colours, my middle girl was in charge of sorting by size, and my oldest was in charge of fitting the buttons on the letters. I got stuck with the glue gun again. But this time, I emerged unscathed!

LOVE them!
