Afternoon Projects

Now that the weather has turned cold and darkness arrives early, the buddies have been keeping busy indoors with afternoon projects. Here's what they've been up to:

Ben, decorating his gingerbread man (and then he ate the whole thing).

Ace, with his gingerbread man. (He didn't take a single bite because he wanted to save it to show Daddy and offer him a "lick".)

Ben's family portrait. From left to right: Mommy, Ben, Daddy, Ace.

Ace, playing with the "Yuk" that we made out of glue, water, food coloring, and Borax.
So. Much. Fun.

Our science project. Everyone hypothesized that beans need water to grow. We were right!

Bubble Art. Fill a bowl with water, dish soap, and tempera paint. Blow (don't suck!) until the bubbles grow over the top of the bowl. Press a sheet of paper over the bubbles and check out your cool bubble painting. For the record, our paintings didn't turn out (probably because I didn't use enough paint), and both boys accidentally drank a little bit of soapy, painty water, which freaked me out, so we abandoned the project. But the picture is cute!
