from this perspective...


When we have sleepovers, we usually have some sort of craft lined up. This one was particularly clever, If I do say so myself. I found the instructions on the internet to make a snowglobe and it was great fun.

You put transparent tape over your photo to make it waterproof, then you find a container - we used mason jars. Then you add a equal amounts of corn syrup and water. Add the glitter or grated PVC pipe ( that is our next experiment). We did find out after the boys got them home that mason jars are not the perfect containers and it would seem, do leak. We will have to work on that.

On my way very early this morning to a house full of sick kids. There are no crafts involved today. Mostly it involves holding kids, getting medicine and passing out Seven Up to anyone who will drink. Somedays are that way - of course, it seems like it has been way longer this year.

Somedays, it is sleepovers and crafts and somedays, it is comforting and taking care of. It is the same for us big people... figure out where you are and you are 90% there...
